In the wake of the Philadelphia Eagles' dominant performance over the Washington Commanders in the NFC championship game, Visit Philadelphia has launched a nostalgic and interactive fan engagement initiative called "Bird Call." Fans of the Super Bowl-bound Eagles are invited to leave voice messages for the team using a series of rotary phones set up across the city. This community rallying activity began today and will continue through tomorrow.
According to CBS News Philadelphia, these retro devices are stationed at emblematic locations like Dilworth Park and iconic eateries such as Pat's King of Steaks. Fans can also spot the phones at educational institutions like Temple University and the University of Pennsylvania. For diehards unable to pay a visit to these locations, a dedicated hotline, 267-352-4496, provides a virtual "Bird Call" experience. Additionally, a mobile phone, accompanied by a video crew is set to make rounds through Center City capturing fan fervor.
NBC Philadelphia reports that Visit Philadelphia aims to weave the best voice messages into their social media platforms to pump up the Eagles spirit leading to the February 9 clash against the Kansas City Chiefs at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. However, they request messages to remain family-friendly, noting they will choose some of their favorite bird calls to include in hype videos and social media posts leading up to the big game in New Orleans, as stated on their website.
Visit Philly's official site encourages fans to, "Sing, scream, cry, chant. We don't care! We want to hear you in all your Philly fan glory." Notably, fans should keep calls PG-rated if they hope for their tributes to be shared widely, as revealed by 6abc.
