It’s been more than 50 years now since Philadelphia Eagles fans have been able to celebrate a title. The last time the team won a championship was way back in 1960, which was almost a decade before the first Super Bowl was held.

So, when the Eagles players, coaches, and staff roll through Philly on Thursday as part of the team’s Super Bowl parade, Eagles fans are expected to let loose. There are going to be millions of them crowding the city's streets to get a glimpse of their favorite team.

The first Eagles fans started showing up for the parade on Thursday before 3 a.m.:

A lot of them decided to get the party started early by cracking open beers and firing up karaoke machines:

In case there’s any doubt, which there shouldn’t be at this point, people are definitely drinking while waiting for the #eaglesparade. I literally saw people with Miller Lite cans at 5 a.m. #phillyphilly

By around 8 a.m., all of the good spots along the parade route started to fill up, which led to some fans taking drastic measures to get a better view:

#EaglesParade scanner traffic:

8:41 a.m.: You said Broad and Ritner on top of the church, there’s 15 people?
8:42 a.m.: That’s the church. That’s the minister from the church.
8:44 a.m. Tell that minister to get them off that roof there.

Before things got too packed, one fan took the time to scatter his grandfather’s ashes along the parade route:

There were also some Eagles fans who went a little too hard in the early morning hours:

Just saw the first, of unfortunately the many I will see today, of #drunken #Faceplants. This girl went down hard and was sort of just picked up bleeding and dragged by her obviously loving boyfriend to make sure they didn’t get a bad spot at the parade. #EaglesParade 8:45 A.M.

And this was all before the parade even started. Can you even imagine what else is going to happen?
