For being such an incredible Vegan City, Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field is underwhelming. I attended Temple football games during the 2017 & 2018 seasons along with a couple of Eagles games.
I will be honest, I chose to utilize Lincoln Financials option to bring in food.
You can bring in your own food as long as it is wrapped in clear plastic. I know a lot of people will pick up food on the way then take it in. I kept it cheap and made a sandwich or wrap at home and packed it along with a couple of snacks.
The following options were found through extensive research. These are not verified through the stadium as they do NOT give much information at all.
If you can help us update this guide, please let us know!

Vegan Options Near Arrowhead Stadium
Looking to grab a bite to eat before or after the game? We did some research and found a couple of vegan-friendly spots close to the stadium.
These are NOT 100% vegan restaurants since there are not any close to the stadium but they do have many vegan-specific menu items and the restaurants take care in doing their best not to have cross-contamination issues.
Philadium
Philadium is a bar within walking distance (20-25 minutes / 1.2 miles) to the stadium that offers vegan pizza, vegan wings, burgers and cheesesteak. This could be a spot you order from, pick up your food to tailgate then wrap the rest in a clear plastic bag to take in with you.
See the bag search guidelines above for bag size details.
