Short description

Inspired by the true story of Vince Papale, a man with nothing to lose who ignored the staggering odds and made his dream come true. When the coach of Papale's beloved hometown football team hosted an unprecedented open tryout, the public consensus was that it was a waste of time – no one good enough to play professional football was going to be found this way.

What's left behind the scenes

The 1976 home stadium of the “Eagles” team, called “Veteran's Stadium,” was actually filmed at the team’s former home stadium, which served as such from 1958 to 1970. It was called “Franklin Field.” “Veteran's Stadium” was demolished in 2004, even before work on the film began. Interior shots were created using computer technology, and “Franklin Field” was used for exterior shots.
The real Vince Papale played an episodic role as one of the coaches.
Greg Kinnear prepared for the role by closely communicating with Dick Vermeil while he was the head coach of the “Kansas City Chiefs” team.
Scenes at the summer training camp were filmed in northern Philadelphia, and surrounding buildings were filmed in such a way as to create the illusion of a real training camp in 1976.
In one scene during a game, a player from the “Giants” team attacks the main character and knocks him down. This role was played by a football player from the University of Delaware team, but he was not supposed to attack, let alone knock down, Mark Wahlberg. The player was immediately removed from filming, but the scene was decided to be kept.
