Los Angeles Kings tarp over a banner recognizing Taylor Swift's Staples Center sellout streak due to fans' 'curse' concerns
“The connection to our fans is our highest priority and through our engagement they have made it clear that the banner shouldn’t be part of their Kings game experience,” Michael Altieri, senior vice president of marketing, communications and content for the Kings and AEG Sports, told thenoting that it was the team’s decision to cover the banner. “We didn’t see an issue in covering it for our games and in fact see it as an opportunity to show our fans that we hear them.
The Kings aren’t the only Staples Center resident to cover the Swift banner: The Los Angeles Clippers also tarp over the achievement, as well as the banners associated with the Staples-sharing Lakers, who reportedly do not cover the Swift banner. Despite the banner’s rejection by two-thirds of its pro team occupants, the Staples Center has no plans to remove the Swift banner from the arena.
