Looks like there's a fire at/near Memorial Stadium right now.

Fire at Memorial Stadium
Yeah lots of smoke. Someone on reddit listening to a scanner says there's a water main break as well and trucks are going to horseshoe
Edit:
Second edit: Heard from someone that a lawnmower caught fire under the horseshoe.

That's a hell of a way to try to get Friday's game postponed
It’s out. Lawnmower caught the stadium on fire. Sprinklers are still going off though
I think the plan was:
Step 1: Have a great season, creating high expectations for 2023.
Step 2: Use those expectations for 2023 to sell 10,000 new season tickets
Step 3: Have a great start to the season, getting us to a new high of enthusiasm and national attention not seen in this generation
Step 4: Start a mower on fire to destroy the SEZ horseshoe which most people hate
Step 5: Use unfortunate accident and enthusiasm from step 3 to get a new seating area for free through donations of our ravenous fan base
Whoever started the mower fire didn't get the memo.
Seriously though, hope no one was hurt!

We have grass practice fields, grass around the stadium….
Can we get the insurance company to pay for the horseshow renovation? Like a good neighbor State Farm is there.

Is this too edgelordy?
And the horseshoe is steel and concrete

And who took my obsessive and repetitive posts about how much I hate the Horseshoe and let themselves be radicalized?!

The mowing crew that mows all the grass areas for Athletics stores their mowers under the horseshoe and other equipment. Have for decades
Eye witnesses have provided video evidence of the lawn mower:
