Patriots fans flood the streets of Boston, climb light posts to celebrate Super Bowl LIII win
New England Patriots fans know every Super Bowl win is special. Despite seeing their favorite team win its sixth Super Bowl in the last 17 years, Patriots fans celebrated like it was the first.

Boston Common was a popular destination.

Boston police estimated 6,000 students flooded Boston Common, according to Eli Rosenberg of NBC 10 in Boston.
As expected, Patriots fans made sure to give praise to quarterback Tom Brady.

Based on at least one video, Boston police may have forgot to grease up light posts around the city.

In fairness, it’s not like that worked for Philadelphia Eagles fans last year.
If Super Bowl LIII MVP Julian Edelman gets his way, Patriots fans will have to make sure they are fully recovered by Tuesday. The Patriots will hold their Super Bowl parade that day, and Edelman wants to see “record numbers at the parade.”

The last Patriots Super Bowl parade drew over 1 million people, so fans will have their work cut out for them. Knowing the Super Bowl could have been Rob Gronkowski’s final game could be the deciding factor for some fans on the fence.
If this truly is the final time Gronk celebrates a Super Bowl win, those fans can’t afford to miss out on the festivities.
