What you need to know about the Eagles' Super Bowl parade
The Eagles will celebrate their second Super Bowl title on Friday in the streets of Philadelphia, the city confirmed early this week.
Eagles president Don Smolenski cited potential inclement weather as the primary reason behind the decision to wait four days after the team's return home from its 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs to hold the parade.

'Just watching the weather and we've got some snow coming this week, so we want to be respectful for the city to do what they need to do,' Smolenski told 94WIP Sports Radio on Monday. 'And one extra day of planning doesn't hurt. You know what, it's a nice way to kick off the weekend.'
Here's what fans need to know about the Valentine's Day parade.
Thought it was time to bring this one out again. See ya Friday 😏

The championship parade will begin at 11 a.m. ET, starting from the corner of Broad Street and Pattison Avenue within the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, home of the Eagles' Lincoln Financial Field.
Festivities are expected to conclude by 3:15 p.m. ET.
The approximate five-mile parade route will take on a similar look to the team's 2018 Super Bowl parade. It will first start down Broad Street, pass by City Hall, around Love Park before turning onto Ben Franklin Parkway and concluding at the famous 'Rocky' steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Eagles coaches, players and staffers, who will travel by open-air buses, are scheduled to arrive at the Museum of Art between 12:30 and 1 p.m. ET before the concluding ceremony begins at approximately 2 p.m. ET. Speeches and celebrations will wrap up around 3:15 p.m. ET.
City officials said Tuesday that 15 jumbotron monitors will also be placed along the route for easier viewing.
The U.S. National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory from 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday until 7 a.m. ET on Wednesday, with snow accumulations between 2-4 inches (some locally higher amounts) and slippery road conditions expected.
However, conditions for Friday look to be much improved with higher temperatures in the upper 30s, winds between 10-20 miles per hour and mostly sunny skies.

The School District of Philadelphia announced Tuesday that all district schools and administrative offices will be closed on Friday in observance of the victory parade and city-wide celebration. Friday's closure will also precede the Presidents' Day holiday on Monday.
'We also hope you enjoy the long weekend and we look forward to seeing our students and staff back at school, on Tuesday, February 18, 2025,' the district wrote on its website.
Similar to 2018, the city will close off the parking lots around the stadiums at the South Philadelphia Sports Complex. Commuters will need to find alternative options to park vehicles or consider taking public transit.
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) announced changes to accommodate the anticipated crowd of over one million people. Free rides will be available to fans on the Market-Frankford Line and Broad Street Line starting at approximately 5 a.m. ET on Friday, with service running every six to eight minutes.
Additionally, those looking to purchase a $10 one-day pass for SEPTA's Regional Rail can do so starting Wednesday, but passes must be purchased before Friday.
Philadelphia's Port Authority Transit Corporation (PATCO) lines have also made modifications with more than four times the usual daily passengers expected to travel from South Jersey to City Center on Friday.
'On parade day, from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m., PATCO will operate westbound-only service from four New Jersey stations, Lindenwold, Woodcrest, Ferry Avenue and City Hall, with nonstop service to 9/10th & Locust Street. Starting at 1 p.m., PATCO will transition to operating eastbound-only service from 9/10th & Locust Street. Normal service is expected to resume at 7 p.m,' the service wrote on its website.
