What is the Intuit Dome capacity?+
The Intuit Dome capacity is 18,000 for LA Clippers basketball games. That total includes approximately 4,500 seats in The Wall, the signature fan section behind one basket, plus the lower bowl (sections 101-122), the club level, and the upper bowl (sections 201-222). For concerts, the floor is reconfigured for a stage, which changes the usable capacity depending on the production setup.
How many seats does Intuit Dome have?+
Intuit Dome has approximately 18,000 seats for basketball. The seating breaks down into four zones: The Wall (roughly 4,500 bench-style seats in 51 steep rows), the lower bowl (sections 101-122), the club level (premium seating with lounge access), and the upper bowl (sections 201-222). The arena was designed intentionally smaller than the typical NBA arena to maximize atmosphere and home-court advantage for the Clippers.
How does Intuit Dome capacity compare to other NBA arenas?+
At 18,000 seats, the Intuit Dome is on the smaller side among NBA arenas. The Staples Center (now Crypto.com Arena), which the Clippers previously shared with the Lakers, holds around 20,000 for basketball. Madison Square Garden holds about 20,789 for the Knicks. Chase Center for the Warriors holds 18,064. The Clippers chose 18,000 deliberately - a tighter bowl generates more noise and gives home games a more intense atmosphere.
What is the Intuit Dome capacity for concerts?+
For concerts, Intuit Dome capacity varies by production setup. When a stage is placed at one end of the floor, the floor becomes the stage area and standing room closest to it, which typically brings overall capacity into the 12,000-16,000 range depending on the show. Full 360-degree configuration shows can use more of the floor. Check the specific event listing for exact configuration details.
How big is the Intuit Dome?+
The Intuit Dome is roughly 900,000 square feet in total building area. The arena sits on the Hollywood Park campus in Inglewood, California at 3930 W Century Blvd. The seating bowl holds 18,000 for basketball. It cost approximately $2 billion to build and opened August 15, 2024 as the first NBA arena built entirely for a single tenant with no second team sharing the space.
How much did it cost to build Intuit Dome?+
Intuit Dome cost approximately $2 billion to build. The project was fully privately financed by LA Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, who purchased the team in 2014 specifically to build a dedicated arena. Construction began in 2021 and the arena opened August 15, 2024. Key design investments include The Wall's 51-row steep fan section, the halo scoreboard that wraps the arena's upper ring, and premium club spaces throughout.
Where is Intuit Dome located?+
Intuit Dome is located at 3930 W Century Blvd, Inglewood, California 90303. It sits on the Hollywood Park campus, approximately 3 miles from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and about 12 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles. The campus also includes SoFi Stadium, YouTube Theater, retail, and dining.
What teams play at Intuit Dome?+
The LA Clippers are the sole NBA tenant at Intuit Dome. Unlike Crypto.com Arena (formerly Staples Center), which houses both the Lakers and the Clippers, Intuit Dome was built exclusively for the Clippers. There is no second team sharing the space. This single-tenant design allowed the Clippers to optimize every design decision — including The Wall and the halo scoreboard — specifically for their fanbase.
Who owns Intuit Dome?+
Intuit Dome is owned by Steve Ballmer and the LA Clippers ownership group. Ballmer purchased the Clippers in 2014 for $2 billion and immediately announced plans to build a dedicated arena. The entire $2 billion construction cost was privately financed — no public funding was used. Ballmer retained full ownership of the arena through his sports and entertainment entity.
What is the Intuit Dome naming rights deal?+
Intuit, the financial software company best known for TurboTax and QuickBooks, paid an estimated $500 million over 23 years for the Intuit Dome naming rights. The deal was announced in June 2021, three years before the arena opened in August 2024. It runs through approximately 2044. Intuit is headquartered in Mountain View, California, making the deal a pairing of two California-based companies.
Does Intuit Dome have a roof?+
Yes. Intuit Dome is a fully enclosed indoor arena with a fixed roof. Unlike SoFi Stadium, which has an open-sided ETFE canopy, Intuit Dome is a climate-controlled indoor facility. This means the temperature inside is regulated year-round, there is no exposure to weather, and the acoustic environment is entirely controlled — which contributes significantly to the noise level The Wall generates during Clippers games.
What is the Intuit Dome halo scoreboard?+
The Intuit Dome halo scoreboard is a 360-degree LED ring that wraps the entire upper section of the arena bowl. Unlike traditional scoreboards placed at each end of the court, the halo design ensures that every fan — regardless of section — has a scoreboard directly in their sightline. The ring displays live game data, replays, and graphics. It is particularly valuable for upper bowl sections (201-222), which look up slightly to see the ring overhead rather than craning toward a distant end-zone board.
What major events has Intuit Dome hosted?+
Since opening in August 2024, Intuit Dome has hosted LA Clippers regular season and playoff games, major concerts, and special events. The arena's first major non-Clippers events included headline concerts by touring artists. As a brand-new, purpose-built facility on the Hollywood Park campus, it competes directly with the Kia Forum for major touring acts in the 18,000-seat category. The venue's first full NBA season was 2024-2025.
Are Intuit Dome Clippers games sold out?+
Intuit Dome Clippers games frequently sell out, particularly for marquee matchups against the Lakers, Warriors, and Celtics. The 18,000-seat capacity is deliberately smaller than the Clippers' former home at Crypto.com Arena (20,000), which keeps demand higher relative to supply. Pre-purchasing tickets through AXS is recommended for any nationally televised game. Weeknight games against non-playoff teams occasionally have availability closer to tip-off.
