Mayor Quinton Lucas is questioning whether his city will ever host another public celebration like Wednesday’s.
“I’d be lying to you if I didn’t say that we’ll probably evaluate in the event that we’re blessed to have another #SuperBowl Championship,” Lucas said Thurs AM, questioning whether future gatherings would need to be held at a stadium or other location where attendees would be wanded at security checkpoints.
