Teenage TikTokers Broke Into Clippers' New $2 Billion Arena
The Intuit Dome — the $2-billion future home of the Los Angeles Clippers — is still under construction. And it looks like they're saving the security system for last.
Two teenagers broke into the Inglewood, Calif., arena in the middle of the night and proceeded to wreak havoc. How do we know? Because they posted the whole thing on TikTok.
They managed to make their way in by climbing an orange ladder outside the construction grounds, before strolling through empty hallways and entering the incomplete bleachers. They even tried to pull off a slam dunk (with the help of a work bucket).

The boys recorded themselves shooting hoops, spraying fire extinguishers and jumping over staircases. Then, they helped themselves downstairs, where they stumbled upon what appeared to be an unfinished practice court.
Finally, they climbed up to the roof of Intuit Dome, where they took shots of the skyline.

The TikTokers Are Repeat Offenders
The shameless trespassers — one of whom was wearing Lakers pajama pants — made no effort to mask their identity. So they've already been identified by police.
Not that they care. Their TikTok account is full of videos of them sneaking into places where they don't belong, including SoFi Stadium and Dodger Stadium. One of them also attempted to rush the field during a friendly match between Arsenal and Barcelona.
"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," Inglewood Mayor James E. Butts told ABC 7 on Friday.
"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."
That'll teach 'em, Mayor Butts! Just give those boys a stern talking to!
To be fair, though, that's pretty on par with the rest of the catch-and-release criminal justice system in California.
