Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) issued a warning a little after 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, asking drivers to avoid the area of 1st Avenue and Yesler Way.

SDOT told drivers to find other ways around the city until the crowd dispersed.
The Seahawks beat the New England Patriots in a 29-13 final score. The teams played at Levi Stadium in San Francisco.
The last time the Seahawks made it to the Super Bowl was in 2015 – also facing the Patriots – but lost because of a final-minute interception.
Seattle won their first Super Bowl the year prior against the Denver Broncos.
