Juveniles have been identified by local authorities

TWO juveniles have given an exclusive insight into the Los Angeles Clippers’ new $2 billion arena – by breaking into the facility.

The trespassers gained unlawful access to the Intuit Dome and shared a video of their antics on TikTok, including shooting hoops and letting off a fire extinguisher.

The duo, who did not hide their identities, brazenly recorded themselves walking around the state-of-the-art arena after climbing down a ladder outside of the construction zone.

They appeared to stumble across an unfinished basketball court and took a series of shots, trying to dunk the ball and letting off a fire extinguisher into the hoop.

From there, the duo videoed themselves climbing stairs onto the roof, looking out over the Los Angeles skyline.

The video, entitled ‘Sneaking into Clippers stadium’, has had over 150,000 views already.

The duo have been identified by local authorities.

“It will be very clear to these young men – and to people who are TikTok followers – that you have a moment of TikTok greatness followed by a little bit of misery,” Inglewood Mayor James E. Butts told ABC7.

“And so we don’t play around with these things.

“We know who the young men are. We have identified them and their parents, and they will be talked to probably tomorrow or the next day.”

The TikTokers have also recorded themselves walking around SoFi Stadium and Dodger Stadium after hours.

“When you have construction sites, they’re nuisances and they attract kids and they attract people who wants to steal tools,” Butts said.

“The fact of the matter is, that’s what happens when you build a major project.”

Meanwhile, the Clippers are going to great lengths to secure a home-court advantage in their new arena.

The Intuit Dome will have an exclusive 51-row fan section which has a strict code of conduct for the team’s most loyal and loudest supporters.

‘The Wall’ has been built for ‘certified’ Clippers fans only – customers cannot cheer for the opposing team or wear visitors’ uniforms.

In addition, fans in the section must complete three out of five requirements to be considered ‘Chuckmark certified.’

These include uploading an image of them wearing Clippers gear, subscribing to the team’s newsletter, and following the Clippers on Instagram.

In addition, Wall members must subscribe to ClipperVision or have attended a game in the last three years, and correctly answer a trivia question about the team’s mascot Chuck the Condor.

Any fans who break The Wall Code will “lose access” to the European soccer-style stand, according to the team.

The construction development comes amid an announcement that the Intuit Dome has been awarded the 2026 NBA All-Star Game.

“I was giddy when I heard it was possible and even giddier when the NBA said we were getting it,” Clippers owner Steve Ballmer said.

Ballmer has spared no expense to ensure that the Inuit Dome will be the most technologically-advanced arena in the NBA.

The arena 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.

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.

Intuit Dome will also be the basketball venue for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
