Pats Fans Party in Boston’s Streets

February 6, 2017

BOSTON — New England Patriots fans have taken to the streets of Boston to celebrate their team’s 34-28 dramatic overtime Super Bowl win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Hundreds of fans gathered late Feb. 5 and early Feb. 6 in Boston Common, a downtown public park.

They were dancing, cheering and chanting “Brady.” Police also were there to make sure the celebrations didn’t get out of hand. There were no immediate reports of any problems and fans were mostly described as being well-behaved.

Democratic Boston Mayor Marty Walsh took to Twitter late Feb. 5 to congratulate the Patriots and announce the victory parade, which is scheduled for Feb. 7.

Boston police tweeted their thanks “to all the fans who acted like champions tonight” and wrote that they would see them again on Feb. 5.
