Philadelphia, PA – The Eagles’ Super Bowl parade on Friday was a special moment for many fans, including Jasin Hoffman, who had been incarcerated since the team’s first Super Bowl win in 2018. Now out of prison, Hoffman watched the game with his family and attended the parade with his son, an experience he described as “very big deal” for him.
Hoffman was one of over a million fans who gathered to celebrate the team’s victory, sharing stories of why this moment was significant to them. For Jen Palka, it was spending time with friends and family, while Ressy, who immigrated to the US in 2018, had become a die-hard Eagles fan.
The parade saw a range of reactions, from excitement to celebration, as fans chanted for their favorite players and sang along to the team’s victory chants. Despite the cold and windy weather, most fans were determined to have fun, with one fan, Allan Barnes, saying “My body is producing a toxic amount of endorphins right now – it’s awesome.”
The parade marked a momentous occasion for the Eagles’ fans, who had waited years for this moment. As Eagles general manager Howie Roseman and rookie cornerback Cooper DeJean took to the stage, fans welcomed them with cheers and chants. For many, the parade was a chance to create new memories with friends and family, and experience the joy of being part of a massive “million person block party.”
