East Rutherford, N.J. – The Summer Jam 2015 concert held at MetLife Stadium last night (Sunday, June 7) saw an unusually high number of disorderly people resulting in the arrest of 61 people and minor injuries to 10 troopers. The majority of arrests occurred because of concert goers climbing fences and trying to push past security at the MetLife entrance gate.
Troopers assisted with closing the gates to restore order. They were briefly re-opened to try to accommodate those with tickets who had not yet entered, but they were closed again when non-ticket holders attempted to push their way in. Some legitimate ticket holders were not able to get into the concert because of the dangerous and illegal actions of others.
