Where Food, Fashion, and Fandom Collide: Inside the Intuit Dome’s Season Two

I was invited to the Season Two preview of the Intuit Dome, home of the LA Clippers, and let me tell you this arena is spectacular. From the smooth parking experience to entering through the Lexus South VIP Lobby, everything felt elevated. The event took place inside the chic Grey Goose Lounge, and the attention to detail at every corner of the Intuit Dome is truly notable.

We kicked things off with food (my favorite part, obviously). As soon as we entered, the lounge was serving dishes from the arena’s revamped food program, 310 Provisions, which is rolling out a whole new lineup of Southern California-inspired bites for Season Two. The menu features creative options like the Birria Stack a SoCal-style crunchwrap stuffed with slow-roasted beef, avocado crema, and pickled onions—plus Esquites (corn in a cup with mayo, butter, and cotija cheese), a rotating onigiri rice ball with different fillings, a mushroom banh mi for vegetarians, and the GZ Cookie, a warm chocolate chunk cookie made from Clippers CEO Gillian Zucker’s own recipe. Fan favorites like the house-rolled pretzel, spicy tuna sushi dog, and crispy chicken tenders are back too.

After we finished eating, one of the Clippers reps gave me an insider look at the 2025 merch collection, which ties into NBA All-Star Weekend 2026. The Clippers have their own private label called Courtside Supply, and I got a sneak peek at some of the pieces that will drop soon. Think sporty-chic streetwear—clean lines, sleek details, and totally wearable beyond game day. My favorite piece? The gray Clippers crewneck—I can already picture it as part of my off-duty look. And yes, fans will be able to shop the All-Star merch soon, though the official release date is still “coming soon,” according to the rep.

Then it was time to head into the arena, where fans were seated behind the basketball hoop, ready to experience the new Halo Board programming. Carlos Jiménez and Gillian Zucker took the stage to walk us through all the exciting updates for Season Two.

One of the biggest announcements—and my personal favorite—was the new partnership with Candy Crush Saga®. Candy Crush is transforming halftime into a live, playable experience. Fans can compete in Candy Crush challenges using in-seat controllers, with real-time results displayed on the Halo Board for everyone to see. The collab builds on the Dome’s new Wavemakers Program, which measures and rewards fan energy through lights, sound, and motion—basically turning the entire arena into one big interactive experience. Running through the 2028–2029 season, the partnership proves that in this new era of Clippers basketball, fans aren’t just watching the game, they’re part of it.

Overall, the event was fun, quick, and super informative, leaving me even more excited for the next home game. The Clippers team was incredibly sweet, and I even got free rein to snap a few pics from the cement floor (not the court, don’t worry I behaved!).
