I don’t understand what this bar is the 340+ days of the year the chiefs don’t play. I guess it’s just a regular bar but what Philadelphians frequent a place like this on the non football days?

I live nearby. It's a typical South Philly old man dive bar. A guy on my block in his late 50s is a regular. He's South Philly born and raised usually wearing Chiefs gear. It's all South Philly guys from the neighborhood who've been going here for decades and are all Chiefs fans because of this bar. Their only connection to the Chiefs is the bar. They root for all other Philly teams. It's like an odd little social club.

Oddly enough, my cousin is a life long chiefs fan. He’s from Bensalem. Not sure why he’s a KC fan. He’s kind of always been. So I guess that just happens with some people.

I think this is common. I live in Sacramento and there's as Eagles bar that I go to sometimes but I've never actually met anyone from Philly there. I think the owner is from Jersey, but everyone else has some random story about how they ended up as an Eagles fan.

The Baltimore Eagles bar (Magerks) is a cool place for Eagles fans to hang generally. But during non game times, I have seen a good amount of Ravens fans. So yeah, just a bar. No idea about Kansas City MLB or NHL, but Magerks plays all Philly games so it’s busy enough.

I’ve been to the green parrot in Fort Lauderdale for an eagles game and always wondered what the place was like on non eagles days, weeks, months.

A friend of mine said that his friend owns a bar in center city and a couple of browns fans asked if they could make it a browns bar for football games. He said yea and apparently there’s a browns bar in center city now and it’s been great for his business. I guess that’s how it works. There are transplants just about everywhere, so…

Wow. Didn’t know that! That’s cool of them and it’s a win win.
