Philadelphia was hit with nearly two feet of snow over the weekend, which meant that some 1,700 shovelers were called to Lincoln Financial Field to clear parking lots and dig out nearly 70,000 buried stadium seats.

And for the most part, it worked. Of course, there was still snow on the premises, and, well, you can imagine what happened once nearly 70,000 fans got bored watching the Eagles handle the 49ers.

Via Deadspin:


Here are four more YouTubes of Eagles' fans winging snowballs at one another. Sadly, Phil Simms wasn't calling the play by play.

In other snowy Philly-related news, Eagles mascot Swoop was gunned down as he made his way down the sideline. Authorities combed the seats behind the bench for the sniper but were forced to take cover after fans pelted them with snowballs. Or maybe Swoop just hit an icy patch and wiped out. Either way: good times.
