• NATP Challenges Vanderbilt's $11B Ticket Study, Warns Resale Caps Could Backfire (ticketnews.com) — Massachusetts residents who buy concert tickets for Gillette Stadium and other venues could feel real effects from a proposed state cap on ticket resale prices and fees. A national ticketing trade group is pushing back on research that supports such limits, warning lawmakers that strict caps might shrink resale options, reduce competition, and even raise some prices despite promises of big consumer savings.
   

• Patriots' Latest Injury Setback Could Put More Pressure On Drake Maye (nesn.com) — Sunday's Patriots game at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough could put even more on rookie quarterback Drake Maye's shoulders, with key backfield teammates banged up. Fullback Reggie Gilliam missed Thursday's practice, Rhamondre Stevenson is still limited, and Mack Hollins remains out, raising questions about how effectively New England can run the ball and protect Maye against the Raiders.
