Cubs fans were excited about the team's win against the Pirates Wednesday -- but a few people ended the night in handcuffs.
Chicago police said nine people were arrested for misdemeanor crimes n Wrigleyville. Another 12 received tickets.
Some fans feared that celebrations might get out of hand.
"I hope we can have as much fun as we can without people being stupid," said Cubs fan, Whitney Smith.
Many people were seen cheering underneath the Wrigley Field marquee sign at the corner of Addison and Clark.
On Monday, some Wrigleyville business owners met with fire and police on Monday to lay out a plan ahead of the celebrations.
Alderman Tom Tunney said Tuesday that bars and restaurants in the Wrigleyville area will have additional security and will use plastic cups instead of glass.
Police said in a statement that they "have implemented enhancements to the deployment and without going into specific numbers, we're prepared from a resource perspective to keep everyone safe to celebrate a Cubs win."

The security precautions came after hundreds of Chicago Blackhawks fans took to the streets to celebrate the team’s Stanley Cup victory in 2013, breaking down police barricades, setting off fireworks and shattering storefronts. Nearly two dozen people were arrested in the celebration.
