Security official confirms: bomb threat at Wrigley Field. The Giants buses have already left safely.

Police officer says they get dozens of bomb threats a week but "this one is more credible." Bomb-sniffing dogs are on scene.

Cubs just evacuated Wrigley Field press box. Police searching corridors. Bomb-sniffing dogs around. Nobody answering questions.

A few officers outside said they thought players were being evacuated too, along with everybody else. Place was empty walking out. #Cubs

Have texted/called Cubs spokesman for comment, awaiting reply. Police presence still around Wrigley. I'm at Starbucks, writing. Will update.

Wrigley Field is a sacred temple of baseball. In fact, NO public venue of any kind should ever have to go through a bomb threat. Not funny.

Update: The all-clear to re-enter the stadium has reportedly been given.
All clear at Wrigley.
