As we have highlighted in a
previous blog post
,
sports hospitality is gaining recognition as a powerful way to enhance corporate value and strengthen engagement.
With the NBA (National Basketball Association) entering its new season, we turn our attention to one of the world's premier basketball leagues. Through exclusive game-day experiences with the Los Angeles Clippers, we explore how sports hospitality can create new value for businesses.
The NBA: A Growing Force Among America's Big Four Sports
In recent years, the NBA has continued to attract growing attention among America's Big Four professional sports leagues: MLB (baseball), NBA (basketball), NFL (American football), and NHL (ice hockey).
In particular, the Los Angeles Clippers are gaining more international attention following Rui Hachimura’s arrival this season, notably in Japan—his home country.
Basketball's fast-paced action makes it exciting even for those who are not avid sports fans. The electric atmosphere of an NBA arena, combined with halftime performances, cheerleaders, and other entertainment, makes every game a complete entertainment experience.
More Than a Game: Exclusive Experiences Before Tip-Off
JTB USA's sports hospitality offerings go beyond watching the game. By providing exclusive experiences before tip-off, we create opportunities for guests to connect more deeply with the excitement of the sport.
For example, the
Watch the Stars
program may include:
Early entry 120 minutes before tip-off, allowing guests to enter 30 minutes earlier than usual
Approximately 45 minutes of player warm-up viewing
These exclusive opportunities bring guests closer to the action, heighten the excitement of game day, and enhance the overall participant experience.
Elevate Game Day with VIP Hospitality
With VIP Hospitality, watching an NBA game becomes an exceptional experience that goes beyond standard seating.
Enjoying the game in an exclusive setting creates valuable opportunities for business, whether entertaining key clients or hosting executive events. Sharing the excitement of a live game helps bring people closer together and fosters deeper engagement.
Examples of VIP Hospitality Programs
Premium Seating:

NBA × Corporate Events: Make Sports the Stage for Business
An NBA game is an unforgettable experience in itself. When combined with a corporate event, it can create meaningful opportunities that go beyond memorable moments to generate real business connections.
Ideal applications include:
Incentives
Corporate Meetings
Year-end, New Year and Holiday Events
Networking Events
Sharing the excitement and emotion of live sports encourages interaction among participants and deepens their understanding of and connection with your company and brand.
By aligning NBA experiences with your business objectives, you can strengthen engagement and enhance corporate value through moments that participants will remember long after the final buzzer.
One More Reason to Look Ahead: Intuit Dome, the Future of Sports Entertainment
Home to the Los Angeles Clippers, Intuit Dome is a state-of-the-art arena featuring cutting-edge facilities and innovative fan experiences. It is also attracting attention as a venue associated with the global sporting events coming to Los Angeles in 2028.
Experiencing an NBA game at this next-generation arena offers more than the thrill of basketball. It is also an opportunity to discover a new side of Los Angeles, a city set to capture the world's attention.
