Two teens brazenly broke into the Clippers’ future NBA home—and put it all on TikTok. Based on the video, they climbed an orange work ladder outside the construction grounds to enter the $2 billion Intuit Dome. In addition to exploring the grounds, the teens managed to get some shots up as well as improperly use a fire extinguisher to vandalize what appears to be a hoop on a practice court.
James T. Butts, the mayor of the city of Englewood, has already promised to make the teens responsible for the damage “experience misery” for the trespassing incident.
“It will be very clear to these young men — and to people who are TikTok followers — that you have a moment of TikTok greatness followed by a little bit of misery,” Butts told LA Mag. “And so we don’t play around with these things. We know who the young men are. We have identified them and their parents, and they will be talked to probably tomorrow or the next day.”
“When you have construction sites, they’re nuisances and they attract kids and they attract people who want to steal tools,” he added.
Whether the punishment the teens receive from Butts will suffice is to be determined, considering the adolescents previously snuck into SoFi Stadium last year. And, of course, they shared their escapades on TikTok.
Check out the video below detailing the layout of the stadium below.
