UPDATE: Eagles championship revelers only create a small ruckus, as reports of arrests and citations come out a day later

They climbed poles - was there any ever doubt that they wouldn't?

Eagles fans are nothing if they are not traditionalists, and even though the city of Philadelphia didn't grease the light poles as it has in the past, pleas from Mayor Cherelle Parker to not climb them in the wake of the death of a Temple student from falling off a light pole two weeks ago fell on deaf ears after the Eagles won Super Bowl LIX 40-22 over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. 

Thousands of Eagles fans took to the streets of Philadelphia, and as is customary, some found light poles to climb. 

Others, maybe trying to heed the Mayor's advice and work as a vigilante group of fans to prevent pole-climbing, took down a pair of light poles on Market Street, East of City Hall. 

There was climbing on top of a newsstand, a box truck and a bus stop. 

The contents of the truck, which was located at 12th and Market, were white towels and linens that were from the Lowes hotel... they were tossed into the crowd and set ablaze, but police quickly extinguished the fire. 

There was an attempt to flip a police cruiser near Broad and Chestnut Streets and there was one report of a man with a broken leg at Broad and Sansom Streets. 

Police had many streets blocked off, keeping the revelry contained to more confined locations. It created a couple anxious crowd control moments - one near City Hall where riot police gathered as fans started pushing against the barricade and were shouting at the police - and there was a report on the East side of City Hall near 13th and Market where officers were reporting the crowd getting unruly, but both temperatures seemed to cool after a little time.

All told, there have been nine arrests reported - five for assaulting police officers. A total of 29 people were cited for disorderly conduct. 

Cleanup crews began to role in during the early morning hours, and fans, who were still partying, climbed on top of those trucks as well. Four trucks were considered "vandalized." 

Eventually, the city sent out a geo-fenced text message after 3AM telling people to disperse so the cleanup could begin in earnest. 

That clean up didn't stop damage from being done to area businesses are four store along Walnut Street were, in fact, vandalized, with windows smashed, and other damage. Two of those businesses were banks.

One report to Philly Daily by someone who had to be at work near Market East at 6 a.m. on Monday said Market Street was "disgusting." 

"There was trash all over, blankets everywhere on the street. It was gross," the person said, who wished to remain anonymous.
