Philadelphia descends into chaos as rowdy Eagles fans celebrate Super Bowl 2025 win
SUMMARY
Philadelphia erupted in chaotic celebrations Sunday night after the Eagles' dominant 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. Fans flooded Broad Street, igniting fireworks, popping champagne, and climbing street poles and traffic lights. Despite Mayor Cherelle Parker’s plea for responsible celebrations and warnings against climbing structures, several fans disregarded the advice. One sat atop a traffic light, while others jumped on top of a police van and even a garbage truck. On a police scanner, officers noted a group of 15-20 fans dancing on an ambulance. Philadelphia police commissioner Kevin Bethel assured residents that law enforcement had "all hands on deck" to manage the situation. However, the revelry echoed past celebrations that took tragic turns, including the death of an 18-year-old Temple University student during NFC Championship celebrations last month.
