Fencing was going up Thursday in Hutchinson Field, the portable toilets had arrived, and workers were tending to the field, which holds 100,000 people. However, two million people are expected to attend the parade.

"The Chicago Police Department is going to have a zero tolerance for alcohol consumption on the public way during this event," Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said on Wednesday. "It's going to be a family-friendly event, and if you're drinking on the street you will be arrested."
...
Grant Park will open at 8 a.m. Friday. Officials say the same team that put together its NATO plan will be involved in this event. There will be bomb-sniffing dogs and officers in uniform and plainclothes, but no metal detectors. Officials said Wednesday there were no known threats to the event.
