Eagles fans: Frantic to the end
By Patrick Kerkstra and Matthew P. Blanchard
Inquirer Staff Writers

For more than 20 dismal years without a Super Bowl, Eagles fans such as Mike Carter faithfully did their part. When the Eagles themselves could not be menacing, Carter would be: Drinking, screaming, throwing punches and tumbling down stairs in the 700 level of Veterans Stadium, he helped earn Philadelphia fans a national reputation for enthusiasm.

Imagine his euphoria yesterday, with the Eagles suddenly on top of the world, hammering the Washington Redskins into the NeXturf of Veterans Stadium, 34-21, to clinch their second consecutive NFC East title - even after losing starting quarterback Donovan McNabb (to a broken ankle) and backup Koy Detmer (to a dislocated left elbow) in back-to-back games.

"E-A-G-L-E-S, Eagles!" Carter, 31, and his friends howled at the sky. They gripped plastic cups of beer. They urinated in plain view. They harassed a passing group of teenaged girls. And all this was in the parking lot at 10:30 a.m. - 21/2 hours before the game began.

When the game did start, 65,615 fans watched the Eagles charge through the last regular-season game scheduled to ever be played at the drafty Vet after 32 seasons of play. The Eagles will play one or, possibly, two playoff games at the Vet, depending on the outcome of their remaining two games. Final destination: The Super Bowl?

"This is the year; I know it because it's in the... air!" shrieked Debi Broccardi, 38, her body shaking for a moment before breaking into a foot-stomping dance. "It's going to blow the city apart!"

"Ed Rendell becomes the governor, and the Eagles take the Super Bowl. What could be better?" asked her carpenter husband, John Broccardi of Warminster.

Nearby Brian Muhlberger, 24, was sloshing beer onto his coat as he reached back to grip his long, dirty-blond ponytail. "I've been growing this out for two years, waiting for a champion. I will give them my hair!" he cried, eyes fixed on the green gridiron far below. "Take my hair!"

The Eagles have played in the NFC East since 1970, yet have won the Eastern division title only three times before: In 1980, when they came up short in their only Super Bowl appearance; in 1988, when they played in the weather-marred "Fog Bowl" game against the Bears in Chicago; and last year, when they went as far as the NFC title game against the Rams in St. Louis.

The Dallas Cowboys have won 15 NFC East titles and the Redskins seven, against which Philadelphia's total looks meager. But many in the crowd said they had been inspired by the way second-stringer Detmer stepped up this year to fill McNabb's shoes, only to go down himself and be replaced by third-stringer A.J. Feeley. Bloodied, the team has rolled on undaunted, like the city's legendary, fictional boxing alter-ego whose statue graces the Spectrum across the street from the Vet.

"It's so Philly," said Debi Broccardi. "So Philly."

Even a few Redskins fans, huddled together by their charter bus in the parking lot, felt the pathos.

"It's inspiring," said Raul Gonzalez, 32, of Maryland, who said he took care not to wear clothing bearing the word "Redskins," after being pelted with peanuts and hot dogs at earlier games.

"The people here are evil, man; they're scary," added another incognito Redskins fan, Neal Kursban, 32. "It's, like, a less evolved type of person."

And Kursban hadn't even met Kevin Johnson, who took eight Styrofoam mannequin heads, X-ed out their eyes with marker, soaked their severed necks with red ink, and staked them onto a parking-lot fence. Each bore the logo of a team the Eagles had tussled with at the Vet this season.

Next season, the Eagles plan to move across Pattison Avenue to play at the $510 million Lincoln Financial Field. Even those who refer to the Vet as "the Toilet" will miss it in some way.

"Every Sunday it was like the Romans watching the Christians get fed to the lions," Carter said with nostalgia.

No effort was made to memorialize the stadium during yesterday's game. Security guards stopped one man from hanging two dozen 15-foot signs throughout the building, one reading: "Remember the Vet."

As for the new "Linc" field, many in the 700 level see their weekly Mardi Gras being threatened by the cool corporate mood of new stadiums such as the First Union Center.

"It'll be cell phones and neckties, instead of T-shirts and middle fingers," groused Anthony Betham, 35, a bartender from Collingdale. "It'll be horrible."

And then there were those who just could not walk away without taking something - however bizarre - to remember the Vet by.

"They wouldn't let us take seats; they wouldn't let us take turf," said Greg Kirwan, 27, as he rode home on a packed and raucous subway car. "So we had to take an ornamental cabbage" from the decorative foliage outside the stadium. He hoisted the cabbage above his head to cheers.

"I'm going to plant this in my brother's garden," he declared. "The Vet will live on in Merion."

A friend suggested that everyone should eat a small piece of the cabbage.

"Then the Vet will become part of all of us," said Mike Toband, 30, as they choked down bits of greenery. "Like Communion."
