Nuggets superfan gets banned from games after 32-year run

The 72-year-old Nuggets supporter has been known as both the “Sign Lady” and the “Candy Lady” among fans and players alike. Ray earned the latter title  after years of sneaking personalized candy bags for Nuggets players.

Ray recently spoke to CBS News Colorado’s Alan Gionet on what had allegedly caused her ban. Ray said that she was accused of grabbing a referee during a February game. Then she added that there was another accusation about her hitting a player in the face.

The Nuggets supporter denied both allegations, adding that the latter would be “near impossible” for her to do given the size difference between her and the players.

Ray did admit to one accusation about passing notes to referees. But she added that she had been doing the same thing for decades.

“Well I did that,” she bared to Gionet. “OK. But I passed a note to the refs every game for 25 years. Christmas cards, birthday cards, everything.”

Ray added that her lawyer believes the Nuggets are trying to vacate her four seats — total cost $20,000 — and sell them at a higher price.
