The Birds, the reigning NFC champions and coming off an appearance in the Super Bowl last February, are looking to go over the hump this year and claim the Vince Lombardi trophy.
"It's always fun to get the fans in there and see them. To get the stadium back rocking and to be back in the stadium, it's something to look forward to. It will be a fun one," star quarterback Jalen Hurts said days leading up to the event.
Several supporters drove for hours to see the team execute their drills and plays while the practice session started at 7 PM ET.
