Bomb threat prompts officials to search Wrigley

CHICAGO - Wrigley Field opened again Sunday night after a bomb threat prompted police to evacuate the ballpark for about an hour.

The Cubs said they received the threat after Sunday's game and "took swift action to clear the few remaining fans, players, staff and media from the ballpark."

The team said "no evidence was found to suggest this threat was credible," and they would continue working with authorities to find the person who was responsible.

Chicago Police spokesman Thomas Sweeney confirmed the threat, but declined to provide further details.

Security told the media to leave the press box right after the Cubs' 2-0 victory against the Giants, but declined to provide a reason.

Police were seen going through the ballpark with dogs. Authorities also redirected traffic away from a street that runs behind Wrigley.
