TikTok of teens breaking into LA Clippers arena goes viral

Two teenagers felt like living life on the edge as they broke into the future Los Angeles Clippers’ arena on Saturday night. Their resulting escapade went viral on TikTok. 

The video showed the daring duo scale a ladder and enter the unfinished Intuit Dome. What transpired next created a slate of reactions from social media onlookers. 

The adolescents posted a 90-second clip of them somehow evading security and entering the $2 billion venue before things got interesting, as TMZ shared on X.

Both trespassers happened to find basketballs and put up shots on practice rims in one portion of the arena. They also used props like fire extinguishers to add cinematography to their mini highlight reel. 

The risk-takers then capped off their memorable Saturday night by engaging in a bit of parkour before climbing up the soon-to-be Clippers’ rafters and the NBA arena’s rooftop.

Inglewood Mayor James E. Butts was able to put names to the faces and issued this statement to ABC7: “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. And so we don’t play around with these things.

The video got 140,000 million views on TikTok and spread like wildfire on X. Fan reactions to the “greatness” were priceless: 

The juveniles have also managed to break into Sofi Stadium and the Los Angeles Dodgers’ stadium in the past.
