JEFFERSON CITY – The Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles will meet each other next weekend during Super Bowl LVII in Arizona, and a friendly wager placed between the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry is raising the stakes beyond just bragging rights.
If the Kansas City Chiefs win, Pennsylvania Chamber President and CEO Luke Bernstein will treat Missouri Chamber President and CEO Dan Mehan to Yuengling beer, Hershey’s Chocolate, Peeps marshmallow candies and Giorgi mushrooms. If the Eagles win, Missouri Chamber President and CEO Dan Mehan will treat Luke Bernstein to Budweiser beer, Jack Stack’s barbeque, Burger’s Smokehouse ham and sausages and Cherry Mash candies.
“I never miss a chance to offer our Missouri products to anyone, but this time Pennsylvania is out of luck,” Mehan said. “One of the finest assets we ever received from Pennsylvania is Coach Andy Reid, and we are confident that he will lead Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the world-class Kansas City Chiefs team to another Super Bowl Championship! We look forward to enjoying some Philadelphia treats!”
“Fly Eagles Fly,” Bernstein said. “The Eagles have been a powerhouse all season on both sides of the ball, with Jalen Hurts leading our air and ground game supported by the best offensive line in football and future Hall of Fame center – and our favorite Kelce brother— Jason Kelce, combined with our lock-down defense and exciting special teams. Philly has a top-tier organization with great leadership top-to-bottom, and one of the most passionate fan bases in all of sports. I have every confidence that the Eagles are bringing the Lombardi trophy back to the City of Brotherly Love. We can’t wait to taste that Kansas City barbeque! But, one thing we both agree on, is that Donna Kelce, mother of the Kelce brothers should stand with her two sons Jason and Travis, and flip the coin in order to get this game started,” Bernstein added.
The game will be played at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday, February 12. The Kanas City Chiefs are trying to win their third championship in franchise history, while the Philadelphia Eagles are working to win their second title in franchise history.
