According to a report from the American media Boardroom, the Clippers' new home court, Intuit Dome, is confirmed to be put into use this summer.
It was revealed that the Intuit Dome has 18,000 seats at a total cost of 2 billion.
These include:
(1) The largest scoreboard in the league - 4,000 square meters (the current largest in the league is only 800 square meters);
(2) The best viewing comfort in the league - the seats are widened, the distance between the two seats is increased, and the top seat has the same level configuration as the front seat.
(3) the largest number of restrooms in the whole league - 1,400 (the current maximum in the whole league is only 400);
(4) The whole stadium is equipped with charging equipment, and there is a fan standing and cheering area for fans to watch the game passionately.
Below is a map of the current progress of the arena, as well as a concept map of the new arena that was compiled by the arena staff.
For all the LA Clippers staff, as well as the local fans, this is an era-saving refresh.
Generations have waited for 25 years, and finally they don't have to send people to the fence.
The Clippers' home crypto center (formerly known as the Staples Center), which is quite special,
There are as many as four teams sharing the stadium, and their priority is quite low.
The Clippers were founded in Buffalo in 1970 and then moved to San Diego and Los Angeles a few years later.
Originally used as the Los Angeles Coliseum, it moved into the Staples Center with the Lakers in 1999.
Due to the long history of the Lakers and the strong period of the OK combination at that time, the Lakers almost covered all the local basketball fan market, and the Clippers had no choice but to follow behind as a little brother.
Even before each game, the Clippers need to hoist several flags to block the Lakers' retired jerseys and championship flags.
Locally, the Clippers are not only being suppressed by the Lakers, but the Staples Center is also loaned to the hockey team and the WNBA women's basketball team, and in addition to the Lakers, the Clippers also need to coordinate with the other two teams.
And due to the rich local sports and entertainment industry in Los Angeles, boxing matches and concerts will be held here every once in a while.
That's why Clippers games are often played after 11:30 a.m. EDT.
It's obviously not a way to stay here for a long time, but Los Angeles, where can it be used as an NBA-level basketball venue for a long time, except for Staples?
Without a stadium of your own, you can't build your own fan culture, and even if the Clippers outperformed the Lakers in a few of the past 25 years, they still can't reverse the decline of the local fan market.
At the right time, Ballmer joined the NBA league and won the Los Angeles Clippers in full, and the first thing he did when he took office put a new arena on the agenda.
After a few years, the arena is about to be completed and put into use, and the Clippers are at the time of the most victorious in recent years, the Big Four will march to the Northern Expedition, the fan base is unprecedentedly large, the team is unprecedentedly assembled, and the stars are unprecedentedly healthy.
It was as if everything was getting ready for the arrival of the new arena.
Will the team's first arena be able to welcome their own championship flag?
Let's move towards this goal.
