If the chorus of 'Fly! Eagles! Fly!' or 'E-A-G-L-E-S' chants become too overwhelming for fans with sensory needs at Lincoln Financial Field, the Philadelphia Eagles took a big step to make sure those fans don't have to leave the event.
If the chorus of"Fly! Eagles! Fly!" or"E-A-G-L-E-S" chants become too overwhelming for fans with sensory needs at Lincoln Financial Field, the Philadelphia Eagles took a big step to make sure those fans don't have to leave the event.
"When we think about families with children with autism coming to a game, there's barriers to re-entry, there's sensory overload when we score a touchdown and there's pyrotechnics," said Ryan Hammond, executive director of the Eagles Autism Challenge."We felt the sensory room was what we needed to be fully accessible and the idea behind it was not to change the experience but deliver a solution if they needed to take a break.
"But this event can't be just one day and we wanted to be authentic to this commitment. We wanted to do more, so we spent the last year working toward the launch of the sensory room. It's great to see it finally open to the public."
