Don't replace Lincoln Financial Field, readers say

Catch up quick: Eagles ownership is weighing whether to build a shiny new stadium or update the Linc, which has been the team's home since 2003.

• The team recently surveyed season-ticket holders to measure their interest for building a new stadium or sprucing up the Linc.
• A decision could come soon as the Eagles' lease at the city-owned stadium is up in 2032.

The big picture: The South Philly sports complex is slated for big developments over the coming decade.

• The Sixers and Comcast Spectacor are working on a new arena to open by at least 2031, but likely sooner.
• Plus: Spectacor's plans also include new hotels, housing and restaurants.

What you're saying: Here are readers' takes on the future of the Linc.

🏟️ Linc lifers

• No way. It's an institution.
• Football should be played outdoors. If you need a roof, you shouldn't have a team.
• If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
• The chance at hosting one Super Bowl every 25 years doesn't make it worth it. Philly is gritty, not bougie.

🏗️ New stadium backers

• Any new stadium needs flexibility! Leave the roof open for all regular-season and playoff games, but close it so we can host Super Bowls and NCAA Final Fours.

• It would be great to have a year-round venue that would bring revenue to the city.
• A new stadium, sure. But keep it open to elements. A dome of any kind will create a generic experience.
• It's damn freezing in the winter.
