Jerry Market, a Marine Corps veteran and cancer survivor, was surprised with tickets to see the Eagles play in the Super Bowl.
"I just didn't have any idea what was going on," said Jerry Market, who won the tickets.
He and his sons got a tour of Lincoln Financial Field before the NFC divisional round game on January 21. He thought it might have had something to do with the fact that he'd been a season ticket holder for so long."'We are giving you two tickets to the Super Bowl.' Well, I was crushed, I couldn't believe it," said Market.
It turns out his son Brian had submitted a form at the beginning of the season to nominate a season ticket holder to be honored. "I tell them our story, 51 years. My dad's a Marine Corps vet and a throat cancer survivor," said Brian Market. The letter caught the attention of the Eagles, and they decided to send the two on a trip to the Super Bowl.The Eagles are also paying for their flight and their hotel.
