George come back to me here for a second. Look at this. This is you stand like this and you feel warm. So the sun is shining on philadelphia today. And the football world will know how to put on a parade when the city shows how it is done. By the way, boston 3. 2 million when the Boston Red Sox finally won world series after decades, i think well beat boston 3. 2 million. What do you think, guys, back there . I think so. I hope so. I know so. It looks like so. What a great way to put it. The sun is shining on the city therefore sure. And just think about the contrast compared to yesterday it was dark, cloudy, rainy. And then here comes the sun. Here we are. You can see everything. You just described the eagles season, well, for 58 years, it was cloudy, it was rainy, and then we won it all. Look at that shot alex holley thats amazing. Yes, thats from skyfox. Wow. Look at all of those people were still little over two hours before the parade starts in south philly. So theyve got to wait another hour and a half before they see the buses. But they have entertainment , though, because theyre warning the super bowl play over again. We cant see that enough. Im sure theyll be occupied and entertained until it is time to start. You are running out of time get to the train. Get to the bus. Somehow you got to get to 6 in,r darby thats where jenny joyce is. Reporter hey, guys, live herere transportation center, me with all of my friends cheers reporter eagles fans cheers . Reporter okay, so, i want to talk to you, talk to a few of the y fans.

Not at all. So should we check in with bill . Yes lets do it. Reporter i want to tell you Something Real quick. As you continue to see the steady flow of people coming in, weve done the electric slide, weve shown jerseys, weve done eagles chants. One thing that we havent done at all is complain. Because there are not delays. Theyre manage to go get this entire crowd in. Theyre getting into the city. Theyre moving smoothly. So were getting a chance to have some fun. Mikey thought you would actually get a kick out of this. I was talking to these young laid ills, you told me what did you tell me . I was waiting my whole life only 19 years but philly deserves it. Struggling your entire 19 years waiting for a championship. Reporter why was it important . Why did you guys need to get down to thearade. Because we needed it, history. Once in a lifetime. Making history right now. True. We came out on top. Nobody was speccing it. Downed dogs if you dont think we deserve this she want the mike. All right reporter guys, it is moving, thank you, she struggled for 19 whole years waiting for a championship. Everybody is making their way in. The crowd continues. Yo, 69th street says that theyre more hyped than us . s going on withhat . Whats going on with that . Now hes trying to get them riled up. Reporter sorry, guys, we send it back to you. So everybody will be focused, well, probably around noon, 12 15, on the art museum steps. Because thats where the ceremony will be, get rdy for that that starts at 1 00. Seeing all of the festivities, surprises, so Kristen Rodgers there now with the anticipation thats building. Hey, kristen . Reporter mike, alex, the fans are getting pretty wrought nay good way. I feel like i should be doing sign line report. Everyone is glued in watching the replay of super bowl lii right now. We have about four minute left in the first half. Which means that the phillies i special is coming our way. Fun fact about the philly special. We a chance to talk with the eagles and Doug Pederson yesterday. But after Doug Pederson decided to go for it on fourth and one, it was nick foles who called the philly special. The Doug Pederson had to hesitate for a second just to wrap his mind around it, and he said lets go for t now nick foles technically said philly philly. Doug pederson said philly fill ill dill ill dilly fill ill special, call it whatever you want, this team knows what was coming its way. So interesting, because you had corey clement, un drafted free agent rookie quarterback, who took this and gave it to tray burton, third strike tightends, very talented, then quote unquote back up quarterback in nick foles it, really just exemplifies what this team has done. Theyre not a team of superstars. Theyre just brotherhood that has bought in and knows how to play well together. And in case in point, we got the philly special out of it, arguably the greatest play in eagles history. So ive been seeing some great fans around here. Some great costumes from jason kelce, and chris long, and i know these fans are so excited to see everything come to life here at the rocky stems and the art museum later today, guys. Great job, kristen, and we will check back with you, she is right about chris long, talk about long coat. Did you see what hes wearing . When i saw it, my mouth dropped. Wow. We will find it for you and put put on the screen. See who is here, sheila, city representative. Thank you for coming in. How are you. Lifelong south philly woman. Absolutely. Were you a fan of all four teams . I am the biggest fan of every sport in the city every philadelphia. Including your philadelphia eagles. Including our super bowl champion philadelphia eagles, the first time we get to say that in the history. Thats true. Have you ever thrown a party this big . I mean, in your personal life, say . Well, me and my closest 3 million friends, right, who are going to join us here today. And i cannot fathom the energy and the excitement as we watch it here. Just what it will be like today. Give it a grade . Give it a the grade so far, everything we do is a a. Oh, listen to you. E be aplus. Oh, so much work had gone kw about . So much work, but the challenge in part is so m of time. So if we, like the pope, we had a year to this was days to plan. So talk aboutmany people comingo collaborate, to give it the best. We have dividuals in the city of philadelphia who know how to throw a party. And who know how to mw what . I think maybe the experience of the pope coming, thehe nfl d the draft, especially, because this looks like t yes, yes. Well, a mini version of it, so that helped, dont we have like that templet now to put in place. And, you know, the security con. But today, it will be a different feel than in the past, because today it is like families, and the grand parent who have been watching these eagles forever, that are so excited to be here. And theyre going to be part of another first for the city of philadelphia making history you know one of the nicest things ive seen, people pinning pictures of their loved once who passed. Yes, because of them, theyre doing this for them. So they take it to the parade with them, their pictures. And our city getting so much attention nationally about what we are doing. So social media is blowing up of photo opportunities, and this is just something that we cant pay marketing to do for us. Never thought you would see 3 million. Im positive thinker, i did, but i didnt think in 2018, that quick, so in my two years in the administration under mayor kenneys leadership weve had villanova championship, were had the eagles super bowl. I love saying it. Dont you ever quit. We need you. So we have away more to come. Sixers next. Sixers next. Flyers, phillies, lets do it. Were red. I thank you see you on the parkway. Were red. I what road isnt clogged, bob . One thi they did learn from the phillies parade is that it the roped off, using ropes on the sidewalk didnt work. So they got the whole parade route lined up with the metal barriers. And here is a live look at broad and pattison, where it is all going to get kicked off , the bus also pull out of nova care, right here, make a left up broad street. There is the ballpark in the background. But pretty much the entire parade route now in shutdown. Folks still trying to get over the platt bridge, coming in toward south philadelphia. They have the ramps to and from i95. Blocked exiting at broad. Still a heavy flow of folks trying to get in on the schuylkill expressway. Good luck with, that because there is no access at all to Spring Garden street, or that parade area. There is another cool shot. Look, more . More people walking across the benny than cars, the patco highspeed line, also doing good job, can coming in in new jersey that train there empty headed into new jersey, theyre just running all inbound to philly service all morning long, look at this. This is the ben franklin parkway, right above the vine st. Expressway. Just an unbelievable site, and you can see, theyre playing the super bowl over again for all of the fans, that are standing there, because you mention, it doesnt start until 11 00 in south philly. I bet you it doesnt hit the parkway until noon. So they have another two hours and 45 minutes before they even see anything. Here is a live look at the ben franklin parkway, right in front of the franklin institute. So the closures are in place. Were ready to go. Back to you guys. Bob, did you think you would ever see this . Youve lived here your whole life. No, you know, ive been a part of the flyers parade, skipped school for that one, been a part of both phillies parades, been a part of the sixers, and of course the villanova parade. And we talked about the other day, villanova parade was like lets do it because we need a parade. This is unbelievable. I agree with steve. I think we will surpass the 3 million. I couldnt believe how many people were out this morning at 4 30, 5 00 when we went on the air. Look at this, from skyfox unbelievable. Thats the steps there. What kind of hovering over the schuylkill river, and there is the steps of the art museum. That whole area, right in front of the steps, just packed. Stacked and packed. Stacked and packed is right and by the way, for everybody coming across the bridge, bob just showed, theyre stopping by here at fourth and market, their first stop on the way to the parkway, and south broad. Karen . Reporter yes, they are. Look at the crowd. We already have back here, getting our faces painted. We brought all kind of blanket you can hear the horns, we got people in the busses. cheers . Still got that mike issue out there. So much excitement in the air that our microphones cant handle it hold on. Screaming and chanting. You ask for the chris long picture. What do you wear to victory parade. Well, you will be outside for pretty much all day. Look at. That will thats not even the full thing. If you can see it on your phones it, goings all the way down to his feet. Well, his last name is long wouldnt have you a long coat . I love how hes going with the iverson jerry . Thats great. Im not wearing eagles, im going for iver on. Thats a dude, though. You got to hang with him. This is two, backtoback for him. He knows how to do a super bowl parade. The parade up there in boston was big, ya, ya, but he expected a bigger way here because were so hungry. Right. You know the people in boston, i hate to bring this up, theyve had a championship in all four major sports in the lasts ten, 15 years were why why bring this up now . Because were going to beat them. People are getting he can excited here. Are we checking back with karen . Is she all right . Can we get that camera over there . Would that be possible. Where are we going, to jen . So go to the start of the parade where things will kick off very soon in less than two hours. Reporter hey, guys, he get the awards. He has his ski pant on, his ski boots, and his hot cocoa. My man. Very nice. Come on back, were at broad and pattison waiting for everything to happen. Okay, checking back outside look at everybody. Theyre pumped at the fox stop theyre showing the super bowl. We think the well watch for you. The parkway is pack. What to do to pass the time, theyre showing the super bowl t looks like theyre right at the point of the phillies special. Here we go. Is this . Fourth and goal. No. This is it. This is it. Hes pretending to check off. He goes down to lane johnson. Here it is. Tray burton there . Listen. Lets hear people. Oh no . Of course you can tell, theyre cheering, hopping up and down, what a great moment that was. Oh, it is one that people are going to remember for a very long time. The philly special. Kind of cool watch was the reaction there, kristen . I dont think kristen is telling me what the reaction is. Go ahead. Reporter hey, guys, yes, sorry, back here over, as you just saw, the philly special going on here, outside of the art museum. And definately the loudest crowd, a lot of cheering we heard from the crowd so far this morning. Will one had their phones up to get the reaction. This will go down in philadelphia sport history. As i said earlier, so representative of this eagles team, even more so representative of Doug Pedersons close relationship with nick foles, they both have been back up quarterbacks Doug Pederson knows what nick foles has gone through to take over forecaster on wentz. He can appreciate that, this is just really great group of quarterbacks working in that room together with, with carson wentz, that ultimately, can come up with the philly special. Now, the philly special did come from the 2016 chicago bears, came over with alshon jeffrey, now it has a new name , philly philly dilly dilly philly special. The crowd going bananas, because eagles apparently have the lead going into the half. Who knew . Thank you, alshon for that play, and thank you, Kristen Rodgers, for watching it again. Thats right. Thats great. Okay, lets getaracade. Jenn fred, you have an hour and a half to get these people ready. Lets know chris oconnell. I love him. You know there is a better oconnell, right here, whats up . Number one, brother, right here. Right there. Yes. You should have been on tv your whole life instead of him i know, i got the looks, i got the comedy, i got the who
