A 200-pound female black bear got stuck inside the University of Tennessee's baseball stadium Sunday, prompting wildlife officials to respond and help her back to her territory.

The bear was found wandering around the Knoxville campus' Lindsey Nelson Stadium, officials said. A campus police officer notified the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency about the bear around 4 a.m., saying the animal had become stuck inside the venue.
