This year’s rivals at the Super Bowl are two cities that couldn’t be any more different. The City of Brotherly Love oozes with history and owns the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, cheesesteaks, and Rocky Balboa, while Kansas City is rooted deeply in jazz, barbecue, wheat, and its beautiful fountains.

However, both areas share one thing in common beyond a passion for their football teams: they both suffer from the Big Game hangover.
