Chiefs bar in South Philadelphia finds itself behind enemy lines for Super Bowl LVII
Deep behind enemy lines, a small cohort of Chiefs fans living in Philadelphia will watch Super Bowl LVII from the friendly confines of the city's only Chiefs-themed bar.
"I’m sorry again. Go Chiefs," the tweet concluded.
The tiny corner bar is filled with helmets jerseys and everything else red and gold and has been dubbed "Arrowhead East.’
It's been a haven for Chiefs fans since 1986 and is only about a mile from Lincoln Financial Field.
The decision left local Chiefs fans without too many options to go out for the game and feel like they were on their home turf.
