Take in river and city views from the Schuylkill River Trail, a 10-mile-long path that runs through the center of the city. Once the home of the Philadelphia Eagles, Franklin Field is now the University of Pennsylvania's stadium for football, track and field, and lacrosse. Considered to be the oldest continually-operating football stadium in America, visit here to see the site of the country’s first scoreboard in 1895, as well as the first stadium that built an upper deck of seats in 1922.
