Jason Kelce Gets Wooden Replica of Eagles' Stadium from Wife Kylie for NFL Retirement

If former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce gets homesick for Lincoln Financial Field following his retirement after 13 NFL seasons, he won't have to look far to see the Eagles' home stadium again.

Kylie Kelce commissioned a custom wooden replica of the stadium as a retirement gift for her husband, she shared on her Instagram Monday.

The wooden replica was created by Savannah, Georgia-based designer Dana Theobald, according to her Instagram.

Theobald's website states that her custom stadiums are built based largely on studies of Google Earth. The pieces are then laser printed and assembled by hand.

Kylie Kelce first contacted Theobald about the retirement gift two years ago, she wrote Monday on her Instagram story.

The designer then drafted the custom stadium before waiting to receive "retirement green light," Kylie Kelce said.

The stadium is set within a frame that can be hung on a wall. This frame is etched with Kelce's number as well as lines honoring his 13 NFL seasons, six All-Pro nominations, seven Pro Bowl selections and the Super Bowl he won with the Eagles in 2018.

Originally a sixth-round pick in the 2011 draft, Kelce served as a core member of the Eagles for over a decade. He announced his retirement in March after starting 156 straight regular-season games dating back to 2014.
