An "intimidating package" containing a goat's head was dropped off at Wrigley Field Wednesday afternoon for Chicago Cubs owner Tom Ricketts.
Staff at Wrigley Field, 1060 W. Addison St., found the package outside Gate K, and when they opened it found a goat's head inside, Cubs spokesman Julian Green said.
Officers responded about 2:30 p.m. to the report of an "intimidating package" and Area North detectives are investigating, police said.
The package, addressed to Ricketts, did not appear to be delivered by the U.S. Postal Service, Green said.
"Tom Ricketts never saw the package," a Cubs spokesperson said in a statement. "Cubs security obviously took it very seriously. They turned it over to police."
Ricketts is currently in negotiations with city officials and neighborhood business people about the $300 million renovation of Wrigley Field.
Chicago legend says a restaurant owner allegedly cursed the Cubs when they wouldn't let his pet goat into Wrigley Field.
