With its proximity to the airport and beaches, clean air, diverse businesses and wonderful community, El Segundo is the perfect place for us to be,” President Jeanie Buss said Friday. “We’ve been here for the past 15 years with great success, and we’re thrilled to secure the perfect spot to expand on that success and remain for many years as a part of this vibrant and growing area.”
The new facility will serve the team’s practice faciility as well as the corporate offices, and an exhibition court where the Los Angeles D-Fenders will play their home games.
