Both teams arrived at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in the afternoon, setting the stage for an intense week leading up to Super Bowl LIX , which will take place on February 9 at the Caesars Superdome. Super Bowl LIX: Eagles and Chiefs Arrive in New Orleans The Eagles were the first to land, signaling their presence with a green-and-white flag reading "Geaux Birds" waving from the cockpit—an homage to the local Louisiana culture.
The reigning champions, the Chiefs, followed soon after, as eager fans and media awaited their arrival. Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes made a fashion statement in a Hugo Boss sweatsuit, while his teammate Travis Kelce sported a relaxed yet stylish outfit. Head coach Andy Reid opted for a classic blue suit with a red tie, whereas Eagles’ head coach Nick Sirianni embraced comfort over formality.
Upon landing, players and staff descended from their planes and boarded awaiting buses without much fanfare. Security was heightened at the airport, with media members kept at a distance of 50 yards from the teams. The city, still reeling from the tragic New Year's Day terrorist attack in the French Quarter, has implemented rigorous safety measures to ensure a secure Super Bowl experience.
Both teams have.
