Wrigley Field will host its first World Series game in 71 years Friday evening when the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians play Game 3.

Cubs fans are understandably jacked, and they started filling up bars around Wrigleyville before 8 a.m. CT Friday morning.

Yes, the beers started flowing with more than 12 hours to go before first pitch. Here is some of the scene:

I knew the Cubs in the World Series would be big I'm just not sure we all realized how big. This is this morning at 5:30 am. pic.twitter.com/uqqImiBT5i
