“#Fans party on Tampa streets after Buccaneers’ Super Bowl 55 win”

Fans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers flouted COVID-19 restrictions and flooded city streets Sunday night in a raucous celebration of the team’s Super Bowl LV victory.

The crowd blocked traffic, turning at least one intersection into a dance floor after the hometown Buccaneers’ 31-9 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, according to footage posted to Twitter by Fox 13 reporter Gloria Gomez.

Other rowdy fans hopped atop cars and even a public bus amid the impromptu victory party, according to a photo tweeted by another Fox 13 reporter, Jennifer Holton.

The revelers mainly avoided social distancing and face masks, according to numerous videos posted online.

One person was reportedly arrested for climbing a tree.
