Published
The Buffalo Bisons will play their game as scheduled Friday night after a fire broke out at Sahlen Field earlier in the day.
The Bisons, who are the Toronto Blue Jays' Triple-A affiliate, announced earlier in the day that the fire has been put out and no one was harmed.
Their game against the Indianapolis Indians will take place with sections closed along the right field line.
Michael Schwartz of WKBW reports an ice cream stand caught fire within the building. The fire was extinguished, with the remnants of the stand being removed from the concourse.
The Bisons defeated Indianapolis 4-1 on Thursday.
Sahlen Field opened in 1988 and briefly served as the home of the Blue Jays for portions of the 2020 and 2021 seasons due to Canadian government regulations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
