Security Tightens Around Wrigley Field

(CBS) – No surprise: Security was extra tight around Wrigley Field Friday, as Game 3 of the World Series drew near.

More than 1,000 law enforcement officials were bused in from Soldier Field and Chicago Police Department headquarters to flank the Friendly Confines.

The Chicago Cubs also hired at least four bomb-sniffing dogs to wander through the crowds.

Streets could be shut down as the innings come to a close. Barricades were expected.

"It's going to be crazy," Cleveland Indians fan Terry Walker says. "This place is gonna be packed, so I came up here early."

The Cubs and the Cleveland Indians are tied 1-1 in the series.
