Philly Eagles Fans In Pittsburgh: Where They'll Watch The Super Bowl
The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs play in the Super Bowl on Sunday. This is Steelers territory. What will Birds fans do?
PITTSBURGH, PA — The former Silky's in Squirrel Hill used to be the place where Philadelphia Eagles fans would congregate to watch their favorite team. That bar, alas, closed several years ago.
So where are Eagles fans going to watch the Super Bowl on Sunday as their team takes on the Kansas City Chiefs?
The Eagles Fans in Pittsburgh Facebook page provides a clue. It's Cupka's Cafe II on East Carson Street in the South Side.

"First time I ever went to Cupka's was for the last Super Bowl and probably watched 20+ games there in years after," former Pittsburgh resident Collin Berger wrote on the page. "I’ve since moved back to the Philly area but watching the Birds on the South Side are some of my favorite memories."
Rich Cupka, the bar's owner, said he will be open at 11 a.m. on Sunday for fans who want to watch pre-game activities. The Eagles and Chiefs, both sporting 16-3 records including the playoffs, will begin play at 6:30 p.m.
