PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) --
A very dedicated Philadelphia Eagles fan has marked an impressive milestone.Rick Green from Lumberton, New Jersey attended his 200th consecutive Eagles home game.
Green said he's attended every home game since September 12, 1994.
On Sunday, Green and his friends wore a t-shirt with the words "The Streak" emblazoned on the back.
Green told Action news that it's not just the team that keeps him coming back, it's the whole experience going to a game.

If that wasn't cool enough, the NFL and the Eagles organization recognized Rick's accomplishment by offering him the opportunity to lead the Eagles out of the tunnel prior to kick-off and carry the team flag. As you expect Rick politely declined the offer as he didn't want the focus on him instead making sure the Eagles could concentrate on the opponent at hand. The sacrifice was paid off as the Eagles easily handled the 49ers to take their record to 7-1, giving Rick a well deserved victory for this 200th game and bringing his personal record to 121 wins and 79 losses over the length of the streak.
Little did Rick know that his snub actually left Carson Wentz "at the altar" holding the ball as our soon-to-be MVP was eagerly awaiting Rick's arrival so he could give the game ball in honor of this amazing accomplishment. The Eagles organization being the class act that they are made sure this heirloom worthy recognition wouldn't sit idle and mailed the ball to Rick so he could share it with future generations of Green's.
