Daily News | Phillies World Series usurps spooky season for Philly bar owners: ‘I almost forgot it was Halloween’
Chris McNichol spent Friday afternoon decorating his Queen Village sports bar, the Woolly Mammoth, for Halloween.This year, however, the“I almost forgot that it was Halloween Monday with everything going on with the Phillies and Eagles,”, said McNichol, who planned to put candy on the bar Monday night, but “won’t do the place up as much” as usual.
After the Phillies won the National League Championship and began preparing to play Games 1 and 2 of the World Series on Friday and Saturday, as well as Game 3 at home on Monday, some bars changed their plans. The stadium complex-adjacent Xfinity Live!, for example, canceled prescheduled Halloween events over the weekend. Xfinity instead hosted Phillies watch parties, live videos from which were occasionally shown on the national television broadcast of the games.
The bar played the Phillies game with sound on its 20 TVs, and the spooky festivities didn’t get into full swing until after the game. The bar sometimes got Phillies crowds during the regular season , he said, but nothing like this. “Even people that aren’t real sports fans are getting excited.”
