With stadium project stalled, Temple officials hope to discuss potential lease extension with Eagles

While a report from the Temple News says Temple officials will be in talks with the Eagles about a potential lease extension at Lincoln Financial Field, that is apparently news to the Eagles.

Temple vice president for public affairs Bill Bergman told the Temple News that the university will begin talks by the end of the year. But the sides have yet to talk, Temple Board of Trustees Chairman Patrick J. O'Connor told the Inquirer/Daily News. His story was confirmed by a person familiar with the Eagles' side of things.

Temple's original 15-year lease with the Eagles to play at the Linc expired at the end of the 2017 season, and the university signed two one-year extensions to continue the agreement for this season and the 2019 season.
