The Super Bowl will have fans travelling from all over the country to watch the game. It’s going to be the Philadelphia Eagles or the Kansas City Chiefs, but one thing is sure. There will be a ton of people singing the famous “Fly, Eagles Fly” fight song in Arizona.
Every franchise has a chant that identifies them. in Philadelphia’s case, the origin goes back all the way to the 1950s. Charles Borrelli and Richard Courtland Harrison were the creators of what was then known as “The Eagles’ Victory Song”, but it was changed with time.
The late 1990s appears as the part in history where the current version was completed. It was reduced from five minutes to just 33 seconds to make the chant easier to remember. Among the changes there was the addition of a new traditional ending.

Fly, Eagles Fly!
On the road to victory! (Fight! Fight! Fight!)

And watch our Eagles fly!
