After the Philadelphia Eagles’ thrilling victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday night, fans quickly flooded the streets of Center City to celebrate.
In the days preceding the Super Bowl, local officials advised spectators to exercise caution; yet, Chopper 3 documented some of the chaos that ensued in the hours following the conclusion of the game.
Fans were seen on camera burning sheets and towels that were taken from a box truck at 12th and Market Street. Police were observed restraining people and extinguishing the fires with fire extinguishers.
Large people were observed tearing down traffic poles around 13th and Market.
Although there have been no reports of injuries as of Monday am, video footage showed people igniting pyrotechnics in the middle of congested streets.
At 1:30 a.m., police were still trying to disperse people.
In addition to traffic being blocked on Center City streets by mounted officers and police on motorcycles, many residents of the city simultaneously received a phone message that said, “Philadelphia Police order crowds to disperse and leave Center City streets.” Observe the Philadelphia Police’s directions regarding the exit.

Superintendent Dr. Tony Watlington stated in a video released last week that superstition had a role in the decision.
“In 2018, when the Eagles went to Super Bowl LII and won against the New England Patriots. As I recall, we did not have a two-hour delay in the school district. The Eagles returned to the game five years later for Super Bowl LVII. That year, well, we did have a two-hour delay, and guess what? Unfortunately, the Eagles lost.”
“And so, in keeping with the winning tradition, we will not have a two-hour delay on Monday, Feb. 10. Schools will operate on normal schedules. …I hope all of you enjoy the game with friends and family and cheer on our Eagles safely. And I look forward to seeing you back at school and work on Monday. Go Birds!”
