An estimated 500,000 fans packed into Arlington’s entertainment district on Friday to celebrate the World Series champion Texas Rangers with a historic victory parade. Fans began to grab their spots Thursday evening, and the parking lots were filled by Friday morning. Crowds were 20 people deep in places and some stood on bench or climbed trees to get a view.
