Super Bowl Celebration: Eagles Fans Take Over Philly
Here are the best photos and videos from Sunday night … because you’ll probably want to relive it forever.

At long last, Philly has proven itself.
We took down the Patriots. We took down Tom Brady. When we celebrated, we took down an entire hotel awning … and hoisted a keg atop the gates of City Hall.
They said it couldn’t be done – that we were underdogs – but we did it. We won the Super Bowl. Broad Street was jam-packed and wild and full of green on Sunday night. There were celebrations … and destruction. Somehow, our city is still standing today.
Here are must-see photos and videos from a night the city will remember forever.
Let’s start with backflips off the Ritz awning:

Needless to say, there were conquered light poles:
