Diehard Eagles Fans Line Up for Prime Parade Spot Almost a Day Ahead
Philadelphia Eagles fans are a passionate bunch, but two die-hards took it to the next level by camping out for 21 hours to get a good view of the Super Bowl victory parade. The parade follows the Eagles’ thrilling Super Bowl victory and is expected to draw large crowds as fans hope to catch a glimpse of their favorite players and the Lombardi Trophy.
The Early and The Cold for a Prime View
The first two fans to stake out their territory near the Philadelphia Museum of Art were Eric McClellan and Daishon Sanders. They arrived at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, braving below-freezing temperatures to secure an unobstructed view of the celebration.
“I was like, I’m going to be here early so I can have a good spot and see the whole thing,” McClellan said.
“We’re just ready to party,” said Sanders, wrapped in Eagles gear and prepared for a long wait.
Fans Fly In From All Over The World
The Eagles’ Super Bowl LIX win against the Kansas City Chiefs (40-22) has drawn fans from near and far. One particularly heartwarming story comes from a father-son duo from Leeds, England, who traveled across the Atlantic to witness history unfold.
Ian Roberts, a lifelong Eagles fan, had promised his son, Will, in 1998 that they would attend the Super Bowl parade if Philadelphia ever won the big game again. Their dream became a reality, and they joined thousands of green-clad supporters.
“It’s surreal. Seeing the players in person – it’s a dream come true,” said Will Roberts.
