@@jdos5643 To produce anything small or huge you need the raw materials to be excavated, transported and processed multiple times. That is before having started to construct anything. Then you pollute again to construct and again to use the building, especially because there is zero plan for public transport connections. So the carbon footprint of something like this is what a small country might produce in a whole year. At this point the pollution is done and irreversible. Producing your own electricity isn't going to magically erase the footprint of this or any building (from the beginning of the planning process till its end life). You're only making the building self-sufficient energetically speaking. I frankly doubt the claims of its energy-efficiency, looks like a nightmare to cool down and is a heat magnifier with all that glass (surrounding temperature outdoor will increase). This thing you can only offset by planting a million tree and restore one or more ecosystems and their biodiversity. Anything else is just greenwashing at its finest. In short, the best way to avoid a massive carbon footprint is to avoid building anything new if it isn't absolutely necessary, then to build something with low impact systems or to build with a serious offset plan. There are mega-projects that despite their carbon footprint can reduce, mid to long-term, the carbon footprint of something else, say a train bridge or tunnel connecting two islands where the car and marine traffic is so high to justify the project. This vanity project ain't it, solar panels or not. As I said, ridiculous.

@@jdos5643 To produce anything big or small you need the raw materials to be excavated, transported and processed multiple times. Even the R&D process is part of the carbon footprint of anything. So, you already pollute before construction, then you pollute during construction and you pollute again after construction until the end of life of the building. Factor in this has zero public transport connection (it is LA after all), so more car traffic thus pollution along with the viability issues. Being self-sufficient energetically has zero to do with the carbon footprint of building something, even more so since this thing is not an energy-efficient type of building. Massive spaces with openings everywhere are hard to keep in constant temperature, which you need for indoor sports. Glass on the outside is a heat magnifier so you're increasing the air temperature of the surrounding area. No amount of solar panels or recycling (all great) will make this carbon free. All you can do, after having polluted for such a vanity project, is to have a serious offset plan to plant a million native trees and restore one or more ecosystems to increase biodiversity. That is how you can begin to offset the damage you've done. It takes decades for tress to offset what one building has done. But we don't just build one at a time, do we? The ideal scenario would be to stop building stupid stuff. There is, of course, an argument for stadiums or mega-projects. If you renovate a pre-existing stadium or build it anew with low impact techniques and materials that's much better than concrete, steel and glass. You could also build a train bridge or tunnel to reduce mid to long-term the carbon footprint of a crazy hectic wheeled and maritime transport route between say two islands. This is just lazy, damaging architecture which can't be passed for anything green. As I said, ridiculous.

Love an arena that might not host a play off game for years ….. Thunder up

Great video but there was a lot of crazy features about this arena that were left out of this video.

with three times the NBA avarage number of toilets its certainly flush with features! 6:00 fantastic pun

4:20 LV Dome: Am I a fucking joke to you?

I'm getting a little dizzy just looking down from those upper bowl seats. Pretty steep seating. Beautiful design though.

At least its not like Kansas City Chiefs asking for $800 million of funding, these Sport Arenas should be Sold to Billionaires that can afford them but good for Steve funding his own Stadium

The area outside of the arena is horrendous. It's at the intersection of two 8 lane highways like 20 miles from downtown with no rail connection so nobody can get there. Basically the world's worst stadium location.

there is gonna be automated train that will connect the Metro line to the Kia Forum. SoFi Stadium and the Los Angeles Clippers’ new arena . It will also be able to carry an estimated 11,000 rides per hour. Also, there’s a pedestrian bridge from the West Garage allows for easy walking access to the arena. Accessibility is something that was already thought about before building this arena.

Moving to Seattle would've been better than moving across town. The Clippers name could work since Seattle has other nautical-themed teams (even if a bit more inland), could share with the Kraken-which saves money on a new stadium...but yeah if the same dude owns the Rams, why not put them right next to each other

Why would that be? Because the government doesn’t take every last dime from companies and waste it on BS? It’s like you think individuals and companies aren’t entitled to have property and only the government has an entitlement to that money. Sports sponsorships are advertising. Advertising is a business expense. Business expenses are deductible. That’s how accounting and taxes work.

Steve Ballmer, the former CEO of Microsoft and current owner of the Clippers, has spared no expense in creating a playground for fans. His vision for the Intuit Dome is grand and ambitious. The arena aims to provide an unparalleled experience for fans, combining cutting-edge technology, luxury amenities, and an electric atmosphere during games. Ballmer’s commitment to building this arena reflects his passion for sports, entertainment, and the city of Los Angeles. His investment goes beyond just basketball-it’s about creating a lasting legacy for the Clippers and their fans.

Notice all of the amenities near the Crypto arena, while the new LA arena is built behind Bob's mechanic shop. That and with the combination of no public transit line, we've got ourselves a real piece of garbage that'll be abandoned in 20 years.

That’s a great question. Why build it in the first place? LA doesn’t want the Clippers. He would’ve been better off moving them to Seattle. Clippers are the pests we can’t get rid of smh
