Philadelphia Slathers Crisco on Street Poles to Keep Eagles Fans Down
Championship game against the Minnesota Vikings, they’ll advance to the Super Bowl
for the first time since 2004 — something Eagles fans will undoubtedly celebrate.
Championship game at their home stadium on Sunday, the police were preparing to keep the city’s boisterous football fans safe.
“It’ll keep some people off, but after a certain amount of time, people will
keep trying to go up there and I’m sure they’ll be wiping it off,” she said
They’ve put Crisco on the poles in downtown Philadelphia to prevent fans from potentially climbing them later.
Michelle Thompson, 27, saw the greasy poles along Broad Street when she started her shift at a restaurant on Sunday.
Sekou Kinebrew, a spokesman for the Philadelphia Police Department, said in an email.
