NEW YORK CITY (WABC) — Millions of people are expected to pack the Canyon of Heroes on Thursday morning to celebrate the Knicks, who ended a 53-year title drought and inspired the city during their dominant run through the playoffs.
The NYPD is taking some measures similar to security seen on New Year's Eve in Times Square. All attendees will be screened; no bags will be allowed and pens open at 6 a.m. It's best to show up early before the slated 10 a.m. start.
Also on the list of prohibited items: Pets, strollers, backpacks, coolers and umbrellas.
NYPD officials say there will be more than 10,000 members of the NYPD assigned to this parade, the largest number of officers ever assigned to any planned event.

Many of the millions of fans expected to flood Lower Manhattan on Thursday for the Knicks' ticker-tape parade won't make it in, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch warned Wednesday.
During an interagency briefing with local, state and federal officials, Tisch said the expected attendance will be “in the millions” and will exceed Lower Manhattan's capacity. She warned that people will be redirected or turned away once the viewing pens are full.
The parade “presents an operational challenge on a scale that this city rarely faces,” she said. “We are preparing for enormous crowds in Lower Manhattan, with attendance expected to be in the millions.”
