THE BRONX (WABC) — There was chaos at Jay-Z’s third and final Yankee Stadium concert after a security breach delayed the show.
Thousands of fans were seen outside the stadium waiting to get inside.
A police source tells Eyewitness News a large group broke through security, prompting a full lockdown of the stadium. For a while, no one was allowed in or out.
“We got here a little after 8, went to Gate 2, they bum rushed Gate 2. Bum rushed. People went past security, were not checked and got into the stadium. They closed down Gate 2, we went to Gate 4, same thing happened,” said Rosalynn Glover, “We were at the suite section, they would not even let us in there. The people working at Gate 4 were laughing. They were taunting us and laughing, which I don’t find funny, when we spend our hard-earned money to be here. I flew in here from Atlanta.”
The concert was scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. The gates reopened shortly before 10 p.m. with police patrolling each entrance. Jay-Z eventually took the stage around 12:15 a.m.
