A Detroit landmark, Comerica Park is the latest Motown institution to be the subject of a bomb threat.

According to the AP, police say an anonymous caller issued the threat in a 911 call around 8 p.m. Tuesday as the Tigers were hosting the Los Angeles Angels in front of 34,000 fans. No announcement was made, nor was there a call for an evacuation as police searched the ballpark for an explosive device.

Detroit police Sgt. Eren Stephens says no device was found. The threat followed two similar incidents in less than a week that shut down the Detroit-Windsor tunnel and the Ambassador Bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, for hours.

The scare didn't impact the fans or the Tigers. Detroit beat up on the Angeles to to 2. Doug Fister got the win.
