• Hallelujah, college football season is here! And it kicks off with a good local interest matchup, as Temple and Villanova face off in the inaugural Mayor's Cup game at Lincoln Financial Field (1 Lincoln Financial Way). Sure, these aren't two national football powerhouses, but local rivalry always kicks things up a notch anyway. 7 p.m., $15-$45.
