Lincoln Financial Field, familiarly known as The Linc, is the home stadium of the National Football League's Philadelphia Eagles. It has the seating capacity of 68,532. The stadium replaced the old Veterans Stadium after over two years of construction, and while the total capacity was barely changed, it doubled the amount of luxury and wheelchair-accessible seats, as well as introduced other more modern services. Like the Vet, Lincoln Financial Field has a jail right in the stadium, in this case with four jail cells [1]. The stadium opened on August 8, 2003 with a preseason friendly match between European football (soccer) giants Manchester United F.C. and FC Barcelona. Some matches in the FIFA Women's World Cup for soccer were also played there in 2003. The Army-Navy Game American football game is also played at the stadium, and the stadium is scheduled to host more in the future. Temple University Division I-A college football team also plays home field games at Lincoln Financial Field, paying the Eagles $6 million a year to do so. ==References== #Brion Costello; (September 26, 2004) [http://www.nypost.com/sports/29271.htm WHAT THE HECKLE?].

User:Joy has repeatedly removed my citation of http://www.nypost.com/sports/29271.htm for the fact that the stadium has four jail cells, in violation of Wikipedia:Cite sources. User:Anthony DiPierro User:Anthony_DiPierro/warning 19:11, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC) : This is really silly. It's not an issue of ''basic intellectual honesty'' that we keep a link to a long article that makes a cursory mention of this trivial little factoid and which isn't even a primary source. --User:Joy 20:20, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC) ::It's not an issue of honesty, it's an issue of convenience. If I read a strange fact, like that there's a jail inside a football field, I'm going to question it, and if there's a link to a respected source which confirms it, it's going to save me the time of looking up that source myself. I wouldn't even think to go through the history and try to figure out when this fact was inserted, just in case that person added a link to a source which was later removed.

It says nothing more than what is already said in our article, and only provides corroboration from a respected source. Is the latter worth the advertizing?
