Super Bowl watch parties are selling out faster than people can spell E-G-L-S-E-S. McGillin's Olde Ale House tickets were snatched up in four minutes.
The big picture: Birds fans want a second championship parade — and to cement their legacy as the team that denied the Kansas City Chiefs a dynasty.
Don't F-R-E-T. For those who can't splurge on a trip to NOLA, Axios has the rundown of the best spots to watch the big game here.
The C6 tailgate crew is hosting a "Big Game Watch Party" at Two Robbers in Fishtown. All you can eat, plus an open bar, for $75; 2pm through the end of the game.
- There's limited availability, so book in advance.
- Co-founder Sean Holden tells us a C6 contingent is also hosting a tailgate party in N'awlins. Stay tuned to our newsletter for more details.
Xfinity Live! still has availability in its outdoor viewing area.
- 21+ event includes a pregame party, plenty of screens, food trucks and fire pits. Doors open 3pm. Tickets are $35.
- Pro tip: It's a rain-or-shine event, without access to the indoor venue, which is already sold out. "Rain, sleet or snow," as quarterback Jalen Hurts said, "the Eagles train to go."
Dolan's Bar in Ridley Park expects to be at capacity.
- It's catering Wolf's Superior Sandwiches, plus having raffles and swag giveaways, from 11am-2pm.
- No tickets are required. "Come one, come all," says owner PJ Dolan.
Puttshack, one of Philly's mini golf joints, is broadcasting the Super Bowl with sound.
- Plus, you can work on your short game between plays.
- The menu includes "Philadelphia Tailpipes" — roasted pork-filled spring rolls stuffed with provolone cheese and garlic grilled broccoli rabe ($14) and cheesesteak flatbread made with housemade Cheez Whiz, shaved roast beef, grilled onions and peppers.
- Large parties should book in advance.
The Hayes in Midtown Village will be hoppin', with multiple TVs (with sound) throughout the dining room and mahogany bar.
- There will be game day specials (The "Philly Special," with wagyu ribeye, $16), bar faves (crispy chicken wings, $15), and other handcrafted dishes from chef Tod Wentz.
- No jinx here, Philly fans: We made sure he's not related to former Eagles QB Carson Wentz.
Lincoln Financial Field is the epicenter of Birdom with FanFest, a big blowout bash featuring pregame entertainment and visits from Eagle alums, including Darren Sproles.
- Tickets are first-come, first-served. 4:30-10pm.

For those hosting watch parties at home, Cake Life Bake Shop in Fishtown — famous for baking Beyonce's B-day cakes — has a Jason Kelce-inspired Hungry Dogs offering: kielbasa sausages wrapped in buttery croissants.
