@@nathansteele4358I don’t know if Steve Ballmer is using his cash to fund the stadium or if he is privately financing it, but either way he is paying for the stadium, as he is personally on the hook for any loan (if there is one) and repayment will come from him. The idea that he will never have to pay a loan off (if there is one) is totally incorrect. There are no investors in the Clippers, as Ballmer owns 109% of the team. But if he sells a piece of the team to investors to pay off a loan, he is paying that loan because he would be using something he owns to generate cash to pay the loan. Also, he would be making payments on a loan while it exists. In any case, using a loan (if thre is one) to fund the stadium is, in fact, Ballmer using his own funds because he is on the hook to repay the loan whether he repays it with cash he has or he sells an asset to repay the loan. Also, Microsoft wouldn’t help him pay the loan, as he is now just an owner of stock in Microsoft (the biggest source of his $100B+ net worth). He could sell some of his Microsoft stock to pay off a loan, but that is not Microsoft helping him, but that is him selling an asset he owns to generate cash.

LA has the biggest baseball stadium in the world with Dodger Stadium having a capacity of well over 50k. They are about to have the most expensive arena in the world as the first ever multi-billion dollar arena ever built. Of course they also have by far the most expensive stadium in So-Fi which is well over twice and almost 3 times as expensive as any stadium ever built at $5.4+ billion. LA definitely does it up when it comes to their sports teams. I did talk to a fan who went to So-Fi and was complaining about the cost though. I think the cheap seats are pretty close to $200 each and if you want to eat or drink there even some of the most basic food items are in the $50-$65 range.

I wonder too, as I think that maybe Gymnastics or some basketball games might move into there. It wasn't in the original plans originally because they sent in the LA bid way back in 2017 before Intuit Dome was planned.

Steve Ballmer went through developers to buy the 22 acres Intuit Dome sits on for $66.2 million dollars. This was the cost of buying land in Inglewood. While the land may be more expensive than in other areas of the country, at a total cost of 2 billion dollars to build it is the cutting edge technology, fan amenities and environmental friendly materials like 100% low carbon concrete that make the stadium expensive. Amazon HQ2 in Virginia uses a lot of the same material and it costs $2.5 billion. The stadiums location likely has very little to do with the extravagant cost.
