ORLANDO, Fla. — Deep in the heart of Orlando, there’s a bar where the cheesesteaks sizzle, the green lights glow, and the sound of “E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES!” echoed through the air.

Sunday, The Wing Shack in Orlando, the ultimate Philly stronghold in Florida, held one of the biggest Super Bowl parties hosted by the Orlando Eagles Fan Club.
Like every game the Eagles play, The Wing Shack transforms into a high-energy, midnight-green paradise where the Philly faithful can unite, chant, and relive the glory of the birds.
“Everybody here is originally from Philly in some way; somehow, I connected to Philly,” said Shaun Casey, the Founder of the Orlando Eagles Fan Club.

Every inch of the bar bled Eagles pride—wall-to-wall memorabilia, Philly street signs, and even a mini Liberty Bell ready to be rung after every touchdown.
The kitchen cranked out Philly cheesesteaks while the DJ blasted Meek Mill’s “Dreams and Nightmares” to keep the energy pumping.
“It just makes you feel warm inside. I love being here. It’s actually better than watching the gams at home in Philly,” said Barbara Darcy, Orlando Eagles Fan Club.

The Eagles faced the Kansas City Chiefs for Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. This Super Bowl is a rematch of the big game from two years ago, where the Chiefs beat the Eagles, 38-35, late in the fourth quarter.
“I kept on telling everybody, we’re going to the Super Bowl. We went to the 17 sledger. We went to the playoffs, and here I am standing after all these doubters said Tony, you’re not going. We’re going to the Superbowl. I’m here,” said Tony Lazada, Orlando Eagles Fan Club.
Throughout the night, Orlando Eagles held raffles, danced, ate a three-tier Eagles Super Bowl cake, and cheered on the birds.
“Even though I’m not at the Super Bowl, I’d almost rather be here with two, three, four hundred of our fans,” said Shaun Casey, Founder of the Orlando Eagles Fan Club.
