Clippers’ New Arena Features Radical New Cheering Section With Wild View of Court, and NBA Fans Had Jokes
The latest reveal regarding the Los Angeles Clippers’ brand new arena made waves on Wednesday, as NBA fans learned of a wildly unique feature inside the team’s soon-to-debut Intuit Dome.
The Clippers released details and rules breaking down a exclusive new section of seats known as “The Wall.” Comprised of “51 uninterrupted rows of fans,” The Wall will stand stand tall behind one basket, and require spectators to not cheer for opposing teams or wear their gear. Season tickets will range from $5K–$25K.
The real kicker for NBA fans, however, came when an image shared by The Athletic’s Law Murray displayed just how steep the seats at the top of The Wall are set to be. The view sparked more than a few hilarious reactions on social media.

Instead, the announcement became a hot topic for jokes at the Clippers’ expense, ranging from the dizzying last row view to the hefty price tag and much more:
