The city of Boston has scheduled a parade for the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots.
Mayor Martin Walsh's office said the parade will be held Tuesday. It starts at 11 a.m. at the Prudential Center and will end at City Hall.
Fans from Boston to western Massachusetts celebrated the team's latest Super Bowl title raucously Sunday night and early Monday, but without the mayhem that has often followed sports championships.
Crowds of mostly college-aged fans gathered around Boston after the Patriots' 28-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, and although they screamed and chanted, they remained orderly.
Boston police said there were no arrests, adding: "Way to make your team & city proud."
Celebrations at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst were also largely restrained. The campus has had problems with violence at prior sports celebrations.
