As Cubs fans revel, police aim to keep peace — from Wrigley to Taco Bell

Bars emptied moments after the Chicago Cubs clinched their first World Series since 1908 with an 8-7 victory over the Cleveland Indians in Game 7 and many fans moved toward Wrigley Field late Wednesday night.

“The portion of the stadium where the fence is slow, they are climbing into the stadium,” an officer said on Chicago police’s special event’s radio channel.

Minutes after that dispatch, another officer said there were up to 30 people attempting to get into stadium.

Numerous reports about fans climbing light poles in Wrigleyville were reported by officers at the scene and at least one fell down and required medical attention.

A police escort was needed to get electricians to a downed light pole.

Another ambulance was needed for somebody “who just passed out,” a dispatcher said. A pregnant woman complaining of abdominal pain, a man who suffered an asthma attack and a woman who broke her ankle also required medical attention, according to the scanner.

Several people climbed atop a trailer and began "ripping the roofs off ... to get at what's in inside," according to one officer.

There were no immediate information released by Chicago police on the number of arrests. At least three were detailed over dispatch in the two hours after the game concluded.

Police struggled with not only the crowds, but with communicating between dispatch and officers as a mobile communication channel set up went down for several minutes.

Chicago police, bolstered by officer Illinois State Police force, shut down the area surrounding Wrigley Field Wednesday night to vehicular traffic. Public transportation --- including the Red Line stop at Addison Street, the city’s 24-hour train service’s closest stop to Wrigley --- was also cut off or diverted.

There were reports that fans swarming TV trucks from Telemundo and other new outlets near the stadium.

“We need to get people over to the area around Taco Bell where the TV trucks are,” an officer reported. “They’re going to flip one of them.”

Fireworks were set off all over Chicago after the Cubs sealed the Game 7 victory.
