I seriously think Ballmer doesn't get enough credit for keeping the Clippers in Los Angeles, and NOT asking the public to pay for his arena, props where props are due.
For the people who will go to these games, I really hope that the concessions will be fairly priced. At UBS Arena on Long Island (opened in November 2021) a bottle of water is $8.69. An entire meal will cost you $30 if not MORE. Parking is $43. I have gotten it for less in the past depending on where I park. Public transport for me to get there does not make sense. I also don’t want to take an Uber/Lyft there if I don’t absolutely have to because I don’t like riding in a strangers car and you have to tip the driver.
@@kobyschechter8163 theres no way this will be affordable for average LA income families, live sports have priced themselves out of reach for many, I went to a rams game which is next door to this new clippers arena parking was $100 a mile away at some high school.
@eugenewoo8352 Lmao ballmer didn't ask for public help to build the arena but asking the public to chip in by over pricing food etc. Don't give that fool to much credit until people are actually in that building to tell about everything being more then it need to be
@@eugenewoo8352 But that’s football. The football season is so short. You get 9 home games in a season at best. Basketball is an 82 game season with 41 home games. Because there’s more games, the prices of tickets SHOULD be lower. I’ve never been to a football game in my entire life because I live on Long Island (NY). MetLife Stadium is at least a two hour drive from us. And that’s on a good day. Also the tolls to get from Long Island to New Jersey are so expensive. Going to a football game for Long Islanders is an all day affair. I can get to UBS Arena to see my Islanders in 30 minutes and I don’t have to pay tolls. If I went to a 1:00 o’clock football game, I would have to leave home at 10:00 and I wouldn’t get home until 7:00 probably. I would rather just watch football from my couch then sit in the freezing cold with 80,000 people who are likely to get drunk.
I agree....Not a fan of the Clippers but I think Ballmer is the best owner of all of professional sports...the Clippers were down and out when he bought them and now he has kind of turned them to one of the best teams in the nba.
This is going to be amazing. As a local resident, I can't wait to check it out once it's all done! Now if the Clippers can win a championship this year, that means there will be a new championship banner raised in their brand new arena! What a way to break in the new building!!! Whoop, whoop!
I am so over this construction. There is always traffic. People think is good for the community but those can't afford in inglewood because of the increases in rent, are getting displaced. Wth
Maybe those nwgative comments are based on the waste of money o on these billion dollar stadiums that can be put to better uses for the tax paying citizenry.
There are still some dangerous gangs in the city like the Crenshaw Mafia Gangster Bloods and Inglewood Family Gangster Bloods. It's a nicer area than it used to be, but there are still many people in the area you wouldn't want to mess with. Just mind your own business and you're good.
It's still a toilet outside the confines of SoFo and now this place. They pretty up the surrounding areas for the media but go 4-5 blocks away and most likely you'll be a victim.
@@kendallevans4079 even last year at the Sofi stadium I heard about several people getting shot. Inglewood is one of the only cities in LA County where the majority of gangs in the area are Bloods and it is mostly surrounded by Crip neighborhoods, so it will more than likely always be a hotspot for gang activities.
it's an area for Clippers fans only. instead of the home and way teams fans being mixed up. Honestly I think all US sports should have something like this. Similar to in Soccer. they do it the best.
the Sac kings tried to move to the Honda center in 2013 the NBA said the honda Center needed another 1.5 Billion in upgrades to be an NBA arena, parking and the locker room situations and hotels around the area weren't up to NBA standards. its too small
@@eugenewoo8352 wrong . Maloof brothers wanted to move to Anaheim, but Donald sterling and Jeannie buss were against it since it would bring a third team to Southern California.
because those concerts are the one charging you that price. plus concerts for 1 or a few bands is generally 1 weekend or 1 day. clippers have a whole season in that arena.
Yeah!.... So Can the Staple Center too. You are Absolutely Right,....Down there on Figueroa Used to be Skid Row Heaven U.S.A... Until they push them all TO the Backside Area of Alameda, when they built the Staples Center..💯🙄🤔
Yay!!!! Bye bye Clippers 👋🏻 24 years at Staples/Crypto Arena and nothing!!! Yet the Lakers have won 6 since that time! Battle of L.A.? Lol stop 🛑..🙄😒 Anyways good! Good bye! Finally!!!🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤞🏻
A that so nice 💯,what about the kids school that closed no money,o.k. maybe u can a couple of those hard working construction people over to the school to remolded it, what much in permits to build something like that the city charges
