Turner Construction Company, joint-venture partner AECOM Hunt and the Los Angeles Clippers, celebrated the grand opening of the $2-billion Intuit Dome located in Los Angeles, California. The first event in the arena was a sold-out Bruno Mars concert.
The 17,700-seat venue holds five basketball courts including the homecourt of the NBA’s Clippers, a practice facility and has an outdoor plaza for gathering. The arena has several unique features: the world’s largest Halo Board is a double-sided 4K scoreboard with an acre-sized screen, and the “Wall” is a 4,500-person cheering section available to Clippers fans to engage in the game as a community.
The Intuit Dome uses rooftop solar panels and battery storage to operate carbon-free; the all-electrical venue will produce no pollution from natural gas or fossil fuels. The project is designed to achieve LEED Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
The Intuit Dome will also host the 2026 NBA All-Star Game and will serve as a site for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
