Philadelphia....the parade always goes up Broad Street. However...it's been a long, long, long, long, long, llloooonnnngggg time since we had any need to use it for such an event much to the chagrin of all local residents.

For Orange County, I guess it'd be Katella Avenue, since the Duck Pond and Angel Stadium are pretty much right across the street from one another. From what I remember, they also had the 2002 World Series Parade down Katella.

Chicago would be Division St, and also Clark st in Wrigleyville (the latter depending on the team, of course)

That Vancouver thing looks like kindergarten compared to any football match in Europe. :)

--

For Malmö it would be the area around Möllevångstorget (short: Möllan), when Malmö FF wins a game.

For bigger achievements, such as winning the Premier Division in Sweden, we usually use Stortorget.

What's more, noone was killed in that riot. How shameful.

There's a parade route that doesn't get much use.

It's been how long for the Leafs? Oh yeah, 40 years. 1967!

When UT wins any game 6th street is jumping. But if it's a championship it starts on The Drag (west campus main roadway) and then the party continues to 6th street.

uh here in Philadelphia I forgot since we dont win at anything. Besides murder capital titles.

But I think it used to be South Broad st.
Frankford and Bustleton aves.

50's and Market if it is a Sixers celebration.

Would like to attend 1 more before I die, but that is doubtful.

Sadly, Salt Lake City has never been able to celebrate a championship.

They came close in 1997 (NBA Finals) and '98 (NCAA basketball championship game, NBA Finals), but lost each time.

I don't know where we would celebrate though, since it's never happened. The biggest post-game celebration was unofficial, after the Jazz beat the Houston Rockets in the 1997 Western Conference Finals, 15,000 fans greeted the team at the airport around 3:00 in the morning when they arrived back from Houston. That was nuts, I've never known that many people to go out and greet a team at the airport so early in the morning.

Wish I had photos.
