The Jonas Brothers canceled 6 stadium gigs for smaller venues. Now fans are scrambling for new tickets — and they're frustrated.

There's been a slight change of plans for the 'Jonas 20: Living the Dream Tour.' The Jonas Brothers recently announced the cancellation of stadium concerts in six U.S. cities this summer that will instead take place in arenas or amphitheaters. The band of brothers — Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas — has since canceled their scheduled stadium shows in Los Angeles (Dodgers Stadium), Philadelphia (Citizens Bank Park), Detroit (Comerica Park), Dallas (Globe Life Field), Washington, D.C. (Nationals Park), and Chicago (Wrigley Field). The tour has also been renamed from 'Jonas 20: Living the Dream Tour' to 'Jonas20: Greetings From Your Hometown Tour,' after their forthcoming album of the same name. The brothers shared the updated list of tour dates in an Instagram post on June 16. 'We're adding MORE shows to our 20th anniversary tour! This tour is both a celebration of 20 years of making music together and kicking off the next 20 with our new album, making this the most special performance we've ever done,' read the group's Instagram post. 'Bringing you all of your JB favorites both old and new, solo performances from Nick, Joe, DNCE, and The Administration.' The band's latest Instagram post, which also debuted the tour's recently updated name, comes just three days after fans learned about the downsizing of certain venues. 'To the fans, we're so excited to get out and be with you for our 20th Anniversary Tour! Every decision we make is with you in mind, ensuring the best experience for our incredible fans,' the band said in a June 13 social media post. 'We're making some venue changes, to 6 shows only, but rest assured, all performances are still happening on the SAME DATES and in the SAME CITIES. We're pouring our hearts into making this the best tour we've ever done.' Fans who purchased tickets to the now canceled shows will receive a full refund. Fans who bought their initial tickets via Ticketmaster will also get first-priority presale access to tickets for the new venues. Presale tickets will be available on Wednesday, June 18, at 10 a.m. local time. The Jonas Brothers fandom, however, is unimpressed by the turn of events. While fans are disappointed about the sudden change in venues, they've also expressed frustration over how they were notified about it. Some fans claimed that they received emails from Ticketmaster with the word 'Canceled' in bold, before the Jonas Brothers released a statement about what was happening. Having to go through the whole process of purchasing tickets is another reason fans are upset about the change in venues. Some have even decided not to repurchase for the new venue. 'Either transfer the tickets we already have, or make the presale for AFTER we have all gotten our refunds. Most of us (myself included) do not have the extra money right now to spend on MORE tickets,' one fan replied to the Jonas Brothers on X. 'I had row 1 for wrigley and am essentially walking distance from the (former) venue — not only will I not get my refund back in time to try and buy the same tickets again, it'll be against more competition this time and the commute is a hell of a lot longer than I originally signed up for,' another fan wrote on the Jonas Brothers subreddit. Fans also pointed out that some of the rescheduled venues aren't in the same vicinity as the previously-scheduled stadiums. One fan wrote on X, 'the jonas brothers thinking i'd be willing to go back to tinley park to see them as if the year is 2010 again. what happens when they can't sell that out either tinley and chicago are NOT THE SAME CITY!' Added another, 'not the jonas brothers show going from dc proper to goddamn bristow virginia.' Fans are also calling out the timing of the announcement. News of the canceled venues occurred on June 13, the same day the Jonas Brothers released their latest studio album, Jonas Brothers Live From the O2 London. The album's release, they believe, was used to deflect from the band's alleged need to reschedule the six shows due to low ticket sales. One fan noted the supposed irony of canceling stadium shows the same day the live album dropped, writing on the band's subreddit, 'very ironic to me that the same day we get a live album, they cancel all the stadium shows to switch them to arenas. like they knew it'd be a huge disappointment so they snuck it in alongside the new album.' Individually, the brothers have been booked and busy. Joe debuted Music for People Who Believe in Love, his first solo album since 2011, on May 23, while Nick has been starring in the Broadway production of The Last Five Years with Tony-winning actress Adrienne Warren since March 18. As a band, all three brothers are set to release their upcoming seventh studio album, Greetings from Your Hometown, on Aug. 8.

Stats suggest Elgton Jenkins in his prime: Is he right to want contract adjustment?

Stats suggest Elgton Jenkins in his prime: Is he right to want contract adjustment? Elgton Jenkins has been in the spotlight this offseason for various reasons. The Green Bay Packers' most senior offensive lineman is set to move from left guard to center in 2025, taking over for Josh Myers, who departed in free agency. Versatility has always been one of Jenkins' most valuable traits, and he is hoping to parlay the change in role into an updated contract; a situation which is yet to be resolved. But when he has been on the field, what has Jenkins brought to Green Bay? Here is what the stats say about his overall profile since returning from an ACL injury in 2022, mostly playing at left guard: Strengths According to advanced numbers, Jenkins has been one of the most consistently effective pass blockers in the NFL over the last three years. Among qualified guards, he ranks in the 80th percentile in PFF's pass block efficiency (EFF) metric. Even in true pass sets, which are plays without screens, short passes or play action, and are generally more taxing on offensive linemen, Jenkins has excelled, landing in the 70th percentile in EFF compared to his contemporaries. Jenkins ranks in the 75th percentile for sacks allowed per opportunity (SK/OPP), which removes plays involving spikes or penalties. He has allowed just one sack in the last two seasons. Keeping the quarterback clean is the most crucial part of an offensive lineman's job, but allowing them to feel comfortable is also vitally important, and Jenkins has been stingy when it comes to giving up even low quality pressures. He ranks in the 67th percentile in hurries per opportunity (HUR/OPP) since 2022, and allowed less than one hurry per game in 2024. Jenkins has simply been one of the best interior offensive linemen in the NFL when it comes to protecting the quarterback. Weaknesses At least according to the metrics available, Jenkins has no significant weaknesses to his game, which is a huge compliment to his overall ability and consistency. Of the 11 statistics used to build his profile, Jenkins only ranked below average in two of them (more on those later), and neither reached the point of being a legitimate weakness over the last three years as a whole. He is one of the more reliable offensive linemen around. Trending up Even as he approaches age 30, Jenkins has continued to develop his game in recent seasons, improving in a variety of areas, and much of this is likely related to him becoming further removed from the serious knee injury he suffered in 2021. In true pass sets, he went from the 25th percentile in SK/OPP in 2022 to the 86th percentile over the last two years. Jenkins also improved his ranking in HUR/OPP in true pass sets from the 48th percentile in 2023 to the 75th a season ago. He was a stronger pass blocker in 2024 than the previous year by almost every statistical measure. In fact, he was ranked as the best pass blocking guard in the NFL by PFF last season. The Packers incorporated more gap concepts into their run game in 2024, and Jenkins rose to the challenge. After ranking in the 45th percentile in PFF's gap run block grade in 2023, he improved to the 82nd percentile, helping to open holes for Josh Jacobs. Trending down The only two statistics in which Jenkins ranks below average over the last two years are the same ones he has seemingly regressed since 2022. Committing penalties is the weakest part of Jenkins' game, as he ranks in the 36th percentile in penalties per snap over the last three seasons. He graded out in the 58th percentile in 2022; above average, before dropping to the 39th percentile in 2023 and the 11th percentile in 2024. He was flagged ten times last year, which is the highest number since his rookie year and more than his total for 2023 and 2024 combined (nine). Penalties are relatively overrated as a means of evaluating the quality of a player, but they can be massively frustrating and have a real impact on the outcome of a game. Discipline might be something Jenkins needs to work on in 2025 and beyond. This may coincide with the change in emphasis in Green Bay's run game, but Jenkins has actually declined as a zone run blocker since 2022, at least according to PFF's grading. Jenkins ranked in the 82nd percentile in their zone block grade in 2022, which is excellent, but fell to the 40th percentile the following year, and the 10th percentile in 2024, ranking 70th of 78 qualified guards. It will be interesting to see how the transition to center impacts Jenkins' game, but Jenkins appears to be firmly in the prime of his career, and it is understandable he wants an amendment to the contract he signed back in 2022, whether the Packers are willing to oblige is another question.

Matthew Golden: Looking at first-round WR history between 2002 and 2024

Matthew Golden: Looking at first-round WR history between 2002 and 2024 The Green Bay Packers ended a two-decade drought when they took wide receiver Matthew Golden in the first round of the 2025 draft. Golden, the 23rd overall pick, became the Packers' first first-round pick at receiver since Javon Walker in 2002. While the Packers have mostly avoided first-round receivers since the turn of the century, the rest of the NFL has not. Between 2002 and 2024, 94 wide receivers were picked in the first round. Here are some quick and interesting things to know from the first-round receivers drafted between 2002 and 2024: -- By total receiving yards, the top six first-round rookie receivers were all from LSU: Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, Odell Beckham Jr., Brian Thomas, Malik Nabers and Michael Clayton. LSU, Alabama and Ohio State have each had eight receivers picked in the first round since 2002, but in terms of top output, LSU is clearly WRU. Golden is just the third receiver from Texas drafted in the first round since 2002 (Roy Williams, Xavier Worthy). -- The history at No. 23 overall isn't bad. In fact, it's fairly encouraging for instant impact -- with one outlier. Thomas and Jordan Addison both caught 10 touchdown passes as rookies, while Dwyane Bowe had 995 receiving yards. The one disaster at No. 23 was Laquon Treadwell, who had only 15 receiving yards as a rookie and is one of just six first-round picks at receiver since 2002 to had fewer than 100 receiving yards as a first-year player. -- Top production is fairly rare. Only 13 of 94 first-round picks at receiver produced 1,000 or more receiving yards as rookies. And only 18 of the 94 averaged at least 9.0 yards per target. Golden didn't even crack 1,000 yards over 16 games during his final collegiate season. -- Walker, the 20th pick in 2002, had 319 yards during his rookie season in Green Bay in 2002. Overall, 19 first-round picks at receiver had under 300 receiving yards as rookies between 2002 and 2024. -- Only three players picked No. 20 or later (Jefferson, Thomas, Kelvin Benjamin) produced over 1,000 receiving yards as rookies. -- The range of outcomes is immense: Nabers received 170 targets over 17 games as a rookie last year; A.J. Jenkins got just one over three games in 2012. -- Inconsistency and inefficiency are quite possible. Over a third of the 94 first-rounders averaged 7.0 yards per target or less. -- Instant impact is becoming more and more common. Last year, six of the seven first-round receivers saw at least 80 targets. The only exception was Ricky Pearsall, who missed time and only started four games. Golden is entering a fascinating situation as a rookie in Green Bay. Opportunities will be available, but with Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks and Tucker Kraft all returning, it's unlikely Golden will be a top target unless he's a difference-making player right away. And the Packers are going to make Pro Bowl running back Josh Jacobs a focal point on offense once again. It's possible the best-case scenario for Golden as a rookie is that he's an efficient big-play creator who makes the most of his opportunities from Jordan Love. Past examples of hyper-efficient first-round receivers include Lee Evans, who turned 74 targets into 843 yards; Hakeem Nicks, who turned 74 targets into 790 yards; Anthony Gonzalez, who turned 51 targets into 576 yards; and Henry Ruggs, who turned 43 targets into 452 yards. Is Golden one of the rare elite rookies who can instantly be a game-changer? Early returns from Green Bay are encouraging, but it's obviously early. More than likely, Golden will need time to develop behind more experienced options in a diverse passing game and will have average (but preferably efficient) production as a first-year player.
