Shortly after the final seconds ticked off the clock, fans began to stream out of bars and went to areas such as Boston Common before reaching the Boston Marathon finish line.

Police cruisers stopped traffic near the finish line as the fans moved through the area.

Boston police, who urged residents in tweets to "make our city proud," reported that fans celebrated in a "smart, responsible & respectful manner."

After the victory, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh said the city is ready for a parade, tweeting "cue the duck boats."

The top of the Prudential Center was lit up red, white and blue after the game.

Hundreds of students from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst are participating in a boisterous but peaceful celebration of the New England Patriots' Super Bowl victory.

University spokesman Edward F. Blaguszewski says 600 to 800 students gathered near a courtyard where dormitories are located Sunday night. He says there was "a loud, boisterous celebration" with shouting, some water bottles being tossed and a few students climbing trees.

Campus police arrested one person for disorderly conduct.

Last week, university officials announced dormitories would be closed to off-campus visitors during the Super Bowl. The campus previously had been the scene of violent celebrations during other championships by Boston teams.
