An East Coast based marketing company has planted a billboard for a phony ‘pep rally in your pocket’ near the Chiefs’ stadium in Kansas City. Anyone who calls is treated to the Eagles’ fight song<\/h2>\n

\n

A marketing company from Wilmington, Del. — that also has offices in Philly and Bloomsburg — is playing a light-hearted trick on fans of the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of Super Bowl LIX with a billboard outside their stadium.<\/p>\n

Since Feb. 4, 2025, representatives of the marketing communications agency\u00a0Aloysius Butler & Clark\u00a0say, the company has had a billboard set up along I-435 outside Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City that reads “816-323-GOKC\u2014call for a pep rally in your pocket.”<\/p>\n

However, when Chiefs fans call the number on the bright red and white billboard they are treated to the rousing sounds of the Eagles fight song.<\/p>\n

“Fly, Eagles, fly, on the road to victory…”<\/p>\n

And, if a breath spray company can\u00a0attempt to troll Eagles fans with a billboard\u00a0at the Linc, turnabout is fair play.<\/p>\n

The company said, in a statement on the billboard that hundreds of people called the number in the first 24 hours that it was in place.<\/p>\n

Also, for every call to the number, Aloysius Butler & Clark will make donations to the Eagles Autism Foundation and Kansas City\u2019s Hunt Family Foundation.<\/p>\n

The company plans to donate up to $5,000 total, based on the number of calls received between Feb. 4 and the game on Sunday, Feb. 9, 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cAB&C is incredibly proud to be a part of the Philadelphia community and grateful for the opportunities it\u2019s given us as a business,\u201d said Colleen Masters, AB&C\u2019s executive creative director in a statement. \u201cTo honor this pride, we wanted to give back to two great charities in a meaningful but uniquely Philly way. Like any proud part of the Philadelphia community, we take our sports seriously. With the Eagles in the big game, this seemed like a great chance to take our team spirit well beyond our borders. We did this for every loyal Eagles fan out there\u2014and even more importantly, for the communities of both teams.\u201d<\/p>\n

As of about 10 a.m. on Thursday, representatives with Aloysius Butler & Clark said they had already received over 1,000 calls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
