LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- U.S. Bank and the LA Clippers announced today a long-term sponsorship naming U.S. Bank as an official banking partner of the Clippers organization and its new arena Intuit Dome. The sponsorship begins immediately and includes marquee brand integrations, U.S. Bank lounge premium club space, broadcast elements, digital assets, community initiatives and card member benefits. Additionally, U.S. Bank will be a founding level sponsor of the new state-of-the-art Intuit Dome. The multi-year sponsorship will include community activations focused on supporting the Los Angeles area both on and off the court.
“We are proud to align ourselves with the LA Clippers organization, their fans, and partners,” said Carl Jordan, executive vice president and California Regional Leader for U.S. Bank. “Our organizations share a commitment to innovation and community, and our partnership will help support the outstanding events and basketball that will take place at the new Inuit Dome – and elevate the player and fan experience. Our partnership also will focus on making an impact across the Greater Los Angeles Community, both on and off the court. We have been a part of the fabric of this city for more than three decades, and with the Clippers, we are focused on supporting Los Angeles as it works to rebuild.”
U.S. Bank has a large presence in California, with more than 9,000 employees and nearly 600 branches. The Clippers also have a rich history in Los Angeles that has continued to develop with the opening of Intuit Dome. This sponsorship provides both organizations with an opportunity to engage more deeply with the LA community and the surrounding area.
“We are thrilled to welcome U.S. Bank as a founding partner of our new home, Intuit Dome,” said Scott Sonnenberg, Chief Commercial Officer, LA Clippers and Intuit Dome. “U.S. Bank has shown its commitment to the Los Angeles community and investments in sport that aligns with our goals as an organization. This partnership will serve as an exciting way to connect with Clipper Nation and create new fandom, across Los Angeles.”
U.S. Bank also has a longstanding heritage of investments in sports across the United States, at both the professional and collegiate level. Its Sports Finance Group has provided capital markets and corporate banking services to the five major U.S. professional sports leagues for more than two decades. This new sponsorship reinforces the bank’s belief in the power of sport, and extends its proud support for athletes, fans, and the community across its footprint.
To celebrate the new partnership, and as one of several ways the bank is giving back to the community, the two organizations have launched the Power Forward sweepstakes to give Clipper fans a chance at winning courtside seats for an upcoming game.
