NBC10's Pamela Osborne is at the Modell's Sporting Goods Store in Northeast Philadelphia catching up with fans who are among the first ones to get their hands on Eagles Super Bowl champion merchandise.

The Philadelphia Eagles are bringing the Lombardi Trophy back to Philadelphia Monday afternoon.

The team chartered an American Airlines plane and departed Minnesota around noon ET Monday.

[[472776723, C]]

The team will arrive back at Philadelphia International Airport after 2 p.m. ET, the Eagles and the airline confirmed to NBC10.

You will be able to watch the pomp and circumstance of their arrival live on this page.

As the team walks off the plane carrying the Super Bowl championship trophy, it will mark the first time the trophy belongs to the Eagles in Philadelphia.

If an anthem embodies the spirit of a time and place, then perhaps there is no better symbol of Philadelphia than Meek Mill. 

"Ain't this what they've been waiting for? You ready? I used to pray for times like this," his hit, "Dreams and Nightmares," starts.

While the Philly rapper remains behind bars, his music soared over the Eagles' historic Super Bowl win Sunday night and throughout their entire road to victory. 

"I had to grind like that to shine like this," the song continues.

"Dreams and Nightmares" first became a national sensation after the Eagles blared the unofficial anthem when they became the NFC Champions in January. 

And when they defeated the New England Patriots Sunday, the Eagles turned their locker room into a Meek Mill dance party:

Maybe it's the energy of that particular song that makes anyone within earshot get hyped when it plays.

Or maybe it's that Meek Mill, a Philadelphia native with a checkered past, is attempting to overcome his own underdog status within the criminal justice system.

Or maybe it's that something about his lyrics inspired the first Eagles team in history to win a Super Bowl. 

Maybe it's all those things. 

Whatever that special something might be, there is no denying that Meek Mill, at least symbolically, shared in the Eagles victory and helped get them there.

“It just gave us that juice," Malcolm Jenkins said after the Eagles danced  to "Dreams and Nightmares" when they beat the Vikings on Jan. 21. "I've never heard the Linc that loud since I've been here.”

Since then, streams of “Dreams and Nightmares” skyrocketed throughout the country, according to Amazon Music.

Average daily streams in Philadelphia increased twofold since January and daily streams of the track increased by nearly 1.5 times across the nation, Amazon Music said.

“It really lifted my spirit to hear the team rally around my songs because that’s why I make music — to inspire others and bring people together,” Mill told NBC10's John Clark from prison.

He added: "The Eagles have also motivated me with the way they've overcome tough situations and injuries to succeed this year. I'm so proud of my Eagles for making the Super Bowl and representing the city of Philadelphia. I'm confident my guys are going to beat the Patriots and bring the Super Bowl trophy to Philly.”

The 30-year-old rapper was sentenced to two to four years in prison last year for violating probation on a roughly decade-old gun and drug case.

His lawyers unsuccessfully appealed to the higher court and have also called for the judge to step aside because "there was an FBI investigation" into her conduct and Mill's case.

Philly.com reported last week that the judge has since secured her own lawyer and even threatened to sue the rapper.

All Philadelphia public and parochial schools will close for staff and students in honor of the Eagles parade Thursday.

The Upper Darby School District also announced campuses will close for the parade.

This includes both elementary and secondary schools.

“The excitement of the Eagles first Super Bowl victory is a once in a lifetime event. For this reason we have decided to give our students, teachers and their families the chance to witness history,” Philadelphia schools Superintendent Dr. William R. Hite said in a statement.

The parade will tentatively begin at 11 a.m. at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue in South Philadelphia, city officials said. It will head north on Broad to City Hall and then turn up the Benjamin Franklin Parkway ending at the "Rocky Steps" at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The Archdiocese cited concerns over street closures and gridlock in its statement, but also took a moment to congratulate its hometown team. 

"The Archdiocese of Philadelphia continues to extend its prayerful congratulations and best wishes to the Philadelphia Eagles on their historic victory in Super Bowl LII! Thank you for bringing the Lombardi Trophy home to the City of Brotherly Love!"

There will be several closures in Philadelphia Thursday due to the Eagles Super Bowl Championship parade. The parade will tentatively begin at 11 a.m. Thursday at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue in South Philadelphia, city officials said. Here are all of the closures for our area that have been reported so far. We’ll continue to update the list in the days ahead of Thursday’s parade.

Philadelphia Public Schools
All Philadelphia school district schools and administrative offices will be closed Thursday.

“The excitement of the Eagles first Super Bowl victory is a once in a lifetime event,” said Philadelphia School District Superintendent Dr. William R. Hite. “For this reason we have decided to give our students, teachers and their families the chance to witness history.”

Philadelphia Archdiocese Schools
All Archdiocesan high schools and parochial elementary schools throughout the five-county Archdiocese of Philadelphia will be closed Thursday.

Upper Darby School District
All Upper Darby School District schools and offices will be closed Thursday.

Philadelphia Courts
All courts and offices of the Philadelphia Courts will be closed. If you are scheduled for Jury Duty Thursday, do not report for service. You will be rescheduled for a later date. All critical court services are expected to remain operational.

Philadelphia Museum of Art
The Philadelphia Museum of Art, Ruth and Raymond G. Perelman Building and the Rodin Museum will be closed Thursday. All of the sites will reopen Friday with normal hours.

Philadelphia City Council Meeting
The regular stated meeting of Philadelphia City Council scheduled for Thursday has been canceled.

“I have never in my life been so excited to cancel a work meeting,” City Council President Darrell L. Clarke (5th District) said. “The Philadelphia Eagles’ historic victory last night was richly earned and deserved by players, team employees, and fans.”

The City of Philadelphia will honor the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles with a five mile-long parade that will be capped off with a huge celebration outside the iconic Philadelphia Museum of Art on Thursday.

Mayor Jim Kenney, Eagles president Don Smolenski, and several city leaders on Tuesday morning revealed new details about the event that logistically rivals major events like Pope Francis' visit and the annual Welcome America! July 4th Concert.

The parade, which could draw 1 million or more fans, will start at 10:45 a.m. at Lincoln Financial Field in South Philadelphia. A celebration at Eakins Oval on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway will start around 1 p.m. The entire event will end around 3 p.m.

"The parade is a chance for us to say thank you to Philadelphia for everything," Smolenski said.

Here's the full route:

• After the Eagles leave the Linc, they will officially kick off the parade at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue in South Philadelphia,
  
• The caravan will travel north on South Broad Street toward City Hall.
• Then, it'll make a left at South Penn Square, traveling along the west side of City Hall (which is typically against traffic.)
  
• Then, it'll make a left on JFK Boulevard, travel by LOVE Park and turn onto 16th Street
• Next, the parade will travel northwest along the Parkway toward the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
• The parade will end at the Art Museum where a rally will take place.

Parade organizers said the motorcade, which will feature open-air vehicles, will travel in the center of the roadway except when there is a median. Barricades will help with crowd control. The event will not be ticketed.

SEPTA will provide free rides along the Broad Street Subway and Market-Frankford El all day on Thursday, SEPTA board chairman Pasquale Deon said. Regional rail customers will have to purchase passes.

Independence Blue Cross is covering the cost of the free transit, Deon said.

(Full details on how to get to the parade using SEPTA here.)

SEPTA expects to carry 30,000 passengers an hour on the Broad Street subway during the event. In an effort to move fans across the city more quickly, only certain stations along the Broad Street and Market-Frankford lines will be open. Among the notable closures are the 11th Street, 15th Street, and City Hall stations.

The Walnut-Locust station may have rolling closures if passengers are unable to get up to the street because of sidewalk gridlock.

On the Broad Street line the following stations will be open: AT&T; Snyder; Ellsworth-Federal; Walnut-Locust; Race-Vine; Girard; Cecil B. Moore/Temple U.; North Philadelphia; Erie; Wyoming; Olney; and the Fern Rock Transportation Center.

On the Market-Frankford line the following stations will be open: 69th Street Transportation Center; 60th St.; 52nd St.; 46th St.; 40th St.; 30th St.; 13th St.; 8th St.; 2nd St.; Girard; Huntingdon; Alleghney; Erie-Torresdale; Arrot Transportation Center; and Frankford Transportation Center.

Regional rail lines will only operate in-bound trains on Thursday morning. In the afternoon, only outbound trains will run. A limited number of stations will be open as well.

Not everyone will be able to take the regional rail lines, however. You will not be able to buy fares on regional rail trains. Passengers who have Trailpasses and pre-purchased Senior and Reduced Fares can ride. SEPTA is also selling 50,000 1-day passes — called a Special Independence Day Pass. These can be purchased at SEPTA ticket counters ahead of Thursday.

Even with all the changes, SEPTA general manager Jeff Knueppel said the transit agency only has the capacity to serve one in four parade attendees.

"Be prepared for overcrowding," he said.

PATCO will also streamline service by closing stations in New Jersey and Philadelphia. Express Philadelphia service will operate between Lindenwold, Woodcrest, Ferry Avenue, and Broadway and the 9th/10th and Locust station. That service will last through 1:22 p.m. Thursday. At 1:30 p.m. trains will flip to eastbound service only.

Event producer Fred Stein, of The Creative Group, Inc., said there would be a number of surprises along the parade route. He declined to provide details about what would happen in the Art Museum celebration only saying "it will be dramatic, it will be wonderful, it will be fantastic."

A sound system and 14 jumbo television screens will be set up along the Parkway, Stein said, so that everyone who attends can see what's going on at the stage.

Forty food trucks will line the Parkway and 850 port-a-potties are being placed along the entire route. Streets along and near the route will close at 10 a.m. Thursday. Most should re-open by 6 p.m. Visitors are urged to use mass transit.

Officials have not speculated on the number of people who may attend the celebration, but past championship parades have drawn 1 to 2 million spectators. The Benjamin Franklin Parkway has a capacity to fit 3 million people.

The Flyers have long claimed more than 2 million fans went wild down Broad each year for the 1974 and 1975 Stanley Cup winning teams. Sixers fans mobbed the streets for Dr. J and the 1983 NBA champion 76ers. In 2008, an estimated 1 million Phillies fans packed downtown sidewalks celebrating their World Series win.

Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross said uniform and plainclothes officers will patrol the crowds to prevent disturbances. Bicycle and mounted police as well as tactical air support will also be seen during the event.

The department's Homeland Security Unit is visiting bars along and near the parade route leading up to Thursday asking that they serve customers drinks in plastic cups.

The city's Office of Emergency Management plans to send updates via text message to residents who sign up by texting ReadyEagles to 888777.

Thursday will be cold and breezy, so make sure you bundle up if you're heading to the parade, NBC10 First Alert Weather meteorologist Bill Henley said. Lingering clouds will give way to partly sunny skies by the time the parade starts at 11 a.m. Temperatures will climb into the low 30s, but the wind will make it feel like it’s in the 20s through the afternoon.

And while Bud Light is keeping its promise to buy beer for Eagles fans, Kenney said he doesn't expect the crowd to be full of rowdy, drunken fans. Still, he asked fans not to come armed with alcohol.

"I would tell people do not bring backpacks of beer with you because they'll be taken from you," Kenney said.

Since the Patriots lost the Super Bowl, the Boston Public Library has to display books with the word "Eagles" in the titles. Losing a bet with the Philadelphia Zoo required Zoo New England in Boston to name its newest goat "Foles" in honor of Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles.

Transit officials are trying to get people to and from the Eagles Super Bowl parade without the same congestion that marred the Phillies victory parade 10 years ago.

The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority’s plan for Thursday’s celebration includes only running in-bound Regional Rail trains in the morning, limiting access to certain stations, free subway rides and patience. PATCO also special service. Click here for details.

SEPTA normally gets around 268,000 riders across its bus, subway, trolley and trains services on an average weekday. With the possibility of more than 1 million people attending the parade, they are preparing in hopes of not stranding riders like what happened during the 2008 Phillies parade.

Transit officials urged riders to plan ahead and be prepared to deal with very crowded conditions.

Here's what you need to know however you go:

Contact individual facilities in advance for rates and availability, or visit the Philadelphia Parking Authority’s website at www.philapark.org for a list of parking options.

MASS TRANSIT

There are lots of changes including station closures, express routes, and more. Here's a full breakdown of how to get to the parade using mass transit.

Throughout the region, thousands - if not millions - of Eagles fans are hurriedly finalizing their plans to attend Thursday’s victory parade.

If you live outside the region and are hoping to make a hotel reservation for Wednesday night, you better act fast.

A quick Google search Monday morning after the Eagles Super Bowl win found plenty of rooms for below market value. But my Tuesday afternoon, those prices had increased and many of the available rooms had disappeared altogether.

None of the rooms left cost less than $100. And the most expensive ones topped out at $609 for one night at Sonesta Downtown Philadelphia and $599 for the Inn at Penn in West Philly.

“Hotels are filling up. They are filling up fast,” Ed Grose, executive director of the Greater Philadelphia Hotel Association said. “We expect it to be a very good week” for businesses.

Hotel occupancy is around 90 percent, according to Visit Philadelphia. Much of that came from a three-day conference that already planned to be in town long before the Eagles' victory. But with the added demand, it’s now a mad dash to book those last available rooms.

“If people are traveling to Philadelphia for the parade, they still have some time to book but they should act fast,” Jenea Robinson from Visit Philadelphia said.

If playing the hotel lottery does not sound appealing, try AirBnb. But be warned: as of Tuesday afternoon, only 13 percent of rooms were still available for Wednesday night.

“This is great exposure for our city,” Grose said. 

As for dinner reservations after Thursday’s grand finale, Open Table is offering up to 1,000 extra points for people who book in advance.

If sitting down to eat isn’t your thing, consider checking out one of the 40 food trucks that will be stationed near the parade route. Half of those trucks will be near 21st Street and Pennsylvania Avenue and another 20 will be at 20th and Winter streets near the Franklin Institute.

In addition to the food trucks, Philly Pretzel Factory plans to make more than 10,000 extra treats to sell inside their storefront at Broad and Passyunk and also on the sidewalks. 

Many of the restaurants near the parade will offer first come, first served seating, including Urban Farmer at the Logan Hotel. Check out the views from the rooftop and relax near a firepit if you can snag one of those cozy seats.

More of a pub type? The Bishop’s Collar has you covered. The bar, located just two blocks from the Philadelphia Art Museum, will be offering beer outside on the sidewalk, as well inside the tavern.

Both Con Murphy’s Pub and TGI Fridays on the Parkway will open early and offer first come, first served seating.

While Bud Light is keeping its promise to buy beer for Eagles fans, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said he doesn't expect the crowd to be full of rowdy, drunken fans. Still, he asked fans not to come armed with alcohol.

"I would tell people do not bring backpacks of beer with you because they'll be taken from you," Kenney said.
