INGLEWOOD, CA. \u2013 The Los Angeles Clippers\u2019 new arena is on schedule to open next year, with the steel framework for its two-sided halo board now in place above the 18,000 seats.<\/p>\n

The Clippers will play their final season at Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles before moving into the Intuit Dome in nearby Inglewood for the 2024-25 NBA season.<\/p>\n

The team showed off the arena\u2019s progress to media on Thursday, hours before the NBA draft.<\/p>\n

The building\u2019s roof was designed to accommodate the halo board\u2019s 44,000 square feet of LED lights.<\/p>\n

Construction\u00a0workers bent over, stretching on the dirt main floor before their shift began.<\/p>\n

The concrete for the upper bowl seats is in place, including The Wall area, which includes a 51-row section inspired by European soccer stadiums that puts fans in loud proximity to the action on the court.<\/p>\n

The Clippers\u2019 locker room has been framed out. It\u2019s adjacent to two practice courts that feature natural light pouring in from large windows. Outside is a garden area that includes a lap pool available to the team.<\/p>\n
