Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – "GO BIRDS!"

January 2025 – The Philadelphia Eagles teamed up with Verge Aero to deliver a spirited drone show over the Philadelphia Museum of Art, garnering excitement ahead of their NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders.

Hundreds of fans flocked to Eakins Oval facing the museum's famous "Rocky Steps" to witness the 300-drone display, which accompanied a pep rally with appearances from the Eagles Drumline, cheerleaders, and mascot Swoop.

The 10-minute show brought to life iconic Eagles imagery, players' celebratory dance moves, and unforgettable season moments like RB Saquon Barkley's backwards leap over a Jaguars defender. A can of Bud Light, the show's presenter, made a playful cameo over the Museum steps. The display concluded with a large QR code that gave attendees the chance to win NFC Championship tickets.

The show was a big success and a hit on social media, leaving fans energized for the big game.

The drone show was a great event for the Eagles's fan base to rally before the championship against the 49ers leading into the Superbowl. Supersized logos and QR codes with free prizes are obvious wins for fan engagement, and they only scratch the surface of what's possible with aerial drone choreography. Expect to see more franchises and more industries reaching their audience through the night sky.
