Tens of thousands of Eagles fans were gathered nearby to watch speeches from the Super Bowl champion Birds, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker and others.
Investigators determined that an argument is what led to the shooting and the person who shot the women was identified as a 28-year-old man.
A 27-year-old woman suffered a gunshot wound to her left leg and a 20-year-old woman was shot in her upper left thigh, police said. Both were taken to a nearby hospital and listed in stable condition.
Speeches from elected officials and the Eagles players and coaches continued a short time later.
The man accused of the gunfire was arrested and will be charged, police said. Even though a scene was never found during the investigation, a weapon was recovered.
