Philadelphia turns green on Valentine바카라 게임 웹사이트s Day to celebrate Super Bowl champions
Philadelphia was awash in green on Valentine바카라 게임 웹사이트s Day to celebrate its Super Bowl champions.
Swooning fans screamed and cheered Friday as MVP quarterback Jalen Hurts and Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie took turns hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy at the start of the team's victory parade through the City of Brotherly Love.
Many fans camped out along the team바카라 게임 웹사이트s parade route overnight, huddling under blankets and inside tents to secure prime spots near the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where the Eagles took the stage on the 바카라 게임 웹사이트Rocky 바카라 게임 웹사이트 steps.
바카라 게임 웹사이트You know I told myself that when I got drafted, that I wouldn바카라 게임 웹사이트t come to the Rocky steps until I won a championship," Hurts told cheering fans. 바카라 게임 웹사이트And now we바카라 게임 웹사이트re here.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Others decked out in Eagles jerseys climbed trees and light poles, perched themselves atop ladders and clung to a statue of Benjamin Franklin near City Hall to get a glimpse of record-setting running back Saquon Barkley and Cooper DeJean, the rookie defensive back who ran an interception into the end zone on his 22nd birthday.
바카라 게임 웹사이트This team is special. We can바카라 게임 웹사이트t be great without the greatness of others and that certainly applies to our fans,바카라 게임 웹사이트 said head coach Nick Sirianni.
Barkley, along with many other players, hopped off the open-air buses to walk along the parade route and exchange high-fives with fans who pressed against teetering barricades.
Jordan Jaindl, who couldn't make it to the 2018 parade after the Eagles won their first Super Bowl, wasn't going to miss this one, bringing his wife and three daughters from Binghamton, New York. This team, he said, was the embodiment of the city.
바카라 게임 웹사이트Their work ethic,바카라 게임 웹사이트 he said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트How they have to grind for each win. We have to grind here in Philly.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Fans showed up with grocery carts stocked with food and booze while a few stayed warm in a hotel, sipping champagne. One group roasted a pig with the number 바카라 게임 웹사이트15바카라 게임 웹사이트 carved into the side 바카라 게임 웹사이트 a final shot at Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
The Eagles, despite being underdogs, dominated the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, shutting them out in the first half before finishing with a 40-22 victory.
Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker, who made an amusing gaffe when she mangled the spelling of the 바카라 게임 웹사이트Eagles바카라 게임 웹사이트 as she led a chant last month, corrected herself earlier this week by calling them the 바카라 게임 웹사이트N-F-L-C-H-A-M-P-I-O-N-S.바카라 게임 웹사이트
She and other city leaders implored the team바카라 게임 웹사이트s exuberant fans and keep the mood festive for the Valentine바카라 게임 웹사이트s Day dinner crowd.
바카라 게임 웹사이트Do not climb any light poles,바카라 게임 웹사이트 the mayor said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트In the midst of all this beauty, all of the sacrifices this team has made to meet this moment, we don바카라 게임 웹사이트t want it to all go by the wayside.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Despite her admonitions, a few fans stood on top of port-a-potties and city trucks downtown.
Just weeks ago, a college student falling from a street pole after the Eagles' won the NFC championship game. A year ago, a left one person dead and nearly two dozen wounded.
There was a large police presence along the Philadelphia parade route, which stretches from South Philadelphia where the Eagles play all the way to City Hall and then onto the art museum.
Dump trucks and heavy equipment blocked many of the side streets along the route. City schools closed for the parade, along with city courts and other agencies.
