Hartford Deputy Chief Brian Foley told the Hartford Courant that the crowd was largely comprised of people in their late teens and early 20s, and that tailgating, partying and excessive alcohol consumption was “extremely prevalent.” In addition to Chance, the lineup included Kyle, PnB Rock, and ANoyd.
