Rioting has been reported at a concert at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.
According to multiple reports, the Hot 97 Summer Jam concert grew rowdy Sunday night, prompting State Police to use tear gas outside the gates, the Asbury Park Press reported.
A state police armored vehicle tear gassed the crowd because concert goers, angry the gates were closed, threw bottles, the Asbury Park Press said.
State Police officers were wearing riot gear and had their batons out, according to NBC New York. NBC New York reported tasers may have been used.

NJSP STATUS update from Metlife concert tonight in East Rutherford
New Jersey State Police
Statement regarding tonight’s Summer Jam concert at MetLife stadium.
This evening, security personnel at one of the entrance gates to MetLife Stadium were confronted by crowds attempting to illegally enter the sold out Summer Jam concert by climbing over fences and forcing their way through security personnel. The gates have been shut and troopers on site have called for assistance from several nearby stations to help maintain order.
Troopers and stadium security officials are insisting that all people outside of the gates depart the MetLife grounds to avoid congestion when the concert lets out. There is no number of arrests available at this time

So this was a massive number of people trying to break into a “concert”?
Had to be Amish with all that clip-clop.
Their music can be real barn-burners. But they'll have a new one built for ya by dinner time tomorrow
The Music’s not bad, either:

That was WELL DONE. BTW, I was so pissed when I saw that the mods took down your second attempt to post this story... I went and had to give it a go.
Oh well... my attempt was pulled as well... this thread will undoubtedly be next.
Happened right before James Taylor was coming on.
If `Sweet Baby James’ was getting ready to do `Fire and Rain’ for the one-billionth time, I can understand their consternation.
