In the Clipper’s first year at the brand new home in Inglewood, the Clippers accomplished a lot, from having the loudest fans known as “The Wall”, to the team reaching the playoffs in their first year in the new arena. The biggest accomplishment the team achieved this year was the Intuit Dome recently awarded Sports Business Journal Sports Facility Of The Year. Steve Ballmer and the rest of the Clippers’ front office are proud of what they accomplished in the Clippers organization in the team’s first year at the new arena Intuit Dome.
Clippers owner Steve Ballmer called the Intuit Dome a “passion project” when accepting the award for Sports Facility of the Year back in May. Steve Ballmer also mentioned that the vision for building the arena and making it a reality was to be “a place for basketball fans to be basketball fans.” Intuit Dome, the newest arena in the NBA has the best fan experiences than any other arena in the league. The 38,375 square foot double-sized Halo Board creates 360-degree visuals that help elevate the storytelling and fan experience for all events, not just the Clippers.
Steve Ballmer also mentioned in his speech “Our strategy from the start was get our fans to fill the building, be part of the energy and the heat and the passion.” Ballmer also said “Our fans on The Wall-51 rows of fans, uninterrupted no break. Loud and proud student section style.”
The Clippers are looking to build on their success from the first year at the Intuit Dome and build on that next season with the NBA Draft and free agency. There’s going to be a lot of work to do for the Clippers organization, as the team is going to be really different and more hungry as they are trying to get stars to join the team.
