Every item on the Dome Dozen menu in Inglewood’s new 18,000-seat Intuit Dome — opening as the new home of the Los Angeles Clippers this NBA season — is no more than a two-minute walk from every seat in the building. That includes the signature sushi dog.
The Clippers opened the 1,250,000-square-foot, multibillion-dollar arena this summer, just in time for the team’s first regular season home game on October 23. And by crafting an entirely new food-and-beverage experience with the Chicago-based hospitality company Levy — dubbed 310 Provisions — the Clippers say they are highlighting easily accessible, high-quality fan favorites as a key component of the dining experience.
Levy CEO Andy Lansing says the company worked with the Clippers throughout the construction of the arena to design kitchens and concessions to create a fully frictionless experience that eliminates the need for cash. That also means a diverse menu — many of the items are traditional sports fare, albeit with an L.A. twist — at all Intuit Dome food locations, including more than 20 checkout-free markets.
Gillian Zucker, CEO of Halo Sports and Entertainment, the parent company of both the Clippers and the Intuit Dome, says the combination of quality foods that fans crave, priced fairly and within a short distance of every seat is “unmatched amongst venues.”
One item on the Dome Dozen menu that has a bit of L.A. flair is what the Clippers call the famous sushi dog, available with spicy tuna or in a California roll style. Described as a “sushi burrito in size with the portability of a hot dog,” the dish is the main spotlight of the specially crafted menu that also includes hand-rolled maki, nigiri, and bento boxes made by an in-house sushi chef.
Beyond its Asian-inspired offerings, the food selection runs the gamut: There’s an all-beef Niman Ranch Clipper dog; a Bavarian-style soft pretzel based on an Austrian family recipe; churros with dulce de leche dipping sauce; an all-vegan buffalo cauliflower wrap; rotating artisanal sandwiches that will feature house-made aioli and sauces; market salads; snacks sourced from local California purveyors; a selection of on-the-go ice cream and frozen treats; and nachos with blue, red, and white tortilla chips to match team colors and “designed for maximum queso pick-up.”
Through the first few concerts at the Intuit Dome, the sushi dog, pretzel, and churros were the most popular items off the menu, a Clippers spokesperson told Food & Wine.
The streamlined service at the Intuit Dome extends beyond the Dome Dozen menu, as 310 Provisions also features five signature items, what the team calls “must-try specialty dishes for foodie fans.”
The double cheeseburger is a propriety burger blend with brisket, short rib, and chuck — and comes topped with New School American cheese, pickles, and a secret sauce. Meanwhile, the L.A. street dog is a bacon-wrapped Niman Ranch all-beef hot dog with garlic mayo, seasoned peppers and onions, with condiments on a split-top bolillo bun — a variation on the baguette that’s typical in Mexican food. The K-town BBQ chicken & waffle fries include fried chicken thighs tossed in Korean barbecue sauce from Los Angeles favorite Seoul Sausage. A four-edge pan pizza is made on-site before each game and comes in pepperoni, cheese, and a third variety rotating each game, while empanadas wrap the signature menu, sourced from local Latin-American grocery chain Continental Gourmet Market.
“We’re rolling out an entirely new hospitality playbook,” Lansing says. “That will feed fans an incredible culinary experience with speed and skill, muscle and finesse, in a way nobody has ever seen.”
