According to this report from MetroNews, structural inspection is expected Monday on the west grandstand of Wheeling Island Stadium after workers noticed a shift in the concrete structure.
Taking precaution against a potential collapse, police on Friday closed South Penn Street in front of the stadium. A lacrosse match scheduled for the stadium had to be relocated.
Bridgeport has played regular season games there every other year against Wheeling Park for the last several campaigns. Wheeling Island is where the Indians have won their last four state championships, including three straight in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
