NEW YORK (AP) --- Some of Travis Kelce's teammates on the NFL's Kansas City
Chiefs, retired Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl-winning brother Jason and other
players and prominent figures around sports are expected to be in attendance
for his wedding to pop superstar Taylor Swift on Friday.
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle said recently he received an
invitation and planned to attend.
The wedding is slated to take place at Madison Square Garden, 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.
