I’m sure I’ll pick you out in the crowd of 1 Million plus on the streets based on the information you have put out there, lol.
We usually make 2 trips east a year, to Philly to see friends and my spouse has family there and get some play in at some of the Pa casinos, that have those really good BJ rules. But I want no part of winter so we plan our trips for Thanksgiving and sometime in April or May. This past year we went over thanksgiving and got to attend an Eagles game (blowout win vs Chicago).
Eagles and Villanova basketball are my two sports loves. Phillies third, but a distant third. Two years ago when Nova won college basketball national championship, I contemplated an extra trip, but that was first week in April and we had a trip planned end of April. Didn't make sense, plus the Villanova parade in Center city isn't that big, being Nova is really outside the city.
BUT an Eagles Superbowl parade, that is something I will not miss. And you know I moved to Phila after graduating high school in 2001, so I have only been a Philly sports fanatic for 17 years. My spouse is in his mid 50's. He grew up and lived in Phila his whole life until he moved to Vegas in 2011. He has been waiting for an Eagles Superbowl Parade for 50 years. No way in hell I would deny him that. We will be there....IF.
