Frontwave Arena to Host San Diego Clippers’ Epic Home Opener

Basketball fever hits North County as the San Diego Clippers make their spectacular debut at the dazzling new Frontwave Arena! This isn’t just any home opener—it’s a celebration honoring local legend Bill Walton, complete with tie-dye magic, rockin’ tunes, and edge-of-your-seat basketball action.

Party Before the Paint

The pre-game Fan Fest explodes into life at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park Plaza. From 4 PM to 6 PM, you can dance to Electric Wasteband’s electrifying Grateful Dead covers, watch kids go wild in the Kid Zone, and even show off your skills during the pre-game shoot-around (first 100 fans only).

Plus, the first 3,000 fans through the doors score an awesome Bill Walton tie-dye-inspired t-shirt.

Game Time Glory

The San Diego Clippers face off against the Rip City Remix in their spectacular new 7,500-capacity arena. With luxury suites, VIP viewing decks, and an incredible open-air patio, North County basketball has never looked this amazing!

See you there!

History happens on Friday, November 8, at Frontwave Arena, as San Diego basketball and San Diego local legend Bill Walton come together for an unforgettable night. Fan Fest kicks off at 4 PM, with the game to follow.
