Come join the party from Arlington! We’re streaming coverage of the Rangers parade Friday afternoon.
ARLINGTON, Texas — No surprise here: Texas Rangers fans were READY for the World Series parade Friday.
In fact, they were ready Thursday.
WFAA’s Chris Sadeghi met a crowd of fans already lined up along the parade route, a spot they had been stationed at since 6:30 p.m. Thursday, nearly 18 hours before the parade is set to begin at 12:15 p.m.
The parade is going along a 1.9-mile route from Globe Life Field, past AT&T Stadium and Choctaw Stadium, and then back around to Globe Field Field. Then the team will host a rally and celebration on the north plaza of the stadium, near Texas Live!
Other fans in the area began showing up in the area around Globe Life Field around midnight and all through the early-morning hours.
By the time our WFAA Daybreak crew got set up and ready for the 5 a.m. show, you could barely hear Marc Istook and Greg Fields on location — they were swarmed by screaming Rangers fans, who are still riding the high of the franchise’s first World Series title.
