"Eagles fans borrowing against their homes for Super Bowl trips," began a headline from the Associated Press.
It has been 24 years since Philadelphia had a team in the Super Bowl. Can you blame fans for not wanting to miss it?
"I don't care if we have to mortgage our house, I'm going," said one Eagles fan named O'Donoghue. "Sometimes the cards are maxed out and you gotta do what you gotta do," he explained.
What O'Donoghue had to do was to take out a home equity line of credit, that is, to mortgage his house.
"If I had any equity left in my house, I probably would, too," said another football aficionada, who paid $8,686 Super Bowl package out of savings.
Does anyone want to mortgage their teardrop for a trip to the superbowl?
