Love Parade: Kansas City Chiefs to Celebrate Super Bowl LVIII Win With Victory Parade on Valentine’s Day
The Kansas City Chiefs Are Celebrating Their Ascent to NFL Dynasty Status With a Super Bowl Victory Parade on Valentine’s Day
Love and victory will overtake downtown Kansas City on Wednesday, Feb. 14.
The Kansas City Chiefs are celebrating their Super Bowl LVIII triumph over the San Francisco 49ers in overtime with a victory parade on Valentine's Day.
Local ABC affiliate KMBC 9 News reported the route and other details of the parade after receiving said information on Sunday night from the Kansas City Sports Commission.
"Officials say the parade will step off at 11 a.m. Wednesday," the report said. "The two-mile route will begin on Grand Boulevard at 6th Street and head south to Pershing Road."
"The parade will wrap up with a victory rally on a stage in front of Union Station with the National WWI Museum and Memorial hosting viewing opportunities on its north lawn. The Victory Rally is scheduled to begin shortly after the parade ends, likely around 12:45 p.m."
Taking place on Valentine's Day, there's ample attention being given to the possible attendance of 14-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift, who's dating Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce. In a Monday article about the upcoming celebration in Kansas City, ESPN reported that Swift has to be in Melbourne, Australia, by 6 p.m. Friday for the first of seven Eras Tour concerts in the country after a flight that takes "about 17 hours."
Swift's possible appearance in downtown Kansas City on Wednesday is one of two reasons the parade's organizers are expecting a larger turnout than normal for the Chief's victory parade. The weather forecast in the area for Feb. 14, according to KMBC, is "cloudy and around 60 degrees."
With their thrilling 25-22 win on Sunday, the Chiefs became the first team to win back-to-back Super Bowls since the New England Patriots 19 years ago. They're now rightly recognized as a dynasty, having won three championships in the last five seasons.
Not since New England during the 2000s and Dallas Cowboys of the 1990s has there been an NFL team this dominant.
