Despite early projections of anywhere between 2 and 4 million people, only 700,000 people turned out for the Eagles' parade Thursday, according to crowd science experts commissioned by Philly.com. Eagles fans are upset about the estimated size of their crowd, flooding social media and sports talk radio with conspiracy theories, fake news claims, and their own uneducated estimates. "A British company estimates 700,000 attended the Eagles parade?!" WIP host Angelo Cataldi tweeted. "Ha, ha. Here's my estimate: 3.2 million. I had a big advantage. I was there." While the city has yet to release an official number, crowd-safety experts at Manchester Metropolitan University in England came up with their total by studying aerial photographs of the five-mile parade route. For comparison, about 2 million Cavaliers fans packed the streets last year in Cleveland for their long-awaited parade, and an estimated 5 million came out for the Cubs' historic, slump-busting parade in 2016. |
DONT BELIEVE THE LYIN MEDIA
And who cares? If ten people came to a Giants parade I couldn't care less.
People are weird.
Yep.
Eagles fans are the dirt of the earth. Eagles have plenty of fans. Quantity was never the doubt, quality is.
Granted I’ve lived in a New York my whole life and went to both Giants parades and didn’t have a problem getting there.
Going home kinda sucked but I eventually got home
Jay, a small % of that 1.3 million were hospitalized due to alcohol poisoning.

Be it's nowhere near the size/scope of NYCs transit system. It works for what the city needs, but it's small in comparison to NYC and it can be overwhelmed. Philly qualifies as a "big city" but I think people often forget that it isn't much bigger than Queens, and has a million fewer people than Brooklyn.
We have a winner. Why would you want to go to a parade knowing that too many of your fellow Eagles' fans are going to put you in a position where you may need to defend yourself otherwise be put in a horrible situation...being around total assholes?
PERIOD.
Philadelphia is a great American city with a ton to offer. Why Giants fans continue to shit on it is beyond me. Grow up, people.
