Philadelphia to throw Super Bowl parade

The Philadelphia Eagles players are preparing for one big victory parade with their fans after winning the Super Bowl.

The city of Philadelphia will host a victory parade on Thursday for the Eagles, who defeated the New England Patriots 41-33 on Sunday to capture the franchise's first Super Bowl championship.

The original plan was for the parade to be held on Wednesday, but the forecast predicts rain and snow throughout the day.

The outlook for Thursday looks much brighter with sunshine and a high of 32 degrees.

Fans in Philadelphia celebrated Sunday night and into Monday morning.

Philadelphia officials said there were some acts of vandalism, a gas station was looted and three arrests were made as tens of thousands of people converged on downtown.

"Oh man, Philly is crazy right now I bet," Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox said, via ESPN.

"The city probably won't sleep for a week. It's so exciting, I can't wait to be on that bus going down Broad Street and seeing the passion of these fans when we get back there."

City officials confirmed Thursday's parade will start at Broad and Pattison in south Philadelphia, then head north to the Art Museum.
