and they had a feature about Big Charlies Saloon. Great piece... huge fans of the Chiefs, and they grew up and live in Philadelphia. Unreal.
I am wondering if anyone has been there, and... if anyone from Philly who goes there, posts on ChiefsPlanet??
Next time in Philly, Im definitely heading there for a beer!

April 29, 2004 (morning)--Nestled in the heart of South Philadelphia, Big Charlie’s is a bar that houses not Philadelphia Eagles fans, but Kansas City Chiefs fans. NFL Films brings Chiefs head coach Dick Vermeil and his coaching staff to Big Charlie’s to surprise die-hard Chiefs fans that live in Philadelphia. Originally released as a segment of NFL Films Presents, Big Charlie’s garnered the first Sports Emmy award for the fledgling NFL Network, which became the youngest network ever to win the prestigious gold trophy.
The NFL Network will celebrated its six-month anniversary on May 4. With the release of the 2004 playing schedule last week, exclusive coverage from inside the NFL Annual Meetings earlier in the month, the first-ever nightly access to the NFL Scouting Combine in February, and NFL Total Access, the nightly show of record for NFL news, NFL viewers have been provided insight never seen before.

Do you have any pets?
Are you an alcoholic?
What is your favorite dance fad of the past twenty years?
PECOTA or ZIPS?

Just moved to Philadelphia last year and everyone has told me about it. I'm going this year with my Johnson jersey, I hear that there are a lot of Chief fans that go there from the area all the time. [Reply]
I am going to be in Philly this Sunday and I would like to catch the game at Big Charlies if possible. Problem is, I don't even know if they are still open and I can't find a phone number for 'em (even tried 411). Bumping this thoroughly confusing thread is my last resort. I would greatly appreciate a response from anyone with applicable info.
Sorry for dirtying the Lounge with this noob horseshit and thanks in advance. [Reply]

Hmmm...this is an odd thread, it even predates my CP membership. Try sending PhillyChiefFan a PM, I think he still gets on here regularly. [Reply]
