    Stay home, better to enjoy around friends and family. Also want to be within 50 miles of Philly when they win so its party time.

      Do you want to celebrate at a sterile corporate environment or be with a bunch of people that have been through the highs and lows that come with being a Eagles fan? Easy decision for me.

Too many disinterested douchebags, and the overall atmosphere had a fake, ad-driven veneer about it.

        What made the trip for me was the time leading up to the game, and being able to enjoy a trip with fairly nice weather, excited fans, and lots of hype. I keep trying to imagine what it would be like having everybody crammed indoors in potentially freezing conditions, and it just doesn't sound like fun. And I'm sorry...but I can't say that money isn't a factor. To me, other than watching the game, there isn't a lot of value in going to Minneapolis.
        I guess one factor is that we are 4ish hours from Philly. The weekend hangout would be great if the Gayte crew could unite somewhere...

          I would stay in Philly

          ....stay close with the die hard fans where it all began.


          Broad St will be a historical scene should the Chicken allow.

            Jacksonville sucked. It would have been better with a win (obviously), but it's nowhere near a fan experience. And Minneapolis/ February? Um. NO.

                another good question is whether it's more important to watch the game in philly, or be at the parade. i opt for the game in philly and then the ensuing madness.

                        do you stay in Philly? hang with friends, hope for the greatest night on Broad st in your lifetime.

                        or do you fly to Minnesota? see the game, go to sb parties, hope to be there for the first SB in franchise history.

                        tough call.
                        It's an interesting question. The city's going to be amazing if they win, of course, and that would be a night to remember for sure. I think if you have tickets in hand for the SB, you gotta go, though. Be one of the good fans that actually supports the team. Maybe get a chance to congratulate the players after the game. There's gotta be some amazing post-SB parties, too. And then fly back in time for the parade, and tell everyone your best Super Bowl stories.

                                John Erlichman, one of President Richard Nixon's closest aides, has admitted America's "War on Drugs" was a hoax designed to vilify and disrupt "the antiwar left and black people" when it was launched in 1971.
