The Wells Fargo Center’s event staff is responsible for the security and comfort of all guests at arena events, including 76ers games. At last evening’s game, following multiple complaints from guests and verbal confrontations with others in attendance, two individuals were warned by Wells Fargo Center staff about their continuing disruption of the fan experience. Ultimately, the decision was made by Wells Fargo Center personnel to remove the guests from the premises, which was accomplished without incident.
Nonetheless, it doesn't look good in the wake of the recent China censorship scandal
Very rarely does a venue make a decision like this. The team leases the arena for the event, the venue does what the team wants.
If "verbal confrontation" were a blanket policy of the venue, then it could never hold another rock concert, monster truck rally, or other high-energy event.
This sounds more like, "We didn't throw anyone out, our hired goons did. We're clean!"
