The Philadelphia Eagles fans, considered some of the most faithful and passionate in the NFL, are always thinking about having a parade with their players and now, for the second time in six years, they are one victory away from achieving it, if they can now beat the two-time champion Kansas City Chiefs, the new NFL dynasty.
The last time the Eagles won the Super Bowl, in the 2017 season, the parade was held on the Thursday after the game and it is not a bad idea, as it gives fans almost a week to prepare and, in the process, let a storm pass through the Philadelphia area.

This Monday is expected to be a cloudy day, but on Tuesday the 11th a storm is expected that could leave up to 15 centimeters of snow in the city, complicating any type of celebration. These snowfalls will last until Wednesday, although with less intensity.
So an ideal day would be precisely Thursday the 13th, although a little rain is also expected in the morning. Finally, on Friday the 14th, in the midst of Valentine’s Day, the weather will be perfect, with cloudy skies and a maximum temperature of 36 degrees. There would be no need to wait any longer, since on Saturday, almost a week after the Super Bowl, a new storm is expected to arrive, accompanied by rain and snow in the area.
The parade route in case Philadelphia wins the Super Bowl
In February 2018, when the Eagles won their only title so far in NFL history, more than 2 million fans took to the streets of the ‘City of Brotherly Love’ to celebrate.
The parade began at the Lincoln Financial Field at 11 in the morning and traveled just over five miles through the main streets of the city for almost two hours, aboard 22 panoramic buses on whose top part current players and some stars of the past paraded, as well as cheerleaders, managers and some local celebrities.
As well as a delegation of city services: police, firefighters, ambulances and floats. At that celebration, some of the players dressed in superhero costumes and were also accompanied by their families.
On the streets of Philadelphia, the fans chanted for their Eagles at all times, after they won their first title in three tries.
In addition, the city installed 14 screens and 850 portable toilets, which served hundreds of people who partied under the influence of intoxicating drinks from very early on. In addition, classes and activities in public offices in the city of Philadelphia and surrounding suburbs in New Jersey were suspended.
The parade concluded on the esplanade of the Art Museum, where some of the team’s figures spoke to the fans.
