Phillies Forced To Relocate Fans Near Scoreboard For Emergency Repairs
By Mike Dougherty
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Some baseball fans had to be relocated during the Phillies game last night after a piece of equipment started smoking.
A small motor that operates the protective netting in right field started smoking.
Team officials say a bracket holding the net in place near the scoreboard became partially separated from a support weld, causing the motor to overheat.
Fans in sections 104 and 105 were relocated to different seats as a precaution. Nobody was hurt.
Consultants were called in last night to take a look and structural engineers will be on-site today to oversee the repairs.
