“It was good it wasn’t as crazy as I thought it would be…I woke up by 5:30am and got on the subway by 6am,” Chloe Trainer ‘26 said.

Mount and LaSalle sophomores Lucia Mascaro ‘27, Caroline Squillaro ‘27, Grant Kiefner ‘27, and Nick Stampone ‘27 join together to start their long wait for the Eagles.

“We waited for like 5 hours to get such a good spot and it was really worth it because we met a lot of the players, it was just a great experience,” Lucia Mascaro ‘27 said.

Lily McMullin ‘26, Janie Mullen ‘26, and Ella Roselli ‘26, all matching and excited for the parade. A moment later the girls rushed onto the subway.

“The parade was a lot of fun, we got there super early so we got front row seats to see all the players,” Ella Roselli ‘26 said.

LaSalle students, Sean Brennan ‘26, Charlie Donahue ‘26, Keenan Stahl ‘26, and Shea Crawford ‘26, hold the facsimile of the Lombardi trophy being sold at Fernrock Transit Center.

“Touching the trophy never felt better and being able to experience it with my best friends on such a special day was something I’ll never forget,” Shea Crawford LSCHS ‘26 said.
