Eagles Super Bowl parade: Route, closures and what to expect
The Eagles' Super Bowl parade on Friday will shut down the heart of Philadelphia for a daylong party.
Why it matters: Plan for school closures, traffic delays and heightened safety precautions.
State of play: The celebration will stretch from the South Philly sports complex to the Rocky Steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the city says.
Philly's school district has canceled classes for the day.
By the numbers: More than 1 million fans are expected to turn out for the parade on Valentine's Day, said parade producer Fred Stein of the Creative Group during a news conference with city officials today.
What they're saying: "This unifies the city. You can feel it," said Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel.
"We're going to be on the world stage."
Route
The parade will start at 11am at South Broad Street and Pattison Avenue near the sports complex.
The route will proceed north up Broad Street, past City Hall and LOVE Park, and turn onto the Benjamin Franklin Parkway before ending at the Rocky Steps around 12:30–1pm.
The ceremony and speeches on the steps will run from approximately 2–3:15pm.
What else: Fifteen massive screens will be positioned along the route displaying Super Bowl LIX and live parade scenes.
Players and coaches will arrive in open-air buses.
Safety precautions
The city will activate its emergency operation center and other resources for the parade.
Expect a large police presence during the day, Bethel said.
Tips: City Managing Director Adam Thiel recommends that parade-goers sign up for the city's emergency notification system. He also suggests that fans:
Know where they want to go and how they're getting there and back.
Designate an emergency meetup location.
Don't depend on cell service, as systems will likely become overloaded.
Be aware of exits in case of an emergency.
Transit
Service on the Market-Frankford and Broad Street lines is free on Friday, but expect delays.
Yes, but: Those lines and Regional Rail will serve only select stations.
Fun fact: Presidents Day is Feb. 17, so fans who join the citywide party on Friday could be in for a four-day weekend.

Who won the Bryce Huff trade between the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles
Who won the Bryce Huff trade between the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The San Francisco 49ers agreed on a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles to bring edge rusher Bryce Huff to the Bay Area in exchange for what was initially reported as a "mid-round" draft pick. Advertisement We now officially know the exchange included a conditional fifth-round pick that could turn into a fourth based on Huff's performance with the 49ers. Judging by both teams' situations, you could argue that they both came away winners here. San Francisco was facing a mass exodus of quality defensive players this offseason and needed help on the edge opposite of Nick Bosa. For Philadelphia, they were clearly not in favor of keeping Huff after a letdown season resulted in him being a healthy scratch in the Eagles' Super Bowl win. What do the grades say? Pretty similar. ESPN believes both teams benefitted equally and earned a B+ in the deal. Advertisement On the San Fran side, Seth Walder writes: "This is a pretty reasonable play for San Francisco. As poorly as Huff played last season, there's still plenty to like in his history, and his pass rush win rate remained solid despite his struggles. "Though that shows Huff slowing down, it's still a better-than-average get-off for an edge rusher." The best part of the deal for the 49ers is the cost financially. Huff had restructured his contract with Philly to make this work, allowing San Francisco to just under $8 million for the year. Philadelphia is stuck paying more, but the restructure is much more beneficial than being responsible for his three-year, $51.1 million contract without the player. The Eagles benefit as they get to unload a player who did not meet on-field expectations last season and be rewarded with a high Day 3 draft pick. Advertisement "From 2020 to 2022, Huff recorded a 26% pass rush win rate at edge -- a top-10 number at the position had he qualified ..." Walder continued about Huff's 10-sack season that earned him that contract ahead of last year. "His win rate fell to a career-low 19% (which is still higher than average), but the sacks weren't there (2.5) and his playing time dipped before he missed time in the second half of the season to have wrist surgery." The Eagles still have a loaded roster and this departure shouldn't do too much to their pass rush depth with them bringing back a collection of formidable pieces in Nolan Smith Jr., Azeez Ojulari and Joshua Uche. Plus, Philadelphia gets to save a bit of cap space by shipping off some of Huff's contract. Everything seems even right now, but that's the funny thing about grading trades with over three months until the season starts. Things can happen one way or another to cause drastic reconsideration for the true winner here. Advertisement The Niners are banking on reuniting Huff with defensive coordinator Robert Saleh (his head coach during his career-year with the New York Jets in 2023) will pay major dividends.

Bills Second-Year Receiver Demanding Greatness
Bills Second-Year Receiver Demanding Greatness originally appeared on Athlon Sports. No matter what Keon Coleman does in his NFL career, he will always be seen as the player the Buffalo Bills traded back for to allow the Kansas City Chiefs to draft Xavier Worthy in the 2024 draft. Advertisement The only way that those talks and comparisons end, is if Coleman ends up being a star in his own right. And that is precisely what the Florida State product is working to be. 'I demand greatness from myself, and I love to know my coaches demand the same amount of greatness, and we're on the same page about it," Coleman said via Dom Tibbetts of WKBW. Coleman was not bad in his first season in Buffalo. He recorded an impressive 19.2 yard-per-reception average. That was one of the largest in the NFL last season. Despite his obvious deep-threat abilities, Coleman caught just 29 passes while battling multiple injuries. Advertisement If Buffalo is going to take a jump as a Super Bowl contender, they will need their second-year receiver to reach a new level of his game that he hasn't shown yet. Part of that will be focused on staying healthy. Coleman missed four games due to injuries last year. The other part, though, is with his consistency. The 22-year-old needs to be more consistent with catching the football (7% drop rate), and finding ways to get open. Coleman has all the tools to be successful with the Bills. It will be up to him, though, to see just how good he can be. And from his comments this week, it's clear that Coleman knows exactly what he needs to do.

Philadelphia Eagles urged to trade for All-Pro pass-rusher
As the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles may not feel a strong sense of urgency to swing for the fences. Then again, the chance to repeat as champions could be just the exact type of motivating factor general manager Howie Roseman needs to execute his latest blockbuster trade. Specifically, analyst and former NFL general manager Marc Ross would like to see the Eagles swing a trade for Cincinnati Bengals All-Pro sack artist Trey Hendrickson. 'The Eagles dominated the Chiefs in the Super Bowl with a relentless pass rush, but Philadelphia has questions on that front heading into the 2025 campaign, given the loss of Josh Sweat, Nolan Smith's injury and the inherent need for young guys like Moro Ojomo (2023 seventh-round pick) and Jalyx Hunt (2024 third-rounder) to level up. General manager Howie Roseman hit big on the trade for wide receiver A.J. Brown in 2022. Trading for Hendrickson, who's in a contract standoff with the Bengals, could provide a similar effect for the defense. Plus, the Eagles just cleared more cap space by dealing Huff. This would be a case of the rich getting richer — and a move I wouldn't put past Philly. ' on Eagles trading for Trey Hendrickson Advertisement As noted, the Eagles interestingly did just part ways with Bryce Huff, who was expected to see regular snaps on gameday. That move not only opened up a few more snaps for others, it also cleared more cap space. In other words, the Eagles could certainly look to reinforce their pass-rush with the NFL's reigning sack leader. Though, in addition to paying whatever price the Bengals are seeking, which may be roughly a second-round pick, Philadelphia will still have to come to terms on a contract extension for the four-time Pro Bowler. Hendrickson is currently set to make $21 million this season in the final year of his contract. Yet, after recording an NFL-high 17.5 sacks, Hendrickson should be able to command at least $30 million per season. He may even creep closer to the $40 million annual salary Myles Garrett is earning from the Cleveland Browns. Is that a price the Eagles are willing to pay? If it means strengthening their Super Bowl odds, Roseman could be ready to pay the price. Advertisement Related: 5 best Trey Hendrickson trade landing spots from Cincinnati Bengals Related Headlines
