Philadelphia Erupts in Celebration, and Unruliness, After Victory
Fans flooded into the streets from crowded bars after watching their team clinch its first Super Bowl title
and the first national championship for any Philadelphia team since the Phillies won the World Series in 2008.
The celebration in the streets around City Hall started out peacefully
but grew more unruly as some fans pulled down traffic lights, climbed onto the roofs of garbage trucks and bus shelters, pushed over concrete planters and sprayed beer over the crowd.
PHILADELPHIA — Thousands of Eagles fans jammed the streets of downtown Philadelphia late Sunday in
a rowdy celebration of the team’s victory over the New England Patriots in this year’s Super Bowl.
“We have had several acts of vandalism where windows have been smashed, and some injuries have been reported around light poles
that have been pulled down,” the Philadelphia Police Department said in a statement.
