I don't understand what's being reported on. Are they saying Eagles fans purposely bought out all the tickets in order to start trouble and/or suppress Chiefs fans' celebrations?

I’m glad it’s not just me. I have no idea what the takeaway is here.

The takeaway is that they made this up or are just blowing stuff out of proportion to get their name out there and it worked.

after 18 years downtown, including 8 years off East Passyunk as it became what it is now. if I need to further my South Philly bona fides, my grandfather had a diner on the land on Front/Oregon where Tony Luke's now sits. I know what I'm talking about...

Yeah I’m a little confused too, I hadn’t heard of this bar until last weeks when they started getting publicity for being a bar in Philly that was a place for someone who doesn’t root for the eagles to watch games. Isn’t it possible that a bump in interest in the bar was mostly from people who wanted to watch the game and either support the chief’s or support a different team entirely and just don’t want to be surrounded by eagles fans that day?

Wasn’t getting a bump in patronage exactly why they started promoting their bar the last few weeks? Maybe this article is leaving out key details to why the ticket sales/requests seemed nefarious.

Anyway I hope no one has threatened these folks or done anything nefarious and they are just being paranoid/ extra cautious.

Anyway, go birds.

They got an Emmy for that festure. They keep it behind the bar.

My guess is they got inundated with reservations and then PD told them to maybe keep it quiet in case the Eagles lose. I know it's a dive, but I wouldn't want to be a Chiefs bar if we somehow lose this one.

From the prices l've looked at $25 is super cheap considering they're also providing food. Places l've looked at start at $50 for jist the entrance and many bars in the city are setting $60-70 minimum per person if they want to watch at a bar.
