Leave New York City behind and drive 1.5–2 hours to Philadelphia, the birthplace of American democracy and a city with a deep sporting culture. Upon arrival, begin your day with a tour of Citizens Bank Park, home of the Philadelphia Phillies. Even though there's no game today, the stadium tour gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the dugout, press box, luxury suites, and the Hall of Fame Club, offering insight into one of baseball’s most passionate fan bases.
Next, head to Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Philadelphia Eagles. If available, take a guided tour that includes the field, locker rooms, and press area, where the Super Bowl-winning Eagles prepare for battle. If you're more of a basketball or hockey fan, swing by the Wells Fargo Center, home to the Philadelphia 76ers and Flyers.
After the sports-filled morning, grab an authentic Philly cheesesteak from either Pat’s King of Steaks or Geno’s Steaks, two legendary rival spots. Then, channel your inner fighter by visiting the Philadelphia Museum of Art and running up the famous ‘Rocky Steps’, just like in the classic film.
If time allows, take a walk through Independence National Historical Park to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed. In the evening, unwind at Xfinity Live!, a massive sports bar and entertainment venue near the stadiums, offering great food, drinks, and a lively atmosphere to wrap up your day.
