Philadelphia prepares for riots following NFC Championship Game between Eagles, Vikings

If anything was to be gleaned from the State College riots following Penn State football's biggest wins of 2016, it's that Pennsylvanians are passionate about their favorite football team.

And Philadelphia officials are already taking precautionary measures to ensure the city doesn't incur similar damages to downtown Happy Valley following the NFC Championship Game between the Eagles and Minnesota Vikings.

Philadelphia issued a letter to local business owners on Thursday, requesting that if you own a business, take preventative measures for the would-be and inevitable riots that could ensue following game Sunday night.
