Following a tragic incident during the last Eagles victory celebration that resulted in a fatality and injuries, Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker issued a critical warning to fans ahead of Super Bowl LIX, urging them not to climb light poles or any city structures.
Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker issued a stern warning to Eagles fans ahead of Super Bowl LIX, urging them to refrain from climbing light poles or any other city structures after the last victory celebration resulted in a fatality and multiple injuries. The Eagles are set to face the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night in a rematch of Super Bowl LVII, and Philadelphia officials have made it clear they are prepared for the potential influx of revelers.
Parker's plea comes after the tragic death of Tyler Sabapathy, an 18-year-old Temple University student-athlete, who succumbed to injuries sustained after falling from a light pole during the celebration of the Eagles' NFC Championship win. Sabapathy was rushed to the hospital in critical condition but ultimately passed away. Adding to the concern, at least three others were injured when a driver plowed into a group of pedestrians following the playoff game at Lincoln Financial Field. Mayor Parker emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating, 'Don't climb light poles or anything else,' and imploring Philadelphia residents, 'Please, Philadelphia, I implore you as your mayor, do not climb light poles or anything else.' She warned that such actions could 'lead to tragedy.' With the city bracing for a large crowd, Police Commissioner Kevin J. Bethel assured the public that the Philadelphia Police Department is taking a proactive approach, stating, 'Our officers will be out in full force across the city, ready to keep the festivities running smoothly.' The Eagles and Chiefs' game will be broadcast on FOX, with coverage starting at 1 p.m. ET, and can be streamed live for free on Tubi
