Philadelphia Eagles fans have plenty to celebrate after the team beat the Washington Commanders with a lethal offensive performance in the NFC Championship game to get their ticket to Super Bowl LIX which will be played February the 9th at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The Eagles got the victory 55-23 over the Commanders after putting together a great performance that showed everything about an NFC team that started the season 2-2 and found its way to finish the season with 15 wins in 16 games, thanks in part to a stellar defense and the leadership of quarterback Jalen Hurts and the spectacular plays of superstar running back Saquon Barkley.

Philadelphia will have to beat the defending Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs, led by iconic quarterback Patrick Mahomes and star tight end Travis Kelce, in order to celebrate another championship in a rematch of Super Bowl LVII.

A couple of videos posted in social media showed how some fans doing pole climbing even though the city officials greased the poles earlier, something that didn’t stopped the people from showing out their love and passion for the Eagles. A man that climbed a pole came down and appeared to be taken into custody by police.
The fans are keeping a local tradition alive: pole climbing in Philadelphia goes back years and there’s even an annual grease pole climbing competition at the Italian Market Festival that’s held at South 9th Street. If the Eagles win Super Bowl LIX, we expect more fans to go extra wild at the poles.
