The Wall! is a place by Clippers fans and for Clippers fans. Anyone else, including Chris, is an intruder. It’s a 4,500-seat area that’s aptly named, so steep with 144 stairs leading from the court to the top level that even a mountain goat would get dizzy. It is the student section for Steve Ballmer University.

With a section of seats behind the basket for only the most passionate fans, Clippers have created a home court advantage unlike any other NBA team.

Then it was silent in there. That’s one of the best feelings, especially late in a game.” pic.twitter.com/9j2HKwZczl

The Wall at the Los Angeles Clippers' Intuit Dome is 51 rows of fans trying to create a distraction for the opponent. And it got loud Wednesday.

The $2 billion Intuit Dome made its regular season debut Wednesday night, and its distinctive features left an immediate impression.

Suns star Kevin Durant scored 25 points on 8-of-17 shooting, while Bradley Beal pitched in 24 points on 8-of-12 shooting in the victory. Durant, who has played in plenty of arenas - both new and old - over the course of his basketball career, loved the Intuit Dome and showered praise on Clippers owner Steve Ballmer in the process.

The Wall in the Los Angeles Clippers' Intuit Dome helped for a key quarter against the Phoenix Suns in the arena's debut.

For a quarter century, the Los Angeles Clippers were the clear second team in their home arena. The first game at the brand-new Intuit Dome showed a Clippers' home-court advantage right away.
