In her 20 years creating exhibitions for Philadelphia International Airport, Leah Douglas has faced plenty of pressure from fans to curate an installation featuring the Philadelphia Eagles. Her answer was always the same: “They’ve got to win.”
As soon as the team defeated the New England Patriots on Feb. 4 to win Super Bowl LII — A franchise first — Douglas knew she had to deliver. She immediately abandoned her plan to feature the new LOVE Park in this year’s Wawa Welcome America exhibit.
“There was no way we could not focus on the Eagles,” said Douglas, the airport’s director of image and chief curator.
