Open Water Becomes Official Water of the LA Clippers and new home Intuit Dome

INGLEWOOD, CA —Open Water, the sustainable aluminum bottled water company, has been chosen as the Official Water of the Los Angeles Clippers and their new arena Intuit Dome. Opening Aug. 15, Intuit Dome will be the new home of the Clippers and will also host live concerts and events.

“We are so excited that the Clippers chose to partner with Open Water. The team’s commitment to finding products that not only enhance the fan experience but also put sustainability front and center really shines through and sets the bar for professional sports.” said Nicole Doucet, Co-Founder and CEO of Open Water. 

Intuit Dome was designed and built to exceed the most stringent environmental standards and will continue to implement a holistic approach to sustainability during operation. The arena is committed to reducing the impact of food and beverage services by preventing food and food packaging waste and its comprehensive waste reduction program aims to divert at least 90% of material away from landfills.

Open Water will be available at all Frictionless Markets for Clippers home games, concerts, and live events, as well as in the arena’s premium spaces. The multi-year partnership will eliminate the need for several million plastic bottles. Through a joint initiative called Threes for the Seas, funds will be dedicated to climate-focused nonprofits every time a 3-pointer is scored by the Clippers during home games. Open Water and the Clippers will also host a community event each year that benefits the environment.

“Open Water is the perfect partner for our new home, Intuit Dome. Their aluminum bottles use post-consumer material, are easily recyclable, and their company, like ours, prioritizes sustainability,” said Scott Sonnenberg, Chief Commercial Officer, LA Clippers and Intuit Dome. “We’re thrilled to work with Open Water to give back to our planet while providing easy, sustainable options for fans to enjoy at Intuit Dome games and events.”

Intuit Dome is built different - it will redefine fans’ expectations for live experiences and change the sports and music landscape in Los Angeles. Its concourse was designed to put every menu item within a two-minute walk of every seat, to allow fans to get back to the action.
