Stadium evacuated and being searched

[morgan2]

Watching college basketball, they just broke in and said the stadium in San Diego that is slated to host a few of the ncaa tournament games today has been evacuated and is being searched. They then switched back to the game in progress. Be AFRAID!

1. Man, this is just so desperate. And you know what, I don't care

if they ever do find something. I'll never be sure my own government didn't plant it.

6. it was a hot dog.

Gee, imagine that. A dog getting excited over a hot dog. Whodathunkit?

“A bomb-sniffing dog noticed something in a hot dog cart,” Beresford said. “They got a hit on something that was in the cart itself. "

12. San Diego arena evacuated before NCAA game

Police evacuated Cox Arena at San Diego State on Thursday, hours before a first-round NCAA championship basketball game, after a bomb-sniffing dog signaled a potential problem at a hot dog stand. Cox Arena at San Diego State University was cleared while police tried to determine if there was an explosive device in the hot dog stand, assistant vice president for marketing and communications Jack Beresford told Reuters.

FBI: No credible terror threat for college basketball tournaments, but vigilance urged
March 10th

The FBI said Friday there is no specific, credible threat of a terror attack aimed at college basketball arenas or other sports stadiums, but acknowledged alerting law enforcement to a recent Internet posting discussing such attacks.
The FBI and Homeland Security Department distributed an intelligence bulletin Friday to state and local law enforcement nationwide describing the online threat against sporting venues, said Special Agent Richard Kolko, an FBI spokesman in Washington. "We have absolutely no credible intelligence or threats pertaining to this issue," Kolko said.

13. Those hot dogs are chock full of nitrates.

Everyone knows that nitrates are a bomb-making ingredient. :silly:

15. They elaborated on the ncaa terror threat

The first time I heard about it was leading up to the tournament. The anouncer stated that on an "islamic message board" someone posted that attacking a sports stadium would be a good idea. This was the entire basis of the threat that the fbi released to the ncaa leading up to the tournament. Its a completely unsubstaniated be afraid tactic. It makes me sick and ashamed everytime one of these fake terror threats come out.

17. I'm one mile from Cox Arena.

And I couldnt care less.
What disturbs me is finding out the CNN's Kyra Phillips is from San Diego and grew up near where I live.
EEEWWWW!!

18. what a suprise they opened the stadium now

there was no bomb after all. I'm flabergasted.. I'm just so relieved there was no bomb I'll forget all about the fact that they evacuated a stadium and made it national news over nothing.

19. i have to say that the kettle corn they pop over at cox is the bomb!

20. CLEAR THE STADIUM!

THERE'S A BOMB IN THE KETTLE CORN!!!!
