It's become something of a tradition in Philadelphia - one that most other cities just don't understand.
Hours before a big sports game, the city sets out on a mission to grease the poles near City Hall in anticipation of a victory.RELATED COVERAGE:Philadelphia police announced the same safety precaution before the NFC Championship game at Lincoln Financial Field last month.
While the tactic proves unsuccessful time-and-time again, police were still spotted greasing the poles Sunday ahead of the Eagles showdown against the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. Perhaps it's become a superstition, a sign of a win to come? Or maybe this time the greased poles will win!
