The Metra was a disaster getting to the Blackhawks parade

The Chicago Metra was packed as a ton of Blackhawks fans were trying to get into the city before the start of the Stanley Cup parade.

A lot of the Blackhawks fans on the train were trying to get a buzz before arriving to the parade, so they started drinking on the Metra.

One rider complained about drunk Blackhawks fans smoking on the train.

For the most part, the Blackhawks fans made it safely to the parade.
