Elated fans in Baltimore and disappointed fans in San Francisco spilled into the streets of both cities after a tight finish in Super Bowl XLVII. Scattered violence was reported in both places.
In San Francisco, people threw bottles at police officers in the Mission District after the 49ers lost to the Ravens, police told NBCBayArea.com. At least 25 people were arrested, mostly for being drunk.
News helicopter footage in Baltimore showed jubilant fans pouring out of bars and restaurants after the Ravens won 34-31. In the Federal Hill neighborhood, people pulled a street sign out of the ground and smashed the windshield of a news van, NBC affiliate WBAL reported.
WBAL video also showed a fan doing chin-ups on a metal bar attached to a utility pole, losing his grip and tumbling onto a lower street sign.
The celebration in Baltimore appeared mostly peaceful, if rowdy. Police told NBC News they knew of no major Super Bowl-related problems.

Baltimore Ravens fans celebrate in the streets in downtown Baltimore after their team won the NFL football Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers on Feb. 3, 2013.
The flare-ups in San Francisco were a far cry from October, when the hometown Giants won the World Series and vandals set fires, broke windows and torched a city bus.
This time, Mayor Ed Lee worked with police, fire officials and bar owners to prevent a repeat. He asked bars not to serve hard alcohol and to cut customers off when they got too drunk, NBCBayArea.com reported.
“It’s nowhere compared to the Giants,” Officer Carlos Manfredi said.
Super Bowl violence was not limited to the two cities with stakes in the game. In Miami Gardens, the Miami suburb where the Dolphins play, a man was gunned down in a front yard outside a Super Bowl party, NBCMiami.com reported.
In New Orleans, where the game was played, fans swarmed onto Bourbon Street, but the celebration there also appeared peaceful. On the night before the game, a pickpocket grabbed seven Super Bowl tickets from the back pocket of a man leaving Harrah's casino,NBC affiliate WDSU reported. Police were reviewing surveillance video.

You lost get over it!
The RAVENS won because the REFS handed it to them in the end due to not calling the holding call !!!.......... I would be Upset too!...............The Ref who saw the play and did not call it was most likely either a Ravens fan or was betting on the game or on the take!!............. The Ravens had to have someone CHEAT for them in order to WIN.....I counted at least 8 no calls that favored the Ravens in the first half alone!!!!......... They may be Champions now , But they are LOSERS in the END !!!......Next year they will not even make the playoffs. .........So much for the Birdbrains....NEVERMORE!!!!! PLUS.... R. Lewis got away with murder and antler spray....what a smooth criminal all this makes him!
Nobody cares what you think.
It's a wonderful world...
I knew someone was going to bring that up, He was not holding him. You lost, we won, get over it! GO RAVENS!!!!!!!!!
I'm just glad that Ray SLASH Lewis is retiring. His claim to fame is having been aquitted of murder and some stupid hemoroidal dance.
I'm sure glad CBS didn't politicize this Super Bowl. The Sandy Hook kids did awesome. However, no agenda there or anything.
IFL.....WTF? over...those guys were mugging each other all nite, the refs let em play, its was a good game...except for the politics of the sandy kids being there....can't keep politics out of anything...
25 arrested? big deal, how many got picked up in YOUR hometown last night? Hell we probably had that many dui's alone last night. and we are talking a town of 45-50K here.
perspective people.
This is why they need to ban sports world-wide. Everyone is a poor sport. If you win you rub it in, if you lose you say the other team won due to a technicality. None of you are bright enough to behave in any sort of adult manner. Go to any little league game and you'll see the same douchebaggery we see displayed both at professional games as well as on the message boards.
F. Walsh
BAN IT
would look good tattooed on your forehead....just a suggestion.
You obviously don't know the rules. Regardless of illegal contact, if the ball is UNCATCHABLE then there is no call to be made. The ball was way over his head and out of bounds.
Stop whining and get over yourself.
Not to mention there was A CRAZY late hit on flacco that should have been called the previous possession and it wasn't, so the refs were pretty fair both ways.
Hope the guy who owns that car has a special "riot" insurance policy. if not he will be screwed. Most " no fault" or "mayhem" polices don't cover damage caused by riots. Even if they cant weasel out of paying, his premiums just went through the roof.
Cripes!!! We are becoming just like Canada!
Takenaka, is that you?
GM Bill and Scooter
Ya never know with that inscrutable Takenaka! When you least expect it; expect it. LOL he keeps getting closed out on most of his litany and rants to ban things.
Wow!
Scooter, DB, mpa, and Jack all in the same group... we should party! All we need is CD.
Hope all you guys were satisfied with the game.
GA Mimi
Did not watch too much as it is on 1 hr later here (AST vs EST) and I arise pretty early here. However, every thing I read spoke a a thrilling game - even Scooter was impressed with the half-time shows! :>)
How about you?
Not a sports fan, Jack. Didn't matter to me one way or another. If one of the Southern states is in the game I root for them but that's the extent of my interest.
It irritates me to read of vandalism following a sports event, though. Just don't see the logic to that.
People are fricken idiots. Your team loses so you try to trash your own town??? That doesnt even make sense.
Maybe it's a west coast thing? Vancouver did it a couple years ago when their hockey team lost in the finals. Well, west coast and Philadelphia's car flipping riots. XD
I do not condone in any way. But, it does make it less embarrassing to be a Phillies fan.
Well. at least its better than Egypt did after soccer game....it was only 25 people, heck, i've seen that many arrested at tractor pull at a county fair...and that was just one family!
NJK85
Just 0bamaniacs acting normal.
Why can't you zealots keep politics out just once?? Get a fricken life!!!!!
NJK85 : Another Obama hater that just know that all this damage was caused by Obama. What a fool you are. What the hell did Obama have to do with it?? Fools blame every little thing regardless of what happens on Obama. Why on earth do they have so much hate in their heart so much it makes them too dangerous to own a gun.
So after ranting on about staying on subject simply because someone dissed your "Messiah" you post....
Pot meet kettle
Terry
F. U.
Clayton- I didnt say anything about Obama. I was being quoted on someone elses comment and then they tried to blame it on Obama LOL. Your forgiven for being an idiot....
San Fransisco fans for the most part,are the worst,as far as losing is concerned,and they are not gracious winners either!
Frisco doesn't realize you are only supposed to do that if you Win.
Geez right? I mean, all 25 drunk people city-wide. Let's see... divide five by 812,826 carry the one and... I can't actually express that as a fractional percentage without using an exponent.
Yeah, what a bunch of losers we are.
exactly use a bit of perspective people this is overblown media hype.
This was life when the Harbaughs were boys:
Dad: How did your team do John?
John: We lost.
Dad: Aw. Well darn. That's too bad. How did Jim's team do?
John: They lost too.
Dad: Oh sh**.
so... whats a "Muni bus"? lol
It is a San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency bus. Google it.
a van on steroids.
assault weapons made them do it.
your mom made them do it
And that was just as intelligent a comment...
GodOfFate
MORON!
Oh, your welcome Terry.
TerrytheTexasIdiot...
F.U. too!!
This is a poor reflection on San Francisco as a whole. Its reputation was already in the toilet. Not only is it an ugly city on the surface, but its morlock like inhabitants are ugly as well.
Where are you from, LA?
LA is even worse.
Sports has ruined the United States. Let's finish all sports. See what happens when you're raised to react to stuff like this? Humans turn into monkeys. Sports is sadly ending the great US as we know it.
Let me guess, you had some major bucks on the 49er's right?
He's just the kid that was always picked last.
Oh No ..GASP, a kid who got BULLIED? he didn't get an "also played" award ? heaven forbid....eeekkk scared for life, get em some help, somebody DO something....( running around in circles screaming)
Yes--Yes, We should all be winners and trophies for everyone even the spectators. No one should ever have to have the pain of losing or failing. What a happy--happy world we would all have. Of course the down side is that we would never get anything accomplished, but hey what the heck. Instant gratification is better I guess.
Jim -
I'm with you: Ban all sports. If we save one window, isn't it worth it?
(Can I get my trophy now?)
Yep...but who wants it? After all a "BAN" it trophy Is just a can of anti-deodorant glued to a board.
Just so no gay people got beat up why would this rag care?
San Francisco fans don't know misery like Detroit Lion fans. Last Lion championship was 1957. I think you call it Super Bowl minus VII or VIII or something like that.
Dumb @!$%#s, its only a @!$%#ing game.
Two different kinda game's... in one MyJohnson would care.
Drunk slobs will find any reason to riot. What a bunch of scum bags. Says allot for your beer ads.
When the home team wins, drunks and deviants have an excuse to riot. When the home team loses, drunks and deviants have a reason to riot. It's a win-win for them.
This certainly isn't as bad as the usual riots. 25 arrested and not much damage.
If this was a soccer riot in some other country, 25 arrested and 'scattered violence' would be a best case scenario.
Comeing soon to an area near you. And you know why.
Pepper Spray and Tase everyone in San Francisco. Keep them in line. Ban all Alcohol
So crazy how the 99% destroys other 99% property when their 1% football team looses.
25 drunken arrest. hell thats nothing. you can see stories having much worst outcomes after Katrina flooded New Orleans. and that was a brawl, untill the looters dried out the supplies.....
Stupidity. Arrest these idiots and lock them up for 10 years or more.
For drunk and disorderly? murders, rapist's and child molesters don't do that much time.
Yep for drunk and disorderly. For those other criminals you mention death is the better the option.
Truth,
That's just a stupid comment. 10 years for drunk and disorderly? OK, but you pick up the tab.
truthcomeshere Are you going to pay for their jail cell food & health care?
Ever here of chain gangs? Perhaps putting them to work fixing some of our roads and other things would help keep THOSE bills down, then the cost of incarceration is put into a better perspective. It would probably also help to keep these idiots who don't show much respect for others property in check. Don't be afraid to punish people for their stupid acts. We incarcerate marijuana users, and now it looks like Obamacare may make criminals out of some as well as the "executive orders" on gun control being pushed by Mr. Obama. So we will ALL pay for our prison system one way or the other. Might as well get used to paying for it and figure out a way to recoup those losses.
sorry libs outlawed them years ago.
And cost Union jobs? ...now that's just silly.
truthcomeshere Chain gangs? LOL LOL Incarceration for everyone thats your answer. In your posts today 18 18.2 & 18.5 has you sounding like the taliban. I feel sorry for you.
IA - Yeah, you can blame the liberals of many of this countries problems for sure. As far as union jobs, well as we all know unions are declining for a reason.
smitty - You call me what you want or compare me anyway you like it doesn't matter. There is a reason that prison is a revolving door for many criminals. When prison time has a bite to it then you might actually see it less utilized as an option. No need to feel sorry for me you should feel sorry for those that commit crimes and do the time. But hey, since YOU don't like chain gangs then YOU will be paying for this revolving door mentality criminals have so don't complain about your rising taxes in that regard.
truthcomeshere Are all criminals mentality criminals? What is a mentality criminal? Who is the real criminal here and who poses the biggest threat to society? A cop on the take or someone who uses marijuana and goes to work and pays taxes.
Lets face the facts. San Francisco forgot to show up for the first half. It is there own fault that they lost.
Typical SF fans making excuses they got beat Deal with It. Take the Alcohol away from these people and the Violence and Juvenile behavior would stop. "Try Cannabis instead"
Or....and i am just snowballing here.....avoid both and try a shot of reality? seams most people today need more then one shot of it. Ya see back in my day we had this thing called personal responsibility....it was murdered. And in its stead was replaced by a critter called P.C. . it don't work mind ya, but it makes its founders and followers "feel good" and gives a modicum of accomplishment to those who otherwise wouldnt have any at all..
In a plethora of reports on acts of stupidity being documented in this news account, for me, one that stands out is the person who lost their Super Bowl tickets to a pick pocket who grabbed them out of his back pocket. I'm sorry, but WHO is foolish enough to put ANYTHING of value in their back pocket?? I learned at a very young age to NEVER put anything of value in my back pocket...in fact, it seems to me that one need not actually learn this truth as it should be common sense. I have ALWAYS kept valuables (such as my wallet) in my front pocket, and I have never lost a thing or had it stolen from me there...EVER! This is indeed a head-scratcher.
as a kc chief fan I was pulling for Baltimore, however if they lost I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. The Refs did a good job. More penalties could of been called on both sides but the refs decided to let the teams play. San Fran fans, get over it. Your team lost. It's heart breaking but just the same move on. It wasn't the refs fault. Its OK to be upset, hurt, mad for 24 hours but after that life goes on. You have a good team and on paper should of won this game. Good luck next season. I hope my Chiefs at least make the playoffs.
well they tried to help the niners,,,,,,a sudden poweroutage...hummmmmm
New Orleans is doing their best to not mention that little factoid. wonder why? Bad press perhaps? They claimed it was a power surge from outside the dome, sure it wasn't an overload on the system after a good halftime show ( for once) Don't care much for Beyonce but it was a good show. I dont know what went down but would like to.
It was a good game, nail biting ending and very entertaining. and really folks isn't that what it's all about?
yes it is...it was a great game despite the power outage...and some great commericals...thats what its about
And the half time was good. Brilliant lighting effects. Pretty ladies, Whats not to like? Didn't care for the music but it was a feast for the other sense's. I just wonder if it wasn't somehow related to the outage, I don't know i am not an electrical engineer.
And let's not forget Beyonce. Schwing!
Agreed, ScooterTramp! :) I'm a big 49ers fan, but even GETTING to the Superbowl this year was an amazing accomplishment for us and I for one could care less that we didn't win the title. The last half of the game was close and very competitive, as it should be! That's why we have the saying "We'll get 'em next year!"
No reason to get so upset about it, people!! Don't bet money you can't afford to lose, and remember that it's not YOUR fault they lost! (unless you forgot to wear your lucky undies, then it's TOTALLY your fault and I guess you should be upset! lol)
Agreed NJK85!!
Jane is another one that is a Obama hater and thinks the unrest was Obamas fault in San Fran_— allthe bad is Obamas fault and all the good is the 10% approval congress doings Another moron that aoves to hate.
What would you expect, it was Baltimore and San Francisco!
It doesn't matter who was playing, the game was a good one.
