Getting there

Intuit Dome sits in Inglewood at Century Boulevard and Prairie Avenue, immediately adjacent to SoFi Stadium and the Kia Forum — three major venues clustered into a single emerging entertainment district. Metro K Line light rail stops at the Downtown Inglewood station, with the city's planned people-mover connector linking the rail station to the venues; until that opens, a shuttle network and dedicated rideshare lanes handle the rail-to-arena link. Driving from LAX uses Century Boulevard directly east; from downtown LA the 110 to the 105 west. The Clippers' team-affiliated lots and adjacent garages ring the arena, and reserving in advance via the parking link above typically beats event-day pricing. Rideshare drop-off zones are signed at multiple arena entrances. Confirm bag and entry rules on the Clippers' official site before going.

The neighborhood

Inglewood around Intuit Dome is in active redevelopment — SoFi Stadium opened in 2020, Intuit Dome in 2024, and the Hollywood Park mixed-use district between them continues to fill in with restaurants, hotels, and apartments. The Kia Forum, the long-time Lakers home before crypto.com Arena, sits a short walk north and now functions as a concert-and-events venue. The immediate blocks are still a mix of older Inglewood residential and new development — the walkable arena-village feel is partial rather than complete. Downtown Inglewood with Market Street and the historic theater district sits a short distance northeast. Travelers building a wider day can pair the visit with a SoFi Stadium tour, a Kia Forum show (if calendars overlap), or a short drive west to El Segundo or the South Bay beaches.

Where to eat & drink nearby

The Hollywood Park district immediately around Intuit Dome and SoFi Stadium continues to add food-and-drink tenants. Three Weavers Brewing (a longtime Inglewood craft brewery a short drive northwest) is the destination pre-game taproom. Dulan's Soul Food on Crenshaw is a longtime Inglewood institution serving Southern cooking. Tacos Tu Madre serves Mexican a short drive away. Hilltop Coffee + Kitchen is a popular daytime spot in downtown Inglewood. Sammy's Restaurant on Market Street is a local sit-down standby. For El Segundo a short drive west, El Segundo Brewing is a destination craft-beer pre-game stop. Randy's Donuts (the iconic giant-donut Inglewood landmark visible from the 405) is the canonical post-game late-night stop. Pre-game crowds at the closest Hollywood Park tenants build quickly within the hour before tipoff.

First-timer tips

Arrive 60–90 minutes before tipoff — Intuit Dome's heavy investment in fan-experience tech (frictionless biometric entry, all-cashless concessions, the team's interactive Halo Board, the 'Wall' of unbroken supporter seating behind one basket) is a defining first-time draw and rewards the early exploration. The Halo Board, a 360-degree double-sided LED ring above the floor, is the largest in the NBA at opening and is a designed photo moment. The arena was designed without traditional luxury suites on the lower bowl — the seating is intentionally democratic and pitched steeply toward the floor for noise. The Clippers publish current bag, clear-bag, biometric-entry, and concession rules on the official site. Mobile-only tickets are the norm and biometric entry is opt-in.

Best games to catch

Clippers vs. Lakers is the in-building LA rivalry now that the Clippers have moved to their own arena — the matchup that defined two decades at crypto.com Arena now travels between buildings and the Intuit Dome leg consistently prices as the year's hardest single ticket. Clippers vs. Warriors and vs. Nuggets anchor the strongest Western Conference home weekends. National-spotlight visits from the Celtics, Bucks, and Sixers peak demand. The Clippers' promotional calendar — heritage jerseys, fan giveaways, themed nights — is published on the team site. Intuit Dome also hosts concerts and special events; the arena's calendar is intentionally less packed than crypto.com Arena's was, with the building designed primarily as a Clippers-first venue.

What to know

Intuit Dome opened in August 2024 as the LA Clippers' privately financed move from crypto.com Arena (formerly Staples Center), which the team had shared with the Lakers, Sparks, and Kings since 1999. The naming-rights deal with Intuit (the Mountain View software company behind TurboTax and QuickBooks) runs as a long-term commitment. The arena was a roughly $2 billion build funded almost entirely by Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, with no public subsidy — making it among the most expensive privately financed sports venues ever constructed. The design centers on the Halo Board (the largest double-sided 360-degree LED ring in the NBA), 'The Wall' of supporter seating directly behind one basket, full biometric and cashless infrastructure, and acoustic tuning that intentionally packs noise toward the floor. The arena is hosting basketball events for the 2028 LA Summer Olympics, alongside SoFi Stadium and the Kia Forum which form the Inglewood Olympic cluster.

Frequently asked questions

Doors typically open about 90 minutes before tipoff for Clippers games, sometimes earlier for marquee events. Check the Intuit Dome official event page for the specific game's door time.

How do I get to Intuit Dome without a car?

Metro K Line light rail stops at the Downtown Inglewood station. Until the planned people-mover connector opens, a shuttle network and dedicated rideshare lanes handle the rail-to-arena link. From LAX, Century Boulevard runs directly to the venue cluster.

Where can I park at Intuit Dome?

The Clippers' team-affiliated lots and adjacent Hollywood Park garages ring the arena. Reserving in advance via the parking link above typically beats event-day pricing, particularly for Lakers and Warriors visits. Confirm current rates and availability before driving in.

Are the Clippers still at crypto.com Arena?

No — the Clippers moved to Intuit Dome for the 2024–25 season. The team had shared crypto.com Arena (formerly Staples Center) with the Lakers, Sparks, and Kings since 1999. The new arena is in Inglewood, immediately adjacent to SoFi Stadium and the Kia Forum.

What is The Wall at Intuit Dome?

The Wall is the unbroken section of supporter seating directly behind one basket — designed as a single sloped tier with no aisles or premium-seat interruptions, intended to function like a European soccer supporters' end. It is one of the arena's defining design features.
