It’s better than a lot of nba arenas.

[@benwhealler4278]

So a glorified high school gym with hang down rims is #1......give me a break. Spare me the history and atmosphere crap. On pure architecture, it's complete crap. Also, GT being so low on this list is a joke too. McCamish looks much more like an actual arena than most on this list.

[@seanhogue6410]

Really gimme a break 9thousand seats BUT THATS WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL, STOP SMOKING EXPIRED CRACK

[@sandybeachsean6880]

You are on point and I totally agree. Why is a high school gym #1 (Duke)? Really? My own high school gym was this size and no one said it was the sanctuary of college basketball?

This makes no sense. After trashing some ACC arenas because of a lack of seating capacity, he names Cameron the best of all? I'm sorry, something other than the arena itself is informing your judgment.

[@Djjvideos10]

NC State has 40,000 students... it is well worth having PNC Arena and when the team is good, or UNC/DUKE comes into town that Arena is packed and loud

[@caidenjackman3362]

Pnc arena was built for nc state. Also it’s not a small school, it’s the biggest in North Carolina. Please do research before you speak.

[@CJL1567]

NC State has the same issue as Syracuse, too big of an arena. But at least theirs doesn't have to be cut off like Syracuse's. I like NC State's arena a lot. higher than it was listed.

[@3Dsjk]

The JMA Wireless Dome will be getting the new seats this summer. The seats will be folding plastic, navy color like in the rendering. The lower levels will get 20" wide seats with armrests, while the upper deck gets 18" seats without armrests. Each seat takes up more space than the old benches, because people are wider than they were 45 years ago, and they have to widen the aisles, so capacity will be reduced about 15%. Work should begin right after commencement in the middle of May, which gives them a full 3 1/2 months to get it done before football season. They really killed it with the renovations a few years ago. Real air conditioning, the new lights inside look great, the scoreboard over the field is massive, and the seats will elevate it even further.

[@mi1epo2t_33]

Dean Dome sucks…multiple reasons. Upper Level and Lower Level with one concourse for both…if you have to go to the bathroom at halftime…good luck. Also, the seats are smaller and you have less legroom than at PNC Arena.

[@maxminelli1159]

It’s still an amazing experience and amazing culture to go there. The one bad thing is the bathrooms.

[@Baloothepibble]

Carrier dome is ugly, looks like garbage.

[@benwhealler4278]

It's literally just half a football stadium. Complete garbage.

[@minthu4515]

Do some research before making a video, NC State is the largest school in the Carolinas

[@ryansth16]

Yeah true point. And misspeaking happens but calling it an nba arena the 2nd time. Could have edited that out

[@40EastTrill]

NC State is only the biggest university in NC. So idk how PNC is too much when you admitted that a professional hockey team also plays there. Cameron Indoor at #1 is asinine. That place is a dump. Probably the worst one. There was definitely bias in these rankings.

[@greysonspeckhart8687]

Please explain why Cameron Indoor is a dump?

[@greysonspeckhart8687]

@@40EastTrill I’ve been to Cameron Indoor and PNC and the Dean Dome for games. While Cameron definitely isn’t the most modern arena (which seems to be the only thing you care about) Cameron has historical value and a prestige to it basketball fans have to admire. To me it just sounds like when you went to Cameron (if you have) your team probably got blown out bad 😢

[@40EastTrill]

@@greysonspeckhart8687 My team just won at Cameron and owns those punks 😂. It is small, old and bland. There's been plenty of stadiums that have historical value that still suck. Sounds like you're just a fan. In fact, with your last reply I smell Dookie.

[@Nclght]

Size of the university is irrelevant. I mean NC State lets anybody attend, so what do you expect ? BTW UCF has 68000 students and doesn’t have a facility that large with average game attendance of 9800. NC State has an average of 13000 ( Gotta work late and get up early to slop hogs, ya know) . UNC has half the students but have an average attendance of over 19000. Also by bigger school, he probably means bigger in basketball. 😂😂😂

I usually tend to agree with your assessments on different arenas. But Ginger, I have to say you're buggin' if you think for one second that Cameron Indoor is better than Louisville's KFC Yum Center or even UNC Dean Smith Center. SMDH!!!

[@JustSomeDude_.]

I see it as a louisville fan if your looking at it from a quality perspective louisville is unmatched, largest basketball focused arena in the country and one of the newest/nicest + an awsome location in downtown on the river but it dosent have the same history or presence that cameron does

Just a heads up LittleJohn coliseum doesn’t actually look like that on the outside anymore they renovated it about 10 years ago it’s much more modern looking now

[@Cerby1979]

Louisville should have an NBA team based off of that arena but the league won’t give it to them due to its proximity with Indianapolis (home of the Indiana Pacers).

[@isaiahevans4930]

Well also the biggest reason is due to the fact that Kentucky already draws a shit ton of money from Kentucky basketball. Havin the top ncaa program and brand gives the state no need for any major league sports. It’s a weird an exclusive case.

[@jcal2115]

​@@isaiahevans4930 but you would think with the fandom for basketball the uk and ul fans could team up to be extremely supportive for an nba team. Not to mention the amount of uk alumni in the league

[@MannyLoxx2010]

You all need to understand that Ginger's rankings also include the history, reverence, and mystic of the arena, coliseum, stadium, etc. The interior, the exterior, the materials used, the color, the patterns, the design, the concept of the building, etc, all add up to Ginger's rankings. He has a video from 2021/2022 explaining the criteria he uses for his rankings! I don't always agree with his rankings, either, but he has a very thorough list of things he looks for in reference to criteria/criterion when ranking all things in reference to arenas, coliseums, stadiums, etc!

Any rating that has that barn, Cassell, in the top ten is sus.

[@bradparnell614]

It's amazing to me when I did the math how many millions of dollars that Duke has lost in ticket sales by not building a bigger arena 30 years ago. Suffice it to say it would have paid for itself many years ago and that's not counting profits from concessions.

[@ripwatts373]

syracuse is terrible and the pete is easily #1

[@cameronhart6716]

NC State does technically have its own arena. The NC State women play in the old arena, Reynolds Coliseum, very small but good for the sports that use it. Same for UNC, they play in the old Carmichael Arena. Both of them would be near the middle of the list for me if they're included. You are ranking all ACC Basketball areans, these count.

[@AC-im4hi]

PNC should be way higher. The outside is meh but the inside is the best in the conference. Cameron is a high school gym and honestly should be last

[@Buckwheat56]

lol at Cameron indoor #1. Place is a dump. Should be last.

[@recneps8672]

Lol bro you need to start researching before you film. NC State is the largest university in the state....and is generally top 10-20 in attendance in all of college basketball depending on how they're playing. So has no issue filling seats at PNC.

[@jwalk7134]

You have the Yum center at #3? I will never subscribe to this channel you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about

[@BostonTerrierDad623]

NC State plays inside a pro hockey arena, not nba - the Carolina Hurricanes🌀. Don’t get caught up in all these seats being empty. Win, you fill them up. Ask Iowa’s women’s program!! They’ve sold out at home & on the road & in the Minnesota TWolves arena for the entire B1G tournament. It’s all about the W’s.

[@O.G.KNOWLEDGE-RPG]

Just let you know in from NC and PNC was built for NC State not for the Hurricanes! State wanted a new arena because Reynolds and The Dorton arena both had grown outdated. They decided this in the 1980’s well before they got the Hurricanes in 1997. PNC was going to be built regardless of if the Hurricanes came to Raleigh

[@owenmalenius8965]

You realize that PNC arena was actually built for NCST basketball.

[@409edits]

Carrier Dome is hard to rank. Very unique, historic, good atmosphere (for big games). Since it is so big though, its usually gonna have some empty seats, and some seats are far from the action. Most of though all, from a non-nostalgia/atmosphere stand point it would easily rate last. Probably the worst ACC football stadium too.

[@76carmel]

McCamish Pavilion used to be known as Alexander Memorial Coliseum which has a unique nickname “The Thrillerdome.”

[@tonyjiang2328]
