Philadelphia Police have issued a public safety alert in the wake of the incidents, saying: "Philadelphia police order crowds to disperse and leave city center streets." Newsweek has contacted the Philadelphia Police Department for further details.

A FreedomNews.TV video shows people throwing laundry out of a truck and cheering, with a row of law enforcement standing by.

Another clip shows a large fire in the middle of the street, with police officers directing people to move away from it.

Other officers on bicycles can be seen gathering as sirens sound in the background.

An X account that usually shares updates on scanner activity in San Diego County started a specific thread for "scanner updates on the Eagles Celebration in Philly."

It reported several fires and said multiple arrests had taken place in the 12th St & Market St area, "where the linen truck was looted and the contents were set on fire."

Looting in Phildadelphia after Eagles in SuperBowl
Philadelphia Eagles fans celebrate the team's victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX in the streets near Philadelphia City Hall. Philadelphia police have issued a public safety alert following incidents of looting...

In January, after the Eagles won the NFC championship game, there were more than 30 arrests, including some that were for assault on police officers.

Teenage fan Tyler Sabapathy, 18, died from injuries sustained after falling from a street pole during celebrations.

What People Are Saying

Philadelphia Police posted on X: "Philadelphia Police ask crowds to disperse and clear the streets in Center City. Follow public safety instructions on where to safely exit. Watch those around you."

Brandon Podgorski, the program director of sports leadership at Abilene Christian University, who has studied fan violence, told The New York Times: "It's a sort of mob mentality. You want to be around others who care like you do and feel the same about your team as you do. This often happens in public places and, unfortunately, public property is damaged in the process."

Jason Lanter, a psychology professor at Kutztown University, who has also studied fan violence, said fans are often emboldened because they are "less likely to be identified in a big group and then do things they would typically not do alone."

The full impacts of the looting, including how many people were arrested, the level of damage, and whether anyone was hurt are yet to be seen.

The Philadelphia Eagles clinched their second Super Bowl title with a commanding 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Quarterback Jalen Hurts earned MVP honors, amassing 221 passing yards and three total touchdowns. The Eagles' defense dominated, sacking Patrick Mahomes six times and forcing multiple turnovers, including a pivotal pick-six by Cooper DeJean.

The Chiefs, aiming for a historic three-peat, struggled offensively and faced a 24-0 halftime deficit. Despite a late rally, the Eagles' early lead proved insurmountable. This win marks a significant redemption for Hurts and head coach Nick Sirianni, both of whom have overcome past criticisms.


The Super Bowl, a spectacle of national unity, celebrity cameos, and billion-dollar commercials, was overshadowed this year by the fervent devotion of Philadelphia Eagles fans. While many attendees were captivated by the halftime show or the political undertones, Eagles fans transformed the Superdome into a cauldron of ecstatic, almost primal energy.   

Their passion borders on legendary. The story of a fan consuming horse manure during a previous championship parade exemplifies their extreme dedication. This year, their fervor was no less intense. While the game featured Lady Gaga, Tom Brady, and the President, along with a backdrop of national healing, Eagles fans were consumed by their team. Their ecstatic, almost manic, connection to the Birds was palpable.

The Eagles dominated the Kansas City Chiefs in a decisive 40-22 victory. Patrick Mahomes, striving for a historic three consecutive Super Bowl wins, faced constant pressure, throwing two interceptions and struggling against the Eagles' defense. His discomfort mirrored the frustration of many viewers searching for entertainment during a one-sided game.   

Even Kendrick Lamar's halftime performance couldn't rival the energy generated by the Eagles' fight song, "Fly Eagles Fly." Every Eagles score ignited the stadium with this classic anthem, a testament to the team's enduring legacy.

The Eagles' dominance was absolute, and their fans responded in kind. Stories abound of head-butting in restrooms, deafening chants, and exuberant celebrations. The sheer number of Eagles fans present overwhelmed the few Chiefs supporters, turning the stadium into a sea of green. Even celebrity sightings, like Bradley Cooper, and Taylor Swift's appearance, were met with boos and cheers depending on their perceived allegiance. As the game concluded, Eagles fans even appropriated the Chiefs' traditional chant, turning it into a final act of playful mockery.   

The Eagles' victory eclipsed all other Super Bowl narratives, from political appearances to celebrity moments. The event, typically a stage for national unity and spectacle, became a private party for thousands of deliriously happy Eagles fans. They weren't concerned with the broader context of the Super Bowl; they were there for their team, their song, and their shared, unadulterated joy. They embodied the raw, unfiltered passion that lies at the heart of fandom, a passion so intense that it can drive them to extremes, from head-butting strangers to, yes, even consuming horse manure. They represent the die-hard fans who truly cherish the game, the ones who experience the euphoric highs and the heart-wrenching lows, and who, in the end, make the Super Bowl what it is.

Are you feeling the post-Super Bowl slump? Starbucks has the tired football fans covered, with a free tall (12-ounce) hot or iced brewed coffee on Monday.

Starbucks Rewards members can receive a free tall (12-ounce) hot or iced brewed coffee by activating a coupon in the Starbucks app. This offer is available for one day only and can be redeemed by ordering through the app or in person at participating stores.

Anyone who is not a Starbucks Rewards member can sign up by 11:59 p.m. PT on Feb. 9 to receive the free coffee coupon in the Starbucks app on Monday, according to the company.

The free coffee is part of Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol's plans for broader changes to the company, including advertisements that aired on Fox on Sunday before and after the Super Bowl.

One of the 60-second ads shows baristas opening stores and writing on cups, with a voiceover saying, "The Starbucks you love is back ... hello again."

Last month, Starbucks asked employees to write simple, personalized messages on cups, such as greetings, affirmations, or well wishes for customers.

However, some baristas mentioned that this new practice has slowed down service and felt like a forced way to connect with customers.

The new instructions came as under Niccol, the company had cut back on discounts and promotions to improve profits, CNN reported.

Aside from Starbucks marketing around the Super Bowl at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, the company is also focusing on the upcoming Valentine's Day.

Starbucks introduced two new limited-time drinks to celebrate the season. The company announced that these drinks would be available starting Feb. 4, but only for a limited time while supplies last.

The new drinks include Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Créme Frappuccino and Chocolate Hazelnut Cookie Cold Brew.

In addition to these drinks, Starbucks' Valentine's Day drinkware collection, launched on Jan. 3, was still available for a limited time.

The Valentine's Day-themed drinkware was available in different sizes and prices. The Valentine's Day Cold Cup (24 oz.) features pixelated heart patterns and is priced at $22.95. Another option is the Pink Floral Cold Cup with Straw Topper (24 oz.), which comes with a flower-patterned design and a matching straw topper, available for $24.95.

For those who prefer tumblers, the Hot Pink Heart Tumbler with Charm (12 oz.) offers a vibrant hot pink color with a glossy finish and includes a heart-shaped charm, priced at $27.95.

Furthermore, Starbucks is offering a Valentine's Day Tumbler (16 oz.), which features a heart-themed design. This tumbler is available exclusively at select licensed Starbucks locations in the United States, including stores inside grocery stores, airports, and hospitals, and is priced at $14.95.
