Chesney Show Custodies Hit Record Low
The amount of people taken into custody during the annual two days of shows at Gillette Stadium continues to go down.
FOXBOROUGH, MA — It was a new low for custodies at last weekend’s Kenney Chesney shows at Gillette Stadium.
While it wasn’t long ago that police took hundreds into custody during the annual end of the summers shows, that was not the case this year. A total of 123 people were taken into custody during the two shows, according to the Sun Chronicle. Friday had 41 custodies and Saturday had 83. The vast majority were people taken into protective custody with a total of seven arrests Friday and 16 Saturday.
The two shows attracted about 100,000 fans.
