PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ― The discovery of several hot dogs in packages outside Citizens Bank Park brought the bomb squad out and forced the temporary evacuation of the stadium Wednesday evening.
According to police, Pattison Street between Darien and 11th Streets was shutdown as officials investigated the discovery of several suspicious packages near a ticket office.
Fans inside the stadium were evacuated, but players remained on the field during the incident.
Bomb squad members further investigated the packages and determined they were simply several hot dogs in foil wrappers. Sadly, the wieners were detonated as a precaution.
The stadium was reopened at about 5:20 p.m.
"It was clear from when we looked at it at first glance and when you looked at the debris afterwards, there was packaging and duct tape; I don't see many hot dogs sold here with duct tape," Phillies VP of Operations Michael Stiles said. "We just did what we felt was appropriate."
The Phillies take on the Atlanta Braves at 7:05 p.m. on Wednesday evening.
What?.... slow day at work. I am still laughing at the whole concept. "Those hot dogs look dangerous; we better blow them up."
Ahhhh.... Miller Park. I was just there a few weeks ago.
I'd order mine "mushroom pepper American wit" for the authentic experience.
Smiling at you.
Thanks for your service for our country.
