Judge: Eagles owe City $8 million

Common Pleas Court judge Albert W. Sheppard Jr. ruled this morning that the Eagles do owe the city $8 million in skybox revenue from the former Veterans Stadium.

Sheppard Jr. is expected to rule on how much the city owes the Eagles from a 2001 pre-season game that was canceled due to field conditions at the Vet next week.

The Eagles claimed they had a "secret deal" with then-Mayor John Street to settle the skybox and canceled game disputes for less than $1 million. Street denied any deal was made.
