"Each and every season is a new opportunity to welcome our fans to the amazing Huntington Park," said Clippers President & GM Tyler Parsons. "Last season we gathered a ton of feedback and used it to implement improvements in our fan experience. We're excited to debut those this season as we continue to enhance the look, feel and sound of being a Clippers fan. From new audio and visual enhancements to a revamped food and beverage experience and new seating areas, we've made a lot of positive updates and can't wait to welcome fans through the gates on Opening Day."
VIDEOBOARD ADDITION - The most visible update to Huntington Park is the new 17' x 31' videoboard installed on the left field building, which will improve the game presentation alongside the existing videoboard in right-center field installed in 2018. The ribbon board displays along the first and third base lines have also been replaced and extended, effectively tripling the size of the past displays.
NEW LOGE SEATS - Fans in Huntington Park's prime viewing location, the Loge seats, will enjoy new roller chairs in 2026. These spacious seats from industry leader 4Topps sit behind counter spaces for food and drinks. Loge seats feature wait service right to your seat and access to the Tansky Club on the second level.
WATERBIRD ROOFTOP PARTY AREA - The rooftop area atop the left field building has been renovated and will serve as one of the premier group party areas at Huntington Park. The Waterbird Rooftop includes a bar and exclusive bathrooms in addition to unique food and beverage menu offerings.
NEW SPEAKER SYSTEM - The fan experience at Huntington Park is being enhanced with improved audio. In addition to replacing existing speakers, new speakers have been installed throughout the concourse, including near the entrances and along both baselines. More new speakers point towards the outside plazas to carry each Clippers broadcast. New speakers are also now beneath the videoboard to enhance sound coverage on the playing field and for special events. In total over 150 new speakers have been installed throughout the venue.
SNACK SHIP - The Clippers will debut the "Snack Ship" this season, which will be available by purchasing a custom food offering or as an upgradable vessel to carry world famous Dime-A-Dogs. Earlier this offseason the Clippers announced that Sahlen's will be the team's new official hot dog provider.
REFRESHED FOOD & BEVERAGE OFFERINGS - New this season... chicken & beef gyros, burrito bowls, Philly cheesesteaks, party ball drinks, brisket nachos, BBQ pork mac-n-cheese, and much more.
