The Race to Replace a Cracked Dam
Infrastructure 09 Aug 2023
This is one of the most expensive sports venues ever built and the costliest NBA arena in history — the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.Set to open in August 2024, it’s the new home of the LA Clippers and a longtime pet project for Steve Ballmer — the eccentric and ultra-wealthy former Microsoft CEO. But with a capacity of less than 18,000, why does it have a bigger price tag than most NFL stadiums?
The remarkable feat of construction officially opened on 6 May 1994, creating a physical link between the UK and Europe.
The $4.2BN project, designed by MANICA Architecture, will replace the Bears existing base at the historic Soldier Field.
The £1BN development at Blackfriars will see the construction of a 45-storey new office tower alongside two 40 and 22-storey residential structures.
