Philly Leader

Frank Crinite, a dedicated Philadelphia Eagles fan and season ticket holder since 1997, has been named the 2024 Eagles Fan of the Year. This honor was presented by Ticketmaster in recognition of his unwavering support for the team and commitment to his community.

Crinite's journey as an Eagles fan began at Veterans Stadium and has continued through the years. His dedication was celebrated with a surprise event at Lincoln Financial Field, where he found his name on the scoreboard as Fan of the Year. The celebration included meeting former Eagles receiver Mike Quick, who congratulated him and presented him with two tickets to Super Bowl LIX, along with a custom jersey and football.

"I'm still blown away," Crinite remarked about receiving this honor. "This is so crazy, it's an absolute honor, and I'm humbled."

In addition to his passion for football, Crinite is also known for his work with the Delco Group, which he co-founded. The group focuses on raising funds and supporting people in Delaware County facing challenges. They organize events such as fundraisers for the Eagles Autism Foundation and holiday toy drives.

Reflecting on his experience as a fan, Crinite said, "In my head, I've always been the Fan of the Year." He expressed excitement about attending Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.

Crinite had an unforgettable day at Lincoln Financial Field and NovaCare Complex that included an exclusive photo shoot and viewing of the Lombardi Trophy from Super Bowl LII. Despite feeling like he might be part of a prank initially, seeing his name on the board confirmed it was real.

Crinite will join nominees from other NFL teams at Super Bowl LIX on February 9, 2025. Fans can vote for him to become the Ultimate Fan of the Year at NFL Honors on February 6.
