Don’t they do it for every team that gets in?

EDIT: Yes, they do. Every year. For every championship team and every winner lol

EDIT 2: Chiefs pics from last night here: https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/eagles-super-bowl-berth-celebrated-by-the-empire-state-building (scroll down)

Yeah but for NY fans, seeing Philly represented hits different.

I feel like they do it every year? Like this story is giving me some kind of deja vu

Just because that’s the way something is doesn’t mean you have to like it lol

They should have doubled down on pissing off giants’ fans. They should have said it had nothing to do with the eagles, they just decided the jets were the official football team of nyc.

Funny thing is they did double down. I saw a reply to it last night that went "it should've been you" lmao

That’s the sort of goblin energy I like to see out of iconic historic architecture

King Kong was just an Eagles fan who mistook the Empire State Building for a light pole. Had they had the foresight to grease it, he never would have climbed it.

I should cross post to TIL .

If they didn't want to see Philly things, they should stop moving here. /s because they do this for every team.

I appreciate both the gesture and the ire of the fans of the two New Jersey NFL teams.

I lived and worked in NYC for about a decade, and it's a well established fact that NYC, especially in Manhattan, are mostly transplants from another city. Giants play in New Jersey anyways. Go birds!

I would love if some backstory came out that the supe is from philly.

They celebrate when those NJ football teams win, too

hamdynasty t1_j6j1ot3 wrote

I don't get why you would celebrate a winning team that wasn't from your hometown.

NewLoseIt t1_j6jhzfn wrote

It’s because the building (and a lot of Manhattan) see themselves as representing “the US”, not NYC locals. Same reason why they light up with US President winners even if they’re massively unpopular in NYC.

The Super Bowl is a national event so they’ll celebrate whoever wins just like Qatar lit up their skyscrapers with Argentina even though Qatar did terribly

They do it for every team regardless of location. Surprisingly wholesome, really.

I fully agree w/ New Yorkers here. Can you imagine Billy Penn wearing a Giants or Jets jersey (put on by our city not the other team's fans)?

I'm guessing there's an Empire State Building worker who grew up in Philly. Or an ex-Empire State Building worker :)

There would be an arson attempt on city hall, and the jury would acquit.
