The Chicago Cubs are holding their victory parade to celebrate their first World Series title in 108 years, and the entire city is amped.

The celebration includes a parade that will end with a huge rally at Grant Park prompting thousands of people to crowd around the entrance in what can only be described as joyous chaos.

NBC Chicago captured a video of the gates of the park opening to the public, which caused a stampede of people rushing to enter security lines.
