The LA Clippers’ new home, Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, was officially unveiled on Thursday during a grand ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by Clippers Chairman Steve Ballmer and Halo Sports and Entertainment CEO Gillian Zucker. The event attracted a host of celebrities, including Jennifer Lopez, Ashton Kutcher, Angela Bassett, and more, making it a truly star-studded occasion.
The highlight of the evening was an electrifying concert by Bruno Mars, who was joined by Lady Gaga to debut their new song, “Die With a Smile.” This unforgettable performance marked the perfect end to a night celebrating both sports and entertainment.
