For Eagles supporters, this chance has been a long time coming: the last time they appeared in a Super Bowl was 2004, when they lost to the Patriots. (The Pats, meanwhile, just took home the trophy [last year and in 2015)](http://time.com/4662514/watch-live-new-england-patriots-super-bowl-2017-victory-parade-boston/) Passionate revelers of both teams took to their cities’ streets after victory was declared, and it was quite a scene. To prepare Philly’s streets for the game aftermath, cops [greased up light poles](http://6abc.com/sports/crisco-poles-did-not-stop-eagles-fans-from-climbing/2976371/) with Crisco in advance, not wanting fans to attempt to climb the poles. But one Eagles fan was so distracted by celebration that he ran into a pole anyway, on a subway platform. > [](https://twitter.com/barstoolsports/status/955272879289102336) Others took advantage of the general chaos to ride on top of cars, do jigs within traffic cones, and generally enjoy the debauchery. > [](https://twitter.com/rickcruelman/status/955317431974682624) > [](https://twitter.com/BlueWaffleIron/status/955273564583800832) > [](https://twitter.com/noits9/status/955285133120196612) > [](https://twitter.com/jewjon/status/955281058873921542) The Patriots, meanwhile, have a whole dance going to mark their return to football’s biggest game. > [](https://twitter.com/thecheckdown/status/955219134496690176) Kickoff for [Super Bowl LII](http://time.com/4993775/what-day-is-the-super-bowl-2018/) is 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb. 4, and it will see the Eagles and Patriots face off at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
