A little over two hours prior, the Chicago Transit Authority had announced that Red Line trains would be bypassing the Addison station in the ballpark neighborhood known as Wrigleyville. Several buses were also rerouted. ?As the celebration progressed, thousands of fans crowded the streets leading away from Wrigley, many of them singing We Are the Champions.Fans hugged one another, many of them crying. They took each others picture and pictures of themselves. They took turns writing their names and words of congratulations in chalk on Wrigleys brick walls. Some hopped on friends shoulders to find spots high up on the walls that were not yet covered with names of fans.According to ESPNs Michele Steele, about 25 to 30 people sneaked into Wrigley Field by climbing the wall. Major League Baseball and the Cubs were made aware.An hour after the game ended, thousands of people remained in the ballpark neighborhood, and fireworks still exploded every few minutes.This was torture, said Mike Delmanowski, a lifelong Cubs fan who flew to Chicago from California just to be surrounded by other Cubs fans.
