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.
