Philadelphia is getting to be an expert at putting on championship parades.
The city will welcome the Villanova Wildcats as champions for the second time in three years, with a parade beginning at 11 a.m. Thursday.
The parade will begin in South Philadelphia and end at City Hall. The team is expected to appear at a rally around 11:45 a.m. at City Hall, ending around 12:30 p.m., which should give fans time to head back south to Citizens Bank Park for the Phillies' home opener against the Marlins at 3 p.m.
The city held a parade along the same route following Villanova's stunning win over North Carolina to win the title in 2016.
