Eagles fans will congregate at the Chickie’s and Pete’s parking lot in South Philly (1528 Packer Ave.) just after noon on Friday for an opportunity to express their true feelings toward the New York Giants, their opponents in Sunday’s playoff game.
A station wagon, pained in Giants’ colors and bearing the team’s logo will meet the fate that Eagles fans are hoping the actual team will see Sunday afternoon—it’ll be crushed to pieces by a bunch of guys wearing green.
Only, uh, these guys in green will be Eagles fans, and they’ll be using sledgehammers for the crushing.
After the demolition, the vehicle will be taken to the Wachovia Spectrum, where it will take on a starring role in February’s Monster Jam monster truck show—trucks weighing at least 10,000 pounds will crush it even further.
Anyone can participate; just show up. The Eagles fan with the best sledgehammer smash Friday will win tickets to one of the Monster Jam shows, which run from February 13 through 15.
