Super Bowl fans start fires on streets of Philadelphia
The Independent
|February 11, 2025
Chaos broke out in Philadelphia after the Kansas City Chiefs’ hopes of winning a third consecutive Super Bowl championship were thwarted by the Philadelphia Eagles.
Tens of thousands of NFL fans poured out of the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday after the Eagles thrashed the Chiefs 40-22 and clinched their second Super Bowl title. But it was 1,200 miles away in Center City, Philadelphia, where victory celebrations were marred by mayhem.
Videos, which have since gone viral on social media, captured supporters uprooting traffic lights, clambering on buildings and police cars, and setting fires throughout the city. Philadelphia police arrived at the scene on foot, bikes and horseback, and were forced to intervene after a sea of green jerseys took over Broad Street and Frankford and Cottman avenues.
A fire erupted near 12th and Market streets during fan celebrations, and police tried to disperse crowds using their bikes on Broad Street after a violent clash broke out.
