Philadelphia Eagles Fan Proposes on Broad Street After Super Bowl Victory
Like Philadelphia Eagles players and its front office, one lucky fan also secured a very special ring on Sunday, February 4, following the team’s Super Bowl victory.
With the team’s historic win, thousands of fans subsequently filtered out onto Broad Street, the famed Philly route that runs all the way from North to South Philadelphia. One particularly ecstatic and emotional couple joined the masses to celebrate in the cold, and participate in what will likely be remembered as one of the most memorable nights in their lives.
Bystanders captured footage of the man, whose identity remains a mystery, dropping down to one knee while his girlfriend holds a 40 oz. of beer. Bystanders direct their attention to the pair as he asks her to marry him, and she nods in return. She then jumps up and down as she flashes her brand new ring to cheering spectators, and the newly engaged pair embraces as friends eventually join in.
Meanwhile, the revelry continued well past midnight in the town, which experienced its first-ever Super Bowl victory on Sunday.
