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

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.

All clear at Wrigley.
