The Los Angeles Clippers announced city approval to build a new arena in Inglewood, LA. The constructions on their new arena are to begin next summer.
The Clippers announced the approval from the city council Tuesday, along with a joint deal to buy the publicly owned property on the arena site for $66.25 million.
The LA franchise has shared Staples Center downtown with the Los Angeles Lakers and the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings since it opened in 1999.
The arena will be a privately-financed building, which will contain an 18,000-seat arena along with a practice facility and corporate offices for the NBA franchise.
