WWE and wrestling fans from all over the globe are preparing to descend upon South Philadelphia for WrestleMania XL on April 6th and 7th. It’s the biggest event in the pro wrestling universe, and you’re going to need to fuel up while you’re at Lincoln Financial Field, especially if you’re going to be there on both nights.
If you’re arriving from outside of this area, welcome to the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection! At the Linc, home of the Philadelphia Eagles, there are a bunch of different places to eat that represent our city’s rich history and big appetite.
If you’re local, it can still be overwhelming to figure out where to spend your precious time in line for a bite. With a capacity of approximately 65,600 seats, the stadium is huge. We know that you don’t want to miss a minute of Mania, so it’s important to plan ahead. (And after a beverage or two, you’ll be grateful you got a lay of the land ahead of time.)
Plus, our gluten-free friends and veg-heads need something to snack on! But where do you find it?

But once you’re through the gates of the Linc for the “Showcase of Immortals,” here’s where you can satisfy your cravings while you watch each match go down.
