The new LA Clippers arena has been in construction since 2021. Set to open in the 2024-25 season, the 18,000 capacity 'Intuit Dome' is a $2 billion construction project. The stadium, which is being built in Inglewood, California, will feature some of the most advanced technology ever seen in professional sports.

Intuit Dome is set to be the stadium of the future. According to reports, with a ton of solar-powered batteries, the stadium will be environment friendly and fully electric.

Another interesting feature is that the arena will have no club levels or suites. It will include "The Wall" next to the visitor's bench, giving thousands of fans better views and enjoy home-court advantage.

The layout is rumored to give the home team an advantage, providing opposition free throw shooters with plenty of distractions. Clippers President of Business Operations Gillian Zucker recently discussed the progress of the construction with USA Today:

"There are a few things that are really special about it from an architecture standpoint. First one is in one of the end zones there’s a wall of people, essentially, that is 51 rows high. So it’s completely unbroken in terms of the grandstand there.
"There aren’t any suites that break it up. There’s no club (seating) in the way. As a result of that, we believe that it’s going to provide this tremendously intense homecourt advantage.”

Below is a video of owner Steve Ballmer talking about the construction of the Clippers arena.

As the outspoken owner of the LA Clippers, Ballmer has cemented himself as one of the most noteworthy owners in the league. Frequently in attendance at Clippers games, it's no secret that Ballmer enjoys having a hands-on approach in his team's day-to-day affairs.

In the same interview, Zucker also said that Ballmer had a fan-first mindset for the new Clippers arena:

“He loves this project. In fact, one of the things that was most important to him was to make sure that fans really had the right amount of leg room. That the seats were comfortable and that people wanted to spend time in these seats, cheering on the Clippers."

The Clippers will have their own arena for the first time in 2024. The ultimate kick-off celebration for the Clippers arena would be if they win a championship this season. The team (11-7) are fourth in the Western Conference and are on a three-game winning streak.

They take on defending champions the Golden State Warriors in a highly anticipated showdown at the Chase Center on Wednesday. Beating Steph Curry and the Warriors could give the team even more confidence going forward.
