Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles Is Coming To 97.5 The Fanatic’s Fan Fest
You will not want to miss Fan Fest this year. None other than Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles will be making an appearance. Yes the man who helped Philadelphia have its first-ever Super Bowl parade, will be partying with us on August 26th at Fan Fest.
Nick Foles played in the NFL for 11 years, including 5 with the Eagles. He was drafted by Andy Reid back in 2012. He got his first chance to be the full-time starter the next season with Chip Kelly and had a historic season with 27 TDs and just two interceptions. But not long after that, Chip Kelly traded him. He returned a few years later under Doug Pederson. And we should be grateful he did. Because when Carson Wentz went down, Nick Foles filled in. And as a backup, he led the Eagles through the playoffs and helped us take down Tom Brady and the Patriots to give the city of Philly a trophy.
Fan Fest is the Fanatic’s Annual End of Summer Party. It’s your chance to meet Fanatic Hosts, Philadelphia Athletes, and more. Nick Foles joins a guest list that already includes former Sixer Lou Williams and former Flyer Scott Hartnell. In addition to the guests, there will be Soccer Darts, a wiffle ball arena, a mechanical shark, dunk tanks, exotic sports cars, escape rooms, rock walls, meet and greets, live music, and so much more. The event is hosted at Xfinity Live, with doors opening up at 11, and staying open until 5. You must be 21 or older to attend.
This is your chance to get to see the man who finally got us the Lombardi Trophy. The guy who pulled off the Philly Special. If you don’t have tickets yet, don’t worry. Continue to listen to all of our shows for your chances to win tickets. You can look here for upcoming online and in-person Ticket Raids.
In case you need a reminder of how important Nick Foles is to Philadelphia Sports history, check out some of his best moments below:
Andrew Salciunas, “The Choonis,” has done it all at the station - screening calls, working events as a member of the street team, producing 7 days a week, doing updates, and now hosting his own show. Now with a wife and kid, his life experiences are far different than when he first started, but this “regular guy” knows how to relate to anyone. He writes about the Flyers, Phillies, Sixers, and Eagles.
