At least, that's the case when the Boss is Bruce Springsteen and his office is an arena filled with tens of thousands of fans. On Sept. 14, Springsteen and the E Street Band played a four-hour-plus show at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., [the *Sun Chronicle* reported](http://www.thesunchronicle.com/news/local_news/stadium-pays-up-for-boss-working-overtime/article_e1d49326-3eae-565b-a44e-b80af636338f.html). As his fans danced in the dark to "Born to Run" and "Rosalita," the Boss played a show that extended past the town's curfew of 11:30 p.m., racking up a $22,249 overtime fine for Gillette Stadium. The stadium paid up soon after the show, according to town manager Bill Keegan. In anticipation of a lengthy set from the rocker, who is famous for his marathon concerts, Foxborough had already extended its curfew, from 11:15 to 11:30 p.m. But the concert at Gillette finished at 11:56 p.m. -- likely due to the fact the 7:30 show got off to a late start, at 7:53 p.m. ***Read More*: [Bruce Springsteen Tickets Are Already Going for $10,000 on Stubhub](https://money.com/bruce-springsteen-stubhub-expensive/?iid=sr-link1)** Springsteen's show at Gillette was the last on the River Tour, which commemorates the re-release of the Jersey Shore rock icon's 1980 album. So far, it's been one of the most lucrative music tours of the year, generating $171 million in the first half of the year alone, [according to *Forbes*](http://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2016/07/21/13578/#728df86e15fc). The tour also made headlines in April, when [Springsteen canceled an April show](https://money.com/springsteen-cancels-concert-north-carolina-protest-anti-gay-bill/?iid=sr-link2) in Greensboro, N.C. in protest of the state's HB2 bill. The legislation prevents towns from passing anti-discrimination rules and makes transgender people use the bathroom that corresponds with their birth gender. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/bruce-springsteen-concert-fine/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Lifestyle", "item": "https://money.com/lifestyle/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Live Events", "item": "https://money.com/live-events/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Bruce Springsteen's 4-Hour Long Concert Racks Up Stadium Fine" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/bruce-springsteen-concert-fine/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/bruce-springsteen-concert-fine/", "name": "Bruce Springsteen's 4-Hour Long Concert Racks Up Stadium Fine", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2016-09-23T14:21:21.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/bruce-springsteen-concert-fine/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/bruce-springsteen-concert-fine/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2016-09-23T14:21:21.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "Bruce Springsteen's 4-Hour Long Concert Racks Up Stadium Fine", "articleSection": "Lifestyle", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2016/09/gettyimages-605876426.jpg", "width": 3504, "height": 2501, "caption": "Bruce Springsteen In Concert At Gillette Stadium" } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Kerry Close", "url": "https://money.com/author/kerry-close/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/kerry-close/#author", "sameAs": [ "https://x.com/kerryclose" ] } ], "publisher": "https://money.com/#organization", "datePublished": "2016-09-23T14:21:21.000Z", "description": "Bruce Springsteen's four-hour concert caused Gillette Stadium to pay a more than $22,000 fine for breaking curfew.", "abstract": "Bruce Springsteen's four-hour concert caused Gillette Stadium to pay a more than $22,000 fine for breaking curfew.", "@id": "https://money.com/bruce-springsteen-concert-fine/", "inLanguage": "en-US", "dateModified": "2016-09-23T14:21:21.000Z", "wordCount": 271, "keywords": [ "Bruce Springsteen", "Concert", "Music", "pubdesk" ], "about": [ { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Lifestyle", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifestyle" ] }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Live event support", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_event_support" ] } ] } ] } ```
