SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco Giants fans are already grabbing prime viewing spots for the team’s victory parade through downtown.

Dozens of fans in Giants gear set up chairs behind barriers along Market Street by 6:30 a.m. Friday, 5 1/2 hours before the parade starts.

Police estimate up to 2 million people could turn out to cheer the World Series champions despite what is forecast to be a rainy day.

The parade featuring double-decker buses for the players and floats of the Golden Gate Bridge will end at City Hall, where Mayor Ed Lee will honor the team with an onstage ceremony.

City Hall has been decked out in orange and black Giants banners.
