Thousands of Eagles fans spilled out of bars and onto the streets of Philadelphia Sunday night after watching their team defeat the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX.
The city had opted not to grease the light poles even though a fan died two weeks ago after falling from a light pole after the NFC Championship Game. Despite that tragedy, Eagles fans showed no hesitation in climbing to the top of light poles, cars, construction vehicles, garbage trucks, small buildings, and almost anything else they could find.

However, it seems as though most Eagles fans wanted to climb things.

“Please, Philadelphia, I implore you as your mayor: Do not climb light poles or anything else,” Philadelphia Mayor Charelle Parker said before the Super Bowl. “I know this comes up every time we have an outdoor celebration after our Philly teams win, and I get it. But folks, climbing or attempting to climb up a light pole, or a bus shelter, or really any structure for that matter — it can lead to tragedy.”
Eagles fans are known for rowdy celebrations, and this year is no different. Philadelphia’s victory has given the franchise its second Super Bowl championship and avenged a previous Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs in 2023.
For the Chiefs, the loss spoils their attempt to become the first NFL team to “three-peat” in the Super Bowl era. In addition, Kansas City is looking at the strong possibility of losing one of the key components of their dynastic run, All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce, who is rumored to be considering retirement.
