Eagles fans are ready for Sunday’s game with snow expected

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) – – The Philadelphia Eagles will host the LA Rams on Sunday at home.

“Feel good, feel good for another Super Bowl, let’s go,” said Scott Bouwer, of Wilmington, Delaware.

Although there is a potential for several inches of snow in the forecast, fans say they are prepared for whatever the weather may be.

“It’s my first game in the snow, we’ve been up a number of times to watch the Eagles play, I’m sure it’s going to be freezing, but I think with the crowd is the energy, and then just having all my layers I’ll be fine,” said Carla Katz of Orlando, Florida, adding, “I’ve got a heated vest, I’ve got hand warmers, layers and a fun tailgate planned.

Inside the Reading Terminal Market we found many people stocking up on game day food.

“They load up on desserts, cookies, candy, and everyone always wants cheesesteaks,” said Cheryl Jones of Sweet Nina’s. Sellers says attendance was steady ahead of gameday. “It’s a good nonstop, it’s a lot of people coming through the market, but it’s hectic, it’s a lot of work,” Jones said. Many who shop in Reading Terminal say they plan to spend the snowy day inside, watching the birds soar to victory while enjoying their favorite snacks. “Chicken, steak crab, anything, everything,” said Avery Bryant of Burlington County, New Jersey, adding, “It’s always important, it’s nutrition, you don’t have to leave the house, it’s always good.”

Outside, street vendors say the snow will not stop their sales.

“I take precautions, I can bring some clear plastic, otherwise, bird fans snow or not, it can rain if they want what they want, and when the buzz is in the air, you want something that’s green,” said Sekou Davis, a street vendor.

Fans are sure the Birds will win! The game kicks off at 3pm on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.
