USWNT ticker-tape parade brings NYC to its feet

Today New York City holds the USWNT parade, aka ticker-tape parade, in honor of the U.S. women's national soccer team and their incredible World Cup victory.

This is the first time in over 30 years that New York hosts a ticker-tape parade for a sports team based outside of NYC. If anyone deserves this honorable event, it's these fierce, inspiring women. Fans are flocking to the scene in support of the victorious team.

The parade is occurring along Lower Manhattan's Canyon of Heroes, beginning at 11 AM. The Manhattan borough president, Gale A. Brewer, led a push for the parade by sending a letter to Mayor de Blasio on Monday and starting an online petition. She told the New York Times:

Seeing as how the team's celebration in Los Angeles on Tuesday was a mad house (in the best way possible), we have no doubt that the New York parade will be a crazy fun time.

If you aren't fortunate enough to attend the parade that'll surely go down in history, don't stress! AOL will be covering the event on Periscope, Twitter, and Vine. Live vicariously through these social media outlets for the afternoon and you won't miss a minute of the glory!
