On Sunday, New York City’s Yankee Stadium was certainly a concrete jungle where dreams are made of — at least, for the thousands of Jay-Z fans who waited hours to see the rapper take the stage for the third and final night of his residency there.
A four-hour delay caused the show to kick off around 12:15 a.m., instead of the scheduled 8 p.m.
In a joint statement, Roc Nation and Yankee Stadium told Business Insider that “hundreds of individuals in large groups — who did not have tickets to tonight’s performance — stormed over peaceful ticketholders, and in some cases, breached security,” which led to the gates being closed for “an extended period of time.”
Pusha T and Malice, as Clipse, performed “Grindin’.”
