David and Ray Didinger finally watch their first Eagles game together in 49 years

David Didinger was raised on the Veterans Stadium turf. He was raised in press boxes, taking the rickety Vet media elevator down to the field level after seeing his famous dad, Ray, before he went to work. David would watch games from the mouth of the visitors tunnel with a security guard, since his mom was an Eagles’ cheerleader.

He was raised on the 1980’s Philadelphia Eagles.

He’s watched the Eagles everywhere, through his own eyes from the lumpy Vet stadium carpet, and through a viewfinder as a TV network cameraman. He’s watched the Eagles everywhere except sitting next to his father.
