I don't get why you would celebrate a winning team that wasn't from your hometown.

It’s because the building (and a lot of Manhattan) see themselves as representing “the US”, not NYC locals. Same reason why they light up with US President winners even if they’re massively unpopular in NYC.

The Super Bowl is a national event so they’ll celebrate whoever wins just like Qatar lit up their skyscrapers with Argentina even though Qatar did terribly

They do it for every team regardless of location. Surprisingly wholesome, really.
