\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPhiladelphia is awash in green on Valentine\u2019s Day to celebrate its Super Bowl champions.Swooning fans screamed and cheered Friday as MVP quarterback Jalen Hurts and Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie took turns hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy at the start of the team’s victory parade through the City of Brotherly Love.Watch the parade in the video player above. WARNING: This live video may contain strong language Many fans camped out along the team\u2019s parade route overnight, huddling under blankets and inside tents to secure prime spots near the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where the Eagles will take the stage on the \u201cRocky\u201d steps.Others decked out in Eagles jerseys climbed trees and perched themselves atop ladders to get a glimpse of record-setting running back Saquon Barkley and Cooper DeJean, the rookie defensive back who ran an interception into the end zone on his 22nd birthday.Barkley, at one point, hopped off one of the open-air buses to walk along the parade route and exchange high-fives with fans.Fans showed up with grocery carts stocked with food and booze while a few stayed warm in a hotel, sipping champagne. One group roasted a pig with the number \u201c15\u201d carved into the side \u2014 a final shot at Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes.The Eagles, despite being underdogs, dominated the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, shutting them out in the first half before finishing with a 40-22 victory.Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker, who made an amusing gaffe when she mangled the spelling of the \u201cEagles\u201d as she led a chant last month, corrected herself earlier this week by calling them the \u201cN-F-L-C-H-A-M-P-I-O-N-S.\u201dShe and other city leaders implored the team\u2019s exuberant fans to stay safe and keep the mood festive for the Valentine\u2019s Day dinner crowd.\u201cDo not climb any light poles,\u201d the mayor said. \u201cIn the midst of all this beauty, all of the sacrifices this team has made to meet this moment, we don\u2019t want it to all go by the wayside.\u201dJust weeks ago, a college student died falling from a street pole after the Eagles’ won the NFC championship game. A year ago, a shooting at Kansas City’s Super Bowl victory rally left one person dead and nearly two dozen wounded.There was a large police presence along the Philadelphia parade route, which stretches from South Philadelphia where the Eagles play all the way to downtown’s City Hall and then onto the art museum.Dump trucks and heavy equipment blocked many of the side streets along the route.
