Just moved here this year. Live in Fishtown and commute over the Franklin every morning. Should I plan on taking the day of the parade off as well or will I be good?

Go birbs.

I’ll just call in sick from the top of a traffic pole.

I remember for the last win (and the ensuing party on Broad) feeling like I wouldn't be able to bike to work the next day. Thought it would just be broken bottles and shit everywhere. Boy was I wrong. Never seen the place so clean that morning. I'm sure somewhere on YouTube is the time lapse of the party and then the streets crew making it look like nothing happened.

I'm on a small team of about 7 and a few of us are in Philly, while our PM is a cowboys fan (from and lives in Dallas). He likes to plan ahead and polls us for any upcoming PTO for the next quarter, so early December he's asking for that and I mention the possibility of needing the Monday after SB off, as well as the Wednesday or Thursday that follows, depending on weather, in case the Birds win it all. He said to me, "I've never had to plan around winning the Superbowl before", with a little shimmer of a tear in his eye. I almost felt bad for him for a second there. GO BIRDS!

They did in 2017. In 2008 only schools along the parade route were canceled. The X factor is the superintendent is new this year, but IMO that makes it more likely they’d cancel (based on his public personality).

I really don't understand why the day after the Superbowl isn't a holiday. Either that or move the Superbowl to Saturday.

I started getting ahead of myself and pondering what day a Phillies parade might have fallen on in early November after they went up 2-1. But here I am doing it again. Then again, every year I always mentally pencil in a hypothetical February PTO day for a hypothetical parade.

Probably WFH on the 13th (no matter the outcome) and PTO for hypo parade day.

Just started as scrum master for a small SW team at the beginning of the year and we're supposed to do Sprint Planning that day... needless to say it's been moved.

I put my request in early November 2022.

Birds or not, it was always a party the night before.

...and that's how you Super Ball.

I might actually use PTO, so I don’t have to go into the office. I’m at 15th and Market!

I don’t think the route goes that way, but it might be safer to take the Betsy Ross into NJ, for a slightly longer commute, but an almost guarantee of no parade issues/traffic.

I am starting a new job and asked to start the 14th, lol. I'm going to Cincinnati and driving back here on the 12th to avoid getting pigeonholed into watching the superbowl with my ahole BIL... Lmao
