Back in their old stomping grounds.

After Jason Kelce announced his retirement from the NFL, he and his brother, Travis Kelce, pulled up to Ohio’s Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse Tuesday night to cheer on the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The duo — who grew up in Cleveland Heights — were all smiles as they walked into the building clad in custom Cavaliers gear, which featured their respective jersey numbers and last names.

While Travis kept things simple by wearing all-black, his older brother rocked a green jacket and a white-and-blue baseball hat.

The pair were greeted with a standing ovation from the crowd as they settled into their courtside seats to watch their hometown team face off against the Boston Celtics.

The Ohio-based franchise honored the brothers by passing out limited-edition “Kelce Brothers” bobbleheads to fans before the game.

On Monday, the legendary Philadelphia Eagles center, 36, confirmed he was hanging up his cleats after 13 seasons during a moving 40-minute press conference.

While Jason started crying the moment he sat down at the podium, Travis was also overcome with emotion as his older brother reflected on their childhood and how it impacted his championship-winning career.

“We have a small family, no cousins, one aunt and one uncle. It was really my brother and I our whole lives,” the offensive lineman said. “We did almost everything together — competed, fought, laughed, cried and learned from each other.”

“There is no chance that I would be here without the bond that Travis and I share,” he continued. “It made me stronger, tougher, smarter and taught me the values of cooperation, loyalty, patience and understanding.”

Although Travis wore a pair of dark sunglasses, the tight end was seen wiping away tears with a tissue.

Elsewhere in the speech, Jason reflected on meeting his wife, Kylie Kelce, following the Eagles’ Christmas party in 2014.

“It was like she glided through the opening, an aura around her. Then she started talking and I thought, ‘Man, is this what love feels like?’” he said of Kylie. “She was beautiful and smart, serious yet playful. I knew it right away.”

Jason said it was “no coincidence” that he experienced the “best years” of his career after meeting the former field hockey player, 31.

“Every accolade I have ever received has come with her in my life,” he said of Kylie. “She has brought the best out of me through love, devotion, support, honesty, intelligence, and of course, a swift kick in the ass from time to time.”

The couple, who wed in 2018, share daughters Wyatt, 4, and Elliotte, 2, and Bennett, 1.

Following the press conference, Jason immediately went over to embrace his younger brother before making his way to the rest of his family.

The center was the Eagles’ sixth-round pick in the 2011 draft and won one Super Bowl with the team in 2018.
