The Los Angeles Clippers have expanded a deal with the Pechanga Resort Casino making it the team’s exclusive tribal casino and a Founding Partner of its new Intuit Dome arena.

The Clippers said the long-term partnership is rooted in the organizations’ shared value of giving back to Southern California.

The 18,000-capacity Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California (US) which is set to open its doors on August 15^th, 2024, will be the home venue of the Los Angeles Clippers of the National Basketball Association (NBA).

Grammy Award-winner Bruno Mars will christen the dome with back-to-back shows, followed by Olivia Rodrigo. Usher will play the venue in September before the Clippers move in when the NBA season begins in October.

The Intuit Dome’s key features include five basketball courts, an outdoor plaza, 51 uninterrupted rows of seats near the visitor’s bench called ‘The Wall’, and the largest-ever double-sided Halo Board in an arena.

Intuit Dome will host hundreds of sporting events and concerts each year. Intuit Dome is built different — it will redefine fans’ expectations for live experiences and change the music landscape in Los Angeles, the Clippers said.

Pechanga and the Clippers will host events benefitting fans and the local community each year and the Clippers’ Open Practice will be held this fall at the Pechanga Indian Reservation in Temecula on October 8th.

Ken Perez, President, Pechanga Development Corporation said, “We are excited to partner and support the Clippers as they open their new home, Intuit Dome.

“This partnership expands the Pechanga brand and presence in Southern California sports and entertainment while making our communities better and stronger.”

Perez, LA Clippers and Intuit Dome Chief Commercial Officer Scott Sonnenberg, Pechanga Council Members and Board Members, and the Clippers celebrated the partnership at Intuit Dome.

Sonnenberg said, “It has long been a priority for the Clippers organization to use our platform to make a meaningful difference and moving into our new home Intuit Dome has allowed us to create a space that brings even more people together.

“We’re very happy to have Pechanga as an Intuit Dome Founding Partner and the exclusive tribal casino of the LA Clippers as we continue programs and events that improve the lives of our neighbors.”

The community-focused partnership tipped off in June, when Pechanga and the Clippers donated laptops and supplies to the Career Center at Ortega High School in Lake Elsinore to help students apply for colleges, jobs, financial aid, and more.

Pechanga will also sponsor the team’s annual Feed the Community holiday event, and its support last year helped distribute 33,000 meals to families in need.

Future events and committed funding benefiting the community underscore the philanthropic and community improvements already being realized through the enhanced partnership.
