Officially called the NFC Championship Center City Traffic Box, the restricted area was the size of more than 400 football fields.
Just five years after their first Lombardi Trophy, the Eagles are headed back to the Super Bowl — and Philly is popping off.
The party started early, because this was no nail-biter. The outcome was obvious by the time the fourth quarter started, if not before, as Jalen Hurts and the stellar team put together by football “magician” Howie Roseman demolished the San Francisco 49ers, whose luck just ran out.
City officials are well aware of Philly fans’ passion, and that’s why they blocked off nearly one square mile around City Hall with Broad Street and its greased up poles at the center.
Dubbed the Eagles NFC Championship Center City Traffic Box by the Office of Emergency Management, which activated its command center just after kickoff, the area where cars are temporarily not allowed runs from 8th to 20th Street and Lombard to Race.
