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
teammates spotted in New York ahead of the wedding, which was expected to also
be attended by Kelce's retired Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl-winning brother
Jason, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle and others from football,
golf and beyond.
Soccer even had a presence, albeit in the form of "Ted Lasso" actor Jason
Sudeikis, himself a big Chiefs fan.
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.
