(Houston, TX) — Houston police say they’re ready to handle the crowds of sports fans who will head downtown for the World Series this week.
Tens of thousands of baseball fans are expected to fill Minute Maid Park tonight for a watch party as the Astros play the Dodgers in Los Angeles. Later games in the series will be played in Houston.
A police spokesman said Monday the department has experience handling big sports events. Houston has hosted the Super Bowl twice, in 2004 and earlier this year, as well as the World Series in 2005.
