Philadelphia is gearing up for a massive celebration! Following the Eagles' dominant 40-22 Super Bowl LIX triumph over the Kansas City Chiefs, the city anticipates a crowd of around one million people for the victory parade and ceremony on Friday. City offices and public schools will be closed to accommodate the festivities.
The school district encouraged everyone to "celebrate the Eagles' victory safely and responsibly with friends and family." The parade, featuring over 15 Jumbotrons broadcasting the event live, kicks off at 11 a.m. A ceremony will follow at 2 p.m. on the iconic "Rocky" Steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Fans planning to attend are advised to dress warmly. Despite being mid-February, the wind chill is predicted to be a chilly 22 degrees at the start of the parade, rising to only 27 degrees by 2 p.m. Gusty winds of 20 to 25 mph are also expected.
This victory marks the Eagles' second Super Bowl title, their previous win coming in 2018.
