The city of brotherly love is now home to the NFC Champions. On Sunday night, the celebrations were epic.

"My friends all went down to Broad Street last night to party. I think one of them was on the poles, too," said Lucas Dimayuga.

The biodegradable grease used by Philadelphia police to coat the light poles didn't prevent the bravest of revelers from giving it a shot.

"The energy was amazing, it's definitely a Philly thing. That's all I can say," said Drexel freshman Amina Ibrahim

"You don't know how hard these are to come by," said Jean, pointing to her 8-foot blowup Eagles player.

"Eagles being in the Super Bowl is just unbelievable and our little part of it is just our neighborhood contribution," said Craig.

The neighborhood feel across Philadelphia is a little bit stronger today. Our bond strengthened behind a common goal.

"It lifts up the whole spirit of the whole city," said Kelly Harris.
