EaglesAddict Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Posting in here for visibility purposes... I feel the need to be around fellow Eagles fans for the big game. Somehow I've ended up in a situation where most of the friends I hang with aren't football fans or aren't Eagles fans (wtf, right?). I'm thinking of XFinity Live...although I'm sure that place is gonna be bonkers/packed. Anyone going there? Where are some good bars to go and watch? Most important thing is a place set up well with big TVs for decent actual viewing...then food, drinks and of course, Eagles fans!
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Dude!!! I’m up for meeting to watch the game? I’m going to be flying in from the UK… 2

The Linc will actually be open to watch the game on the jumbotron and it's free if you are looking for a game type atmosphere 1

A co worker mentioned it to me and I have a brother in Philly bout a half hr from there. Thinking to go to his place early then head over but I'd be willing to bet its gonna be packed as soon as they open but YOLO

Do you know if you can call ahead and reserve a table somewhere there? One person I know who went back during the 2017 SB said he showed up at like noon to stand in line, the place opened at 2, and he was able to get a seat at the bar (amazingly).
NJWolverEagle11 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 I've never been. I'll ask my co worker who mentioned to me. I'm thinking my bro(s) may wanna roll too so might have a group so def gonna need to call ahead and/or explore backup options
beto_eagles Posted January 27 Posted January 27 If the Eagles win (knock on wood), I think I'd take the next flight to Philly for the parade. Do you guys know which day it would take place? I know it was on Thursday 7 years ago, but I'm not sure how and when they announce it.

Not sure what they'll consider this. The date is greyed out on their reservation link online. That either means they didn't open it up yet or will be first come, first serve, etc. If you find out anything, let me know...appreciate it!

I don't think they'd announce it until after they know there'd be one. But yeah, that Thursday is prob a good bet.

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Xfinity are selling tickets from Wednesday this week… Will there be places in Philly that you don’t need reservations for? And will just need to turn up mega early for? Sorry but we just don’t have this problem in the UK.

We don’t want to fly in from the UK and not get in anywhere that would suck!

That would. The first place we were talking about (xfinity live) I've not been and don't know if there's a reservation system. It's in the sports complex by the linc and citifield and wells Fargo center. I hear the place is huge and I'm sure it's gonna be packed for the SB. I can let you know as I get info. The spot I linked is a backup plan if xfinity doesn't work.

Nice! I just went through their "book a table" online reservation thing and I'm not 100% sure it's right. When you put in a time for 2/9 date, you have to "pick an experience" and the only option is something called "cheer on the fly guys"...which is a Flyers thing. So, not sure what that means. But if it's right, there's zero deposit for a reservation.
