And the victories arent just coming on the field. What the teams postseason success means for the city and our entire region. Im jessica dean. And im ukee washington. The countdown is on when the eagles will have a chance for the big payback for the new England Patriots who as many of you remember beat them the last time they met in the super bowl. Don bell is here with what the birds are doing now that theyre about to play with truly the biggest stage in the sports world. Underdogs again, we think thats a good thing. It is a rematch, that time they played they lost by three points. Ive got a good feeling about this one. The super bowl is 13 days away. The biggest spec kal in american sports. All the crazy prop bets have already been released. How many times will donald trump tweet during the game. Will justin tim letter lake have a wardrobe malfunction. The eagles focus lies elsewhere. For the first time this season they appear to be peaking. I really mean the second time they scored 31 points against the best defense in football and only allowed 7. Heres Doug Pederson today. Just communicate and keep things on a rigid tight schedule and make sure the guys are focused on the job at hand. They even said it after the game last night in the locker room that theres a lot of Unfinished Business still to do and we still, theres one game left. One game left in the season and weve come this far and want to make sure that we stay focused and its got a great locker room as you guys know and trust my leaders of that team to get the job done. Finish the job. So important to finish the job. Its been a great season. One more step, forefour more quarters. The fact remember the stories came up after the last super bowl that they were stealing our signals . Weird things tend to happen when you play the patriots. After halftime they always seem to get a little better. Interesting. More to come. Now that the birds trip to the super bowl is official, fans are scrambling to get to minnesota no matter the cost. How much people will have to pay to cheer from the seats of u. S. Bank stadium. Reporter this is supposed to be the most expensive super bowl when it comes to tickets. I spoke to a broker tonight who has the name wanamaker in his business name. He has been buying and selling super bowl tickets like crazy today. Its been nothing but phones off the hook. Reporter welcome to wanamaker wanamaker entertainment group. Inside its all about those coveted pricey tickets. If you have the money you can get anything you want. Reporter he says the Company Currently has several hundred super bowl tickets for sale. Get in the building, were looking somewhere around 6. Reporter 6,000 a ticket to get in. If you want to cheer on the birds from the side line, thats about 30,000 a ticket. He expects to see the prices rise and maybe fall. Everybody is interested, everybody wants to go to the game, even though its in minnesota. Reporter while minneapolis is a beautiful city, no question about it. Its not atlanta, new orleans, miami when it comes to the weather. Some of the brokers believe that that cold weather may actually drive some of the ticket prices down over the next few weeks. Thanks so much. And if youre lucky enough to score one of those super bowl tickets, have you to figure out how to get to minneapolis. We checked flights leaving philadelphia saturday and returning monday. The cheapest ticket we found so far is a little more than 500. Groups like the green legion are offering super bowl travel packages which include a charter flight and a ticket to the game. That package will set you back about 6800 and the first charter is already sold out. If youre planning to hit the road, well, minneapolis is just over 1,100 miles away. Thats going to take you a little more than 18 hours to get there. And heres what youre going to find when do you get there. A snowy scene. Super bowl preparations continue in minnesota tonight despite the snow there. All kinds of hospitality and vip tents are going up. Attractions are being finalized for fans including free exhibits and security barriers are going up at u. S. Bank stadium where the game will be played in a climatecontrolled 72degree building. Here at home, eagles championship gear is flying off the shelves. The gear hit the shelves right after the eagles blew out the vikings last night and one of the fastest sellers right now might be nick foles number 9 jersey. What are the odds theyll be buying super bowl gear in two weeks. Right now the birds have a 35 chance of beating the patriots. Today we talked to frank farley of temple university. Hes the former president of the American Psychological association and he says the fact new england is predicted to win could actually negatively affect how they play. Being defeated by the underdog is exceptionally humiliating. So therefore that could have a big impact on them. It could make them nervous. He says another plus is being the underdog really helps motivate the eagles fan base. Philadelphia police say there were no incidents as 12,000 eagles fans charged into the intersection of frankford and cottman to celebrate the win. Police credit staffing. Septa reported no problems. Police arrested a total of six people including a man who allegedly punched a Pennsylvania State Police Corporal and his police horse. The eagles are of course part of a city drenched in history so some are affectionally referring to the birds as americas team. Is it enough to drum up tourism for the city of brotherly love and sisterly affection. Reporter historically a different franchise has been known as americas team, but after this weekend, some people are realizing that maybe that title has belonged to philadelphia all along. In 1776, philadelphians first solidified our status as the hopeful underdogs. From there we went on to prove victorious over a much more powerful and established entity. Hm. A good omen, perhaps . Since then the fighting spirit has never died down. Everybody knows that this eagles team is the bomb. The interception, it was phenomenal. Not only did the eagles secure a conference title this weekend, but we may have also taken a title away from of all teams, the dallas cowboys. Once known as americas team, social media has now gifted that nickname to the philadelphia eagles. Philadelphia has been americas team. The cowboys never had that in. Its a beloved way of looking at a city thats been here for a few hundred years. Reporter how might making it to the National Stage impact the future of this city . Tourism, for one. But according to visit philly, it could also add another push to amazons seattle headquarters that out of the 20 remaining cities vying to become their next campus, this is the place to expand. This is an even bigger way of reminding seattle that we are on the map. People are going to come to philadelphia more because its the greatest city. So why not. Exactly. Reporter and as patriotic as boston may be, take a look atop any flag and there sits the emblem of americas team. When you talk about philly versus boston, you have to bring it all the way back to our most famous resident, benjamin franklin. He was born in boston, but at 17 he moved here to philadelphia, placing his bets on philly instead. Ben knew what was up even back then.

Thanks to the mild stretch weve had over the past several days and weve had sunshine peek through the clouds and the clouds are still hanging around as showers are starting to push into central pennsylvania. This likely not going to get here until early tomorrow morning but its going to be a quickhitting and intense system that delivers some pretty steady rainfall and also the threat for a few gusty thunderstorms along this front. So heres the actual cold front right here blowing up with thunderstorms over portions of central ohio right now. Back to the west this storm has producing heavy snow all day up around minnesota, minneapolis and vikings fans stranded here in philadelphia cant get home because of the snow.

Theyve won five super bowls since 2002. Belichick is roundly considered the greatest coach of all time. Today Doug Pederson talked about the challenge ahead. I think everybody in the league sort of envies their success to some extent, and rightfully so. Theyve been there, done that many times. And thats something that every other team would love to have. You know, its impressive obviously and its well respected and well documented. But again, our guys have been resilient. Theyve been able to block that noise out and once the ball is teed up and kicked off, just trust our players, trust our schemes and play football. Eagles fans were at the linc nearly nine hours before kickoff. Once the game started they were out of their minds. They cheered from start to finish and mocked vikings fans with their own skol chant until they were saying foles. The players and coaches salute.
