Go Birds: What to Do and Where to Be When the Eagles Take On the Patriots this Super Bowl Sunday

You didn’t need to see last week’s game to know that the Philadelphia Eagles are going to the Super Bowl this year. Our city and its residents are standing just a little taller as we all prepare for the big game. Hopefully, the 52nd Super Bowl Championship will be a historic game for “the birds”. This is only the third time the Eagles have made it this far in the league and if they win it would be a first for the team. Still, that less than noteworthy track record hasn’t stunted the pride of Eagles fans and Philly has some of the most well-known fans in the NFL (and not for being nice). What all this means is that Sunday’s game will be a Super Bowl celebration you won’t want to miss. With just a week to plan, we’d understand if you don’t know where you want to watch the game yet. We know residents of The Isle have fast-paced lifestyles so we did the work for you and made this extensive guide to Super Bowl Sunday 2018.
