Another fan shared a video recorded outside the venue after the evacuation, saying they "did not know" whether they could return inside.

"We are thankful for the efforts of the Milwaukee Police Department and our customers and staff for their safe and orderly exit," the statement said.

The police have not provided further details about the threat.
