Eagles Billboard Trolls Patriots Fans Going To Gillette Stadium
This sign that celebrates the Eagles' Super Bowl win is up just in time for their game against the Patriots Thursday.

FOXBOROUGH, MA — Ask Patriots head coach Bill Belichick about the team's Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and you'll get a scold and cold reminder that the game is in the past. Don't tell that to Eagles fans, they're still celebrating and doing it as close to Gillette Stadium as they can get.
A billboard from Spector Sports Art celebrating the Eagles' February win has gone up at the intersection of Route 1 and North Street, which is a stone's throw away from the home of the Patriots. Through Twitter, Jordan Spector, the person responsible for the billboard says that the large sign was made from hand-painted artwork which is also available as a print.
The celebration is a result of a bet by a Massachusetts woman who said she would put the billboard up if the Eagles won, according to Sports Illustrated. After obtaining the $5,000 needed and being forced to take “No one likes us and we don’t care" off the billboard, it went up.

This isn't the first time a fan of another team has tried to troll the team. In 2015, a plane operated by a New York Jets fan took off from Mansfield Municipal Airport and flew over Gillette Stadium during training camp with a banner that read "Cheaters look up."
