The latest reveal regarding the Los Angeles Clippers’ brand new arena made waves on Wednesday, as NBA fans learned of a wildly unique feature inside the team’s soon-to-debut Intuit Dome.

The Clippers released details and rules breaking down a exclusive new section of seats known as “The Wall.” Comprised of “51 uninterrupted rows of fans,” The Wall will stand stand tall behind one basket, and require spectators to not cheer for opposing teams or wear their gear. Season tickets will range from $5K–$25K.
