Pyrotechnics Incident at Chicago Bulls Event
Pyrotechnics at a recent Disturbed concert resulted in damage to six Chicago Bulls banners in the NBA.
Details of the Damage
In a statement released on Friday (March 14), the United Center confirmed that the banners, which were commemorating the era of Michael Jordan in the 1990s, sustained “insignificant damage.”
The damage occurred during a speech on March 8 featuring the band Disturbed and Sevendust, with clips of flames near the banners circulating on social media.
“(The United Center is currently working with the Bulls to explore options for the repair of these banners,” noted a representative from the venue in the statement, as reported by Associated Press. “Although the banners will not be in place until the end of this season, we expect them to return next season.”
