Big Charlie's Chiefs Haven in South Philly
Update: 2025-12-09
Description
Big Charlies Saloon in South Philadelphia, an Eagles territory, unexpectedly became a cherished haven for Kansas City Chiefs fans, dubbed Arrowhead East. The bars deep connection to the Chiefs began with owner Paul Staico, who promised his father a new bicycle if the red team won Super Bowl Four in 1970. Pauls lifelong loyalty to the team, cultivated after taking over the bar at 16, fostered a welcoming environment that transcended typical sports rivalries. Numerous Chiefs figures, including coaches, players, and executives, visited the bar, with Derrick Thomas once spending hours signing autographs. Paul Staicos legacy lives on in every story told and every Sunday gathering of fans who found a home because of him.
