Clippers executive: the total cost of the new stadium is about $0.8 billion higher than the original plan. Ballmer pays close attention to the details.
Live Bar, November 24 -Gillian Zucker, the commercial operation director of Clippers, recently accepted an interview with American media today in the United States and talked about the new stadium Intuit Dome stadium.
When asked how much the exact investment is now compared with the original planned total investment of 1.2 billion US dollars, Zucker said: “In fact, this number has been fluctuating all the time, this may be the reason why you often see different numbers. When we started to build this project, the total investment was about 1.2 billion US dollars. However, after the outbreak, many things have changed, such as supply and material costs. Therefore, the construction cost has increased, and the current figure may be closer to 2 billion dollars.”
When asked what help Ballmer, the boss of the team, gave in the construction of the stadium, Zucker said: “He likes this project very much, so he has devoted a lot of attention. In fact, the most important thing for him is to let the fans get enough leg space when watching the match, so our seats are very comfortable. Fans will be willing to sit in these seats to cheer for the Clippers. In order to achieve this goal, we have built some small platforms so that we can test the real experience of different types of seats. Ballmer finally decided to install some real seats for the stadium instead of those used in the past, so that fans could get 1-2 inches (about 2.54-5.08) more leg space, these subtle changes will make a huge difference in the experience of watching the game.”
