PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Temperatures will be below freezing overnight, but that doesn't matter to Eric McClellan and Daishon Sanders.

"I figure I'd be here first so I can get me a nice spot so I could see the whole thing," said Eric Mcclellan, of Southwest Philadelphia.

They claimed their spot near the Philadelphia Museum of Art at 1:30 p.m. Thursday. They're not leaving until the Super Bowl 59 champion Eagles roll through.

"We just ready to party," said Diashon Sanders, of South Philadelphia.

Organizers expect a million people to line the parade route. It starts at Broad and Pattinson in South Philadelphia, runs north to City Hall, and ends at the Art Museum with a ceremony sure to captivate everyone in person and the millions more watching on TV.

Officials say it's not a bad idea to get in place early. McClellan got that message loud and clear.

"It's going to be legendary. I gotta see it," he said.
