Sept. 26--Police investigated a bomb threat at Wrigley Field on Friday morning, but the Cubs said it was found to be not credible and gates were expected to open on time for the day's game with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Workers at the stadium received the threat by phone around 10:15 a.m., according to Officer Jose Estrada, a spokesman for the Chicago Police Department.
Police officers and at least one K-9 unit were sent to investigate, Estrada said. The team said nothing was found.
"Before our game at Wrigley Field this afternoon, we were notified of a potential bomb threat," the Cubs said in an emailed statement. "After a thorough search by law enforcement, no evidence was found to suggest this threat was credible. Gates will open at 11:20 a.m. as planned."
The Cubs host the Pirates at 1:20 p.m. If the Cubs win, they will clinch their first National League playoff berth since 2008.
