Clippers Unveil Intuit Dome, Halo Board, and Steve Ballmer Cam
The Los Angeles Clippers have officially unveiled their new home arena, Intuit Dome, to the media. Among the eye-catching features is the massive “Halo Board,” a double-sided, wraparound 4K video board that will provide an immersive experience for fans. According to Clippers president of business operations Gillian Zucker, the Halo Board will be a major talking point for fans, and rightfully so.
The board is not the only exciting feature of the new arena. The Clippers have also installed t-shirt cannons on the Halo Board, capable of hitting every seat in the arena, ensuring that no fan is left out of the fun. This innovative feature is sure to delight fans and create an electric atmosphere during games.
In a more serious note, Clippers owner Steve Ballmer addressed the media about the team’s recent loss of Paul George to the Philadelphia 76ers in free agency. Ballmer expressed his disappointment, stating that he loved George as a human being and had enjoyed getting to know his family. However, he acknowledged that the team made the best offer they could under the NBA’s new collective bargaining agreement while maintaining a competitive roster.
The Clippers have re-signed James Harden and added several new players, including Derrick Jones Jr., Nicolas Batum, Kevin Porter Jr., and Mo Bamba, using the money saved from not re-signing George. They have also traded Russell Westbrook to the Utah Jazz for Kris Dunn.
Ballmer emphasized that the team’s focus is now on building a roster that can contend for a championship. He believes that teams will be more thoughtful in their roster-building strategies, taking into account the penalties associated with exceeding the salary cap. Despite this, Ballmer is willing to pay the price to build a winning team.
The Intuit Dome and its innovative features are set to revolutionize the NBA fan experience. With the Halo Board and t-shirt cannons, the Clippers are poised to create an unforgettable atmosphere for their fans. As the team looks to rebuild and contend for a championship, the future is bright for the Los Angeles Clippers.
