Strangely, this has become something of a common incident in 2018.
In June, a fire broke out at Citi Field, the home of the New York Mets. In August one occurred at the AT&T Park, the home stadium of the San Francisco Giants. Nobody was hurt in either incident.
The Cubs are not hosting a game on Thursday. They’re off and getting ready for a three-game series on the road against the crosstown Chicago White Sox.
