The Clippers new $2 billion arena will host its first regular season NBA gametonight.

The Intuit dome is instantly one of the world's most technologically advancedarenas, and owner Steve Ballmer spared no expense when it comes to the fans.

快艇新的20億主場Intuit Dome今晚將會舉辦他的第一場NBA季賽。

Intuit Dome也立刻成為世界上科技最發達的球場之一，而老闆Steve Ballmer對於他的球迷完全不吝嗇一毛錢。

Here's what you need to know: 這些是你必須知道的事情

1. Knicks owner James Dolan filed a lawsuit to stop the arena's construction
because he thought it would impact concerts at The Forum, which he owns.

So, rather than arguing about it in court, Steve Ballmer bought The Forum for$400 million, and the problem disappeared.

尼克老闆James Dolan在球場要開始建設的時候就對快艇發起了訴訟，因為他認為IntuitDome的建造將會影響他擁有的論壇球場(湖人舊主場)的演奏會。

所以，Ballmer決定與其跟他在法庭上吵架，他直接花了4億美金把論壇球場買下，也因此問題就消失了。

(至今我還是覺得這個新聞太猛 你可能不能解決問題 但你可以直接把問題買下來 當億萬富翁真好)

2. The Clippers signed a 23-year, $500 million naming rights deal with Intuitbefore the arena even opened.

快艇在球場開幕前就與Intuit(一家金融軟體業者 比較有名的產品就是Turbo Tax)簽訂了23年5億的命名權合約。

3. The arena has 1,160 toilets—that's three times more than the average NBA
arena, and it means that there is one toilet for every 15 seats.

這個主場有1160個廁所--這是NBA所有主場平均的3倍以上，而這也代表每15個座位就可以用一個廁所。

(雖然聽起來很迷因 但是有在看球的都會知道這是多大的德政 看球每次上廁所連男廁都要排超久 = =)

4. All concession stands have the same menu to minimize decision-making, and
fans will do contactless checkout via grab-and-go (like Amazon Go stores) to
get fans back into their seats as soon as possible.

所有小賣部都有一樣的菜單所以你比較不會選擇困難，而球迷也可以用Grab and Go無接觸結帳(跟Amazon Go Store一樣)以加快他們回到位置的速度。(查了一下是球場入場跟所有消費等等都統一在一個App上面 所以進去拿完就可以直接走人了)

5. The Clippers spent millions to upgrade the city's traffic control system.
This will allow the city to manage traffic signals around the arena from a
central command center, making it easier for fans to enter and leave the
arena on game day without hitting traffic.

快艇花了數百萬升級了Inglewood市的交通控制系統。這可以讓市政府利用一個中央控制中心來管理交通號誌，這可以幫助球迷在比賽進場與出場時更輕鬆而不會被交通影響。

6. The Intuit Dome has already secured several big events, like the 2026 NBA
All-Star Game and the 2028 LA Olympics (basketball).

Intuit Dome已經拿下了數個大活動，這其中包含了2026年NBA明星賽與2028年洛杉磯奧運的籃球項目。

7. The Clippers built student-section-style seating on one end of the floor.
It has 51 rows of uninterrupted seating from floor to ceiling with no suites
or tiers. Fans aren't allowed to cheer for the other team or wear opponent
apparel, and season tickets are $32/game.

快艇在球場的一邊建造了像是美國學生區的座位區(就是各間大學都會有一區只有學生可以入場 通常票會便宜很多但要持學生證才能購買)。這區有51排到天花板不包含分區或是包廂不間斷的座位。球迷不被允許替另外一隊加油或是穿著別隊的衣服進場。而這區的季票平均一場只要32美金。

8. The Clippers visited more than 100 venues around the world (Wimbledon,
Tottenham, etc.) to get inspiration for the Intuit Dome.

快艇在建造Intuit Dome之前訪問了世界各地超過100個球場建築(包含溫布頓、托特納姆熱刺...等等)來獲得Intuit Dome的靈感。

9. The double-sided, 360-degree scoreboard is the size of an acre and will
display advanced stats and analytics throughout the game.

Intuit Dome還有雙面、360度且面積高達一英畝的記分板並會在比賽中呈現進階數據與分析。

10. Arena seats are heated, have USB ports to charge phones, and have massagesettings. There are also controllers built into the seats so fans can answer
trivia questions for prizes during TV timeouts.

每一個球場座位都可以加熱、都有USB插口來替手機充電且還都有按摩設定。座位上還有內建遙控器來讓球迷可以在廣告暫停時直接回答有獎徵答。(大部分球場都還是要傳簡訊到特定號碼之類的)

It'll be interesting to see how fans enjoy the experience, but this feels
like a look into the future of sports venues.

看看球迷會怎麼享受這種體驗很有趣，而這看起來就是運動主場的未來。

心得:

窩豪興奮阿
