City leaders just announced big changes for Super Bowl weekend in Philadelphia. Starting noon on February 8, expect major changes in parking rules and blocked streets, mostly around South Broad Street and the City Hall area.

Look out for no-parking signs going up near City Hall and along South Broad on Thursday. If you leave your car in these marked spots after Saturday at noon, the city will tow it to another location.

The restrictions cover several areas. Parking won’t be allowed on side streets between Lombard and Chestnut. In the northeast, similar rules apply near Cottman and Frankford. South Philly residents need to move their cars from South Broad by Sunday.

Roads may close after cars are cleared out Sunday – from Lombard up to Chestnut, including nearby streets. If crowds get too big, they might need to block off extra space around City Hall. Some streets could stay closed until people clear out.

Plan alternate routes if you’re driving. SEPTA might adjust their service based on road closures and crowd size.

Fire trucks will be stationed downtown. Keep paths open so emergency crews can get through quickly if needed. And remember – no flying drones over the crowds.

The city’s command center will be up and running on game day. Staff will monitor everything happening and send updates online. Follow police, city officials, and emergency teams on X/Twitter for the latest info.

Officials released guidelines to keep everyone safe. Don’t leave bags unattended, report anything suspicious, and please – no climbing poles while drunk.

These measures help manage traffic and keep everyone safe during the game. For updates, check social media or visit the city’s website.
