Alleged ‘Reports’: Ramps Are Safe At Linc

Two weeks after Rampgate — when Eagles fans said the ramps swayed up to four feet at the conclusion of the Eagles-Dallas game — the reports from engineering firms the Eagles hired are in and… uhh… everything’s okay.

(Yeah, right, Eagles. If drunken Eagles fans say the ramps were shaking four feet in each direction, then it must have happened.)

Anyway, although the reports said everything is okay, it also says the Eagles should add some braces to the sides to calm fans’ mental nerves. (Again, yeah right. Those firms? On the take. The Eagles? Totally going to add braces so no one dies. C’mon, guys, I can see right through your transparency! The ramps swayed fifty-five feet in each direction and you know it.) And no ramp damage either.

Here’s the deal:

“This is not required for structural safety but will assist in reducing the potential for reoccurrence and help to restore the psychological confidence of your patrons,” Thornton Tomasetti vice president Mark Coggin wrote. “With the temporary control in place, an engineered solution could be developed.”

Let’s just say that next home game against Jacksonville is going to be a scary one. Well, moreso if the Eagles lose this weekend.
