NEW YORK (AP) — JuJu Smith-Schuster was there. So was Cooper Kupp, fresh off winning the Super Bowl.
NFL players and other prominent sports figures made up part of the star-studded crowd for Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s wedding at Madison Square Garden on Friday.
Kareem Hunt was one of Kelce’s many current or former Kansas City Chiefs
Soccer even had a presence, albeit in the form of “Ted Lasso” actor Jason Sudeikis, himself a big Chiefs fan.
Home arena of Knicks, Rangers
The wedding is taking place at the home arena of the NBA’s New York Knicks and NHL’s Rangers. Swift attended Game 4 of the NBA Finals there, sitting courtside as the Knicks pulled off the biggest comeback at that stage of the playoffs in league history by rallying from down 29 to beat San Antonio.
MSG has been the site of some iconic sports moments since the current version opened at this location atop Penn Station in 1968.
The Knicks won their first NBA title there in 1970, when Willis Reed famously returned from injury to spark their Game 7 victory against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Joe Frazier beat Muhammad Ali there in the first of the legends’ three boxing matches against each other, the “Fight of the Century,” in 1971. Ali won the rematch in ’74.
The Rangers ended their 54-year championship drought at the Garden in 1994, defeating the Vancouver Canucks to win the Stanley Cup.
Kelce is a three-time Super Bowl champion with Kansas City and a four-time AP All-Pro selection at his position. Jason was a seven-time All-Pro center who helped Philadelphia win the Super Bowl in the 2017 season.
