The Marching Scarlet Knights are heading from Rutgers' home turf to one of the biggest stages in New Jersey. Rutgers University's 375-member marching band will perform Oct. 12 at MetLife Stadium during halftime of the Giants' game against the Washington Commanders . The seven-minute show will feature music by Michael Jackson, My Chemical Romance and Rush, along with the band's formations on the field. The performance is a revamped version of a show the band previously performed at SHI Stadium in Piscataway.

Somerville library controversy takes another twist

SOMERVILLE - The Somerset County Library System is pushing back on a claim by Mayor Brian Gallagher that it engaged in a "false narrative" about the closing of the Somerville branch. In a statement, the Library System said it had "prioritized transparent and direct communication" throughout the process and had created a webpage to keep residents informed about the situation. The Library System also said that the decision to close the facility on West End Avenue next to Borough Hall on July 31 was "not driven solely by environmental health concerns" but also because it was "functionally inadequate for delivering services" since the closing of the lower level in August 2025. "The situation extends well beyond the presence or remediation of mold," according to the statement. "I'm not going to get into a verbal contest with them," Gallagher said, adding he was looking forward to "re-engaging" with Library System officials after Nov. 30. "We believe that building should be ready for reoccupation shortly," Gallagher said at the Nov. 2 Borough Council meeting, adding, "not that there was anything wrong with it to begin with." Earlier: Somerville library could reopen soon after months-long closure Peter Bromberg is retiring as executive director
