Inglewood, Calif. — A seemingly innocent cardboard tray of chicken fingers played a pivotal role in making LA Clippers history at their new Intuit Dome arena. Chris, a stealthy Phoenix Suns supporter, had hatched a plan, attending the arena’s opening night, poised to infiltrate “The Wall!”—a section dedicated exclusively to die-hard Clippers fans. Concealing a Kevin Durant jersey beneath the tray, Chris ventured into the carefully guarded fan zone. Yet, his efforts were thwarted, marking him as the first fan expelled from The Wall! in its history.
The Wall! is a 4,500-seat, vertiginous area purely for Clippers enthusiasts, positioned behind one basket. Entering this realm requires passing a fandom test, and any display of rival allegiance, like Chris’s sneaky jersey swap, is strictly prohibited. Despite his cunning initial entry, Chris’s attempt was swiftly halted by attentive ushers, leading to a courteous relocation to more welcoming seating.
Meanwhile, the Clippers embraced advanced technology, employing Face ID for fan verification, ensuring unwavering support within The Wall!’s confines. However, not all invaders faced banishment—the innocence of a 2-year-old with mixed allegiances charmed the guards, earning him a pass.
This stringent yet playful approach ensures The Wall! remains a fortress of Clippers pride, ready to weather future challenges from bold fans like Chris or the unsuspecting Steve and Ashley. As the Intuit Dome ushers in a new era for the Clippers, one thing’s undeniable: The Wall! is more than just a seating section; it’s a testament to unwavering fan loyalty.
