STEVE Ballmer has spared no expense to ensure that the Inuit Dome will be the most technologically-advanced arena in the NBA.
The Los Angeles Clippers’ new $1.2billion facility will have an incredible scoreboard which is almost an acre in size.

The double-sided halo display, developed and produced by electronics company Daktronics, is 38,375 square feet.
It will be around five times the size of the biggest NBA scoreboards at present.
Clippers owner Ballmer says the state-of-the-art arena, which is scheduled to open in the 2024-25 season, has been designed with the fans’ perspective in mind.
“I have a point of view. I wanted an arena that works for the true basketball fan, and the music fan because we’re going to have concerts,” Ballmer said on Paul George’s podcast.
“I wanted more noise. I wanted people closer to the action.
“We saw an early option to do a crazy thing for a scoreboard….our scoreboard’s an acre.
“That’s 44,000 square feet. The average big NBA scoreboard is 9,000 square feet.
“So, we have about five times as much scoreboard as some of the biggest boards out there.”
Intuit Dome will also have a record number of toilets to cut down on waiting times.
“Plus urinals, we got 1,300 or 1,400. I can’t even remember right now,” Ballmer added.
“I wanted people in their seats watching the game.
“I hate it when you see lines; people can’t come back in.”
Ballmer is also putting the same investment in the viewing experience in the upper bowl as in the lower bowl.
“You may sit further away, but we want you to have the same comfort level,” he said.
Every seat will also have power sockets to allow fans to charge their phones during games.
“We’ll know whether you’re standing up, sitting down. And if you’re cheering, we know how many decibels you’re putting out,” Ballmer said.
“We’ll put chips in the seats which will help us understand this stuff.”
