Report: Clippers Owner Steve Ballmer in Advanced Talks to Buy LA Forum from MSG 快艇老板Steve Ballmer 已经在深入探讨跟麦迪逊花园广场集团买下论坛球场 Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer is reportedly close to purchasing The Forum in Inglewood, California, from the Madison Square Garden Company. 快艇老板接近从麦迪逊花园广场买下论坛球场 Kevin Arnovitz of ESPN reported the negotiations are in the "advanced" stages, and buying it "would clear a major hurdle in the Clippers' efforts to construct a new home arena in the vicinity." 这样盖新球场最大的绊脚石去除掉 The Clippers released a statement about the negotiations but did not confirm the "advanced" part: "The Clippers continue to pursue plans to build a state-of-the-art, 18,000-seat basketball arena and entertainment complex in Inglewood and are currently working with the city to successfully complete the comprehensive Environmental Impact Report. We are examining every possible way to resolve our differences with Madison Square Garden Co. regarding our new arena." Arnovitz explained that MSG and chief executive officer James Dolan have been in a lengthy legal battle with Inglewood and Ballmer regarding the area. Dolan said the city violated a previous agreement by helping the Clippers plan a new arena. He also said Murphy's Bowl LLC, which is owned by Ballmer, represented the Clippers and was able to secure land near The Forum that MSG was under the impression was being used for a technology park. As of now, the Clippers share Staples Center with the Los Angeles Lakers and the NHL's Los Angeles Kings. The Clippers' lease at Staples Center runs until June 2024, and Ballmer would like to be the lone NBA team in a basketball complex instead of sharing their current venue with the famous Lakers. It is not difficult to envision the Lakers and Clippers facing each other in a playoff series this season with the majority of the fans pulling for the Purple and Gold even during the Clippers' "home" games. The Lakers have a legacy of championships and some of the most famous and talented players in league history, while the Clippers have yet to win a title. Owning an arena in Inglewood would ideally help the Clippers carve out a bigger percentage of fans in the Southern California area and further separate from the Lakers brand. 懒人包:麦迪逊花园广场一直靠腰快艇球团盖新球场的事, 因为球场不是只有打球,还有演唱会......等活动,所以麦迪逊花园广场集团 也就是论坛球场的母公司,一直靠邀快艇球团因为怕影响生意 一下说环境 一下说交通,所以Ballmer乾脆把论坛球场买下来 这样就可以在2024年把新球场盖好球队移过去 完全是懒得再罗嗦,用钱叫你不要再罗嗦的概念 --
