Kirk Kelly who is the founder of Greater Philadelphia Severe Weather joined Diehard Philadelphia Eagles fans from the “ Bleeding Green Las Vegas group” on Las Vegas Blvd for a group photo in front of the famous Welcome to Las Vegas Sign. 

A group of about 40 birds fans showed up decked head to toe in all shades of Green. Folks I’ve talked to were from all areas of the Delaware valley including Siuth Philly, Montco, and of course Bucks County that have since relocated to Vegas. We are pumped and ready for next week’s Super Bowl said one youngester. As folks were in line everyone was talking about favorite Philly sports places to watch and party for the game and sharing stories from where we were all from!
