are taking a big step toward building an arena of their own in Inglewood today with a groundbreaking ceremony for the basketball and music venue to be known as Intuit Dome.
“I wanted to make sure it was a basketball mecca,” Ballmer said of Intuit Dome. He pointed to basketball imagery woven throughout the building, such as ceilings in the VIP lounge that mimic the pebble surface and black lines found on a basketball. Viewed from above, the distinctive wavy pattern of the Intuit Dome roof is designed to suggest a basketball swooshing through a hoop.
Another key feature is the “halo” scoreboard — a giant ring of LED screens visible on all sides. The effect is to allow fans i the less-expensive seats to keep track of the score while also watching the game. On the other end of the ticket price spectrum, Intuit Dome’s corporate suites and clubhouse facilities are designed to keep attendees as close to the action on the court as possible.
The arena is projected to generate $260 million in economic activity for Inglewood. Construction of the arena is set to generate 7,000 full and part-time jobs, with 30% of those going to businesses owned by people of color. The operation of the arena is expected to yield 1,500 permanent full- and part-time jobs, half of which will go to Inglewood residents.
