The sooner the Clippers are able to get out of Crypto.com Arena, the better.
First of all, because it doesn’t feel right typing that out at all. Why in the world would you include dot com in an arena name? Yikes. Staples Center wasn’t the greatest name in the world, but this is dreadful.
But secondly, the Clippers’ new arena looks incredible, y’all. The team broke ground on the “Intuit Dome” at the tail end of last year and the plans behind this thing seem pretty incredible. Every image of Steve Ballmer’s new $1.8 million arena seems like it’s coming right out of a sports fan’s dream.
That is especially the case with the new “halo” scoreboard the arena will apparently have.
In pretty much every sports setting you go to, there’s a scoreboard that holds a bunch of information. It obviously has the stats for every player in the game and key info like what quarter it is, how much time is left and how many timeouts a team has. That’s the basic stuff. Sometimes it’ll even have stats from around the league.
But the way the Clippers’ scoreboard is looking? They’ll probably be streaming Netflix live during the game from this joint or something. It shows you literally everything you can ask for.
Look at this thing, y’all.

It’s a double-sized board broadcasting the game in 4k. The thing is nearly an acre in size. Like, this is completely ridiculous, y’all. It’s totally overboard. I…I love it.
I will say, the “Intuit Dome” name almost sounds as dumb as Crypto Dot Com arena. The only thing it’s missing is dot com, honestly. But I guess this is just the SponCon world we live in at work these days.
Anyway, the Clippers officially move into their new space in 2024 and, honestly, that day cannot get here soon enough.
