According to The Associated Press, more than 20,000 Cleveland fans set a new world record by wearing Snuggies during Friday's Cavaliers-Pistons game at the Quicken Loans Arena.
All fans in attendance received a Snuggie prior to the contest. During a timeout in the first quarter, fans were asked to wear the wine-colored blankets with arms for five minutes as a clock on the scoreboard counted down, cheering as the world record clock expired.
A Guinness World Record official was in attendance to make the new world record official. Danny Girton Jr. confirmed the Guiness records management team opened a new category for the event since there was no existing record.
In addition, Cavaliers players, including 6-foot-8 LeBron James and 7-foot-1 Shaquille O'Neal, received Snuggies of their own.
