Hot Dogs Force Evacuation At Citizens Bank Park
“Anyone seen my hot dogs?” the Phillies’ Shane Victorino joked with his teammates before Wednesday’s game against the Atlanta Braves.
He garnered a few chuckles, but an hour earlier, no one was laughing outside of Citizens Bank Park.
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.
