Janet Wootton bought the bullhorn for her favorite team’s first trip to the NBA Finals, and over the years it became her calling card. It amplified her voice, as she cheered on the Utah Jazz. It did the same when she thought her guys weren’t playing their best.
A ban on electronic noisemakers at the arena didn’t quiet Wootton. She was still in her seats every game (and asking to bring her bullhorn back).
But when Wootton did not renew her season tickets last spring, the tickets she had held since 1993, her Utah Jazz rep got worried.
