The Pittsburgh Penguins’ parade set records for attendance this year, which is what makes it so shocking that there were so few arrests.
By so few, we mean none.
According to Pittsburgh’s mayor, of the 650,000 people in attendance, none were arrested. To put that in perspective, people were pretty shocked when Nashville had about 50,000 people out and only 11 people were arrested – it’s especially impressive when you consider that the Pens players were partying hard along their routes.
For example, just check out some of these photos from the Penguins players as they made their way through the streets of Pittsburgh.
Well done Pittsburgh, you’ve set the bar for the most peaceful Stanley Cup parade we’ve ever seen. Realistically, this number can’t really be beat if literally nobody was arrested.
