    The Boston Globe announced that 114 people were arrested Saturday (Aug. 15th) at Kenny Chesney’s concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., near Boston, and another 228 were taken into protective custody at the New England Country Music Festival.  Most of the offenses were for underage drinking.  Police decided to crackdown on the musical events because of Chesney’s concert there last year where two women, who were not ticket holders, were killed in a car accident after tailgating in the parking lot.  There were more than 56,000 people at the concert which also featured artists, Sugarland, Montgomery Gentry and Miranda Lambert.  This is the 5th consecutive year that Kenny Chesney’s tour has sold out at this venue.
