NBA arenas are probably the hardest to rank and least interesting just because they are all so similar. The Bucks arena design is very unique though

[@Okieant]

Seriously. He’s making me defend where the Nets play while I’m a Knicks fan. Barclay’s is not cramped in the slightest. Its very spacious and easy to move through. The problem is the actual seating. Its bowls are set up really weird and the upper seats feep so far from the action. MSG is #1 because there are no bad seats, the acoustics are incredible, and add in rabid Knicks fans and no arena comes close to it. Where the Jazz used to play in the 90s came close where the dB level would get in the hundreds but that was about it. Plus MSG has the Chase Bridge which is very cool. The knock on MSG is in fact how cramped it is when you’re in the arena trying to get to your seat. But once the games start, you don’t care

[@mortenpotzdidler2790]

I have no idea if it's changed due to the renovation, but the Delta Center used to be a very unique arena. It was designed so the seating was basically cantilevered and stacked onto the court, creating a massive amount of sound and intimidation for opposing teams. It also has/had a glass design, including windows at the top, that would change the lighting on the court when it was night versus day. The building is also rather important as far as major regular season, playoff and Finals moments taking place there, including the assist that made Stockton the all-time leader, the steal that made him the all-time leader, the game where Stockton made the Full-Court Pass to Malone to defeat Chicago (Game 4, 1997 Finals), the Flu Game (Game 5, 1997), and the site of Jordan's Last Finals Game. The NBA fanbase's complete lack of care about details like these is pretty typical, but it makes for a disappointing and rather ignorant video on the subject. Sad to say, this was discovered after the first entry on this list. Do better.

[@RamonAcosta191]

MSG should be top 3! Something special about the Court lighting raining from the iconic ceiling, the sound system, the noise, great view from every seat, and most beautiful ceiling of any arena wordwide.

[@chipmillard5043]

I'm sorry, Madison Square Garden is the world's most OVERRATED arena. The concourses are cramped, the "ring" upper level above the regular upper deck is just bizarre, and you have to go up, up, up just to get inside. It also gets docked points in my book for replacing the original New York Penn Station building, an architecturally beautiful structure. It's biggest positive is its location, it is very easy to get to/from the arena, especially if you aren't driving.

[@RamonAcosta191]

@chipmillard5043 I agree on some of your points, as far as how high you have to get to the upper ring. Also, the corridors are a bit cramped. But what do you expect from an Arena in the middle of Manhattan, the most condensed City in USA, perhaps the world. Inside the arena itself, is where you can see the magic with the most beautiful and most iconic ceiling in any arena world-wide. The downward curved shaped ceiling to the center, creates this path for the crowd noise to concentrate in the middle of the court, which is why 99% of players always say that MSG is one of the best arena to play, the concerts are amazing as well, again because of the lighting and specific acoustics created specifically by the downward curved shaped ceiling. Last but not least, it is in the middle of The City, right above a transit hub, which makes it so easy to reach without driving.

I think there’s other things you have to take into account when ranking arenas. For one, actually having been to enough arenas to make a good assessment of them and those you haven’t been two. Just using some pics off google don’t accurately reflect them. For two,the concourse and walkability when you’re not in the actual seats is a big part of how good they are. Cramped and dim concourses are ever fun to walk around. Also the location of the arena itself, accessibility, and parking should also play major factors. If an arena has a fan area or is in a poppin neighborhood/downtown that alone kinda makes it better than ones that sit in a parking lot with nothing around.

[@frankiefeeves]

Would definitely watch your arena rankings if you ever did one lol

[@chipmillard5043]

Totally agree. Using some of the arenas I've been to as examples: *Barclays Center (Nets) is not particularly good inside the arena. The upper concourse is very narrow (strange for an arena less than 15 years old), the upper deck seats are far away from the court (and it is also a big upper deck), and the lower level end court seats lack leg room. (On the positive side, Barclays Center is very well located if you are using transit to get there.) *FedEx Forum (Grizzlies), another basketball-focused arena, has the same "upper deck is far from the court" issue as Barclays Center. It is close to Beale Street, which is a positive. *Staples Center (Lakers & Clippers) has dead areas in significant sections of the upper level concourse where there are no access points to the seats, no concession stands, no anything. It's like they ran out of money or something. *Madison Square Garden (Knicks) has a tremendous location access-wise, but its concourses are narrow, it is located well above ground level (you go up, up, and up just to get inside), and the ring deck above the regular upper deck is ridiculous IMO. *On the other hand, Capital One Arena (Wizards) is generally solid in all aspects (albeit a little bland), though its dual use for basketball and hockey does push the upper level back a bit on the end courts. It is also very well located transportation-wise. *Wells Fargo Center (76ers) is a very similar venue to Capital One Arena, though it generally has wider concourses, especially in the lower level behind the side courts. On the negative side, it is surrounded by a sea of parking lots and other sports stadiums. (I personally hope the 76ers do build the Center City arena they are proposing so it is near many other amenities.) *State Farm Arena (Hawks) has a strange design in that it has a "regular" seating design on one side of the arena and a "club level and luxury suites" design on the other side of the arena, similar to NFL stadiums like Ford Field (Detroit) and Levi's Stadium (San Francisco/Santa Clara). I'm not a fan of that asymmetrical design.

Unfortunately, just like many of his other videos, depressed ginger get some facts wrong. Outside of that, in defense of Delta Center, which he has ranked as the worst arena in the association… It has been ranked as one of the most difficult places to play ever since it’s opening in 1991. Yes, the outside is nothing but a concrete and glass box. Yes, is a two deck approach. Yes, there has been talks of a new arena… But the community is strongly against that. Delta Center is beloved in Salt Lake City. Because of the seating arrangement, the fans are right on top of you when you are standing on the floor. It is loud, it is aggressive, it is intimidating. Even when the Utah Jazz are not a great team, they are hard to beat at home and a lot of of that has to do with the arena. I’m sure I speak for the vast majority of Utah Jazz fans when I say we will happily be last on your list if it means we get to Delta Center .

I have a 10-game plan for the Sacramento Kings at Golden 1 Center this season. They are nosebleed seats, and my one quibble is that it is a bit of a steep hike to get up to that next-to last row. Still, the view is excellent and I otherwise can't complain. I haven't been to many other NBA arenas to compare (I've been to Crypto and been meaning to go to Chase Center. I did go to Oracle back in the day.), But G1C is definitely special, even if it isn't as big as some of the other arenas in the league. There are lot of neat little architectural touches inside, and it definitely feel brighter and airier than the old Arco (RIP) used to be.

Target Center's green roof is primarily about a lot of non-basketball things. One of those being reducing untreated stormwater runoff flowing into the Mississippi by about 1 million gallons per year. It also serves to reduce cooling costs of the arena in the summer, and provides a fairly isolated research area for plants and insects that's fairly safe from invasive species compared to ground level fields.

For the record Target Center did have the interior renovated. Its was done (in general) at the same time that the exterior was done. Problem is that you can only do so much with the existing footprint and that footprint is just too small and only allowed so much work to be done as far as modernization. Hopefully with the team now winning and the soon to be change in ownership something will get done that keeps them in Minneapolis. The Las Vegas Timberwolves doesn't really have a ring to it...neither does the Seattle Timberwolves but I'm a bit of a homer on this one.

Plus, the outside is nice with restaurants and shopping center. Not to mention the Beam which is cool as heck. What I like most about G1C is that it's scream Sacramento and has Soul to it.

Gainbridge field house is my favorite.

Today I’m going to rank the top 10 cars of 2024 (based on their pictures)

As a Sac native thank you 🥹

[@NathanMoist]

Wells Fargo Center and TD Garden are almost identical inside. The only difference hiding them is repainting of facades in the very upper deck suites. Compare photos from when they both opened and you may not know which on is which minus sear colors.

It’s American Airlines Center for the Mavericks. American Airlines Arena was the name of the Miami Heat’s arena.

[@danielcolasanto8831]

You are spot on about the American airlines center... I wish the seats were bigger

[@keeganbrown9967]

Hopefully by 2032 my SPURS will have a beautiful new arena for WEMBY!!!

[@buckysbored]

Moda Centers “weird overhang” is necessary for keeping fans lined up outside dry during the rainy season. I went to a concert there back in September and it was really nice! That being said, the stadium 100% needs renovations

[@bscoggs]

Yessir G1C number 1!!!

[@thomes7318]

So many youtubers do second takes like at 2:55 and then don't even rewatch their own video before they upload to see if they missed anything in editing. It's seriously so lazy to not check your own work. Embarrassing.

[@caleblaw3497]

Why the hate of green roof? I think being environmental friendly is a plus. I like the Atlanta sign. I think it looks cool. The exterior of Barclays Center is good, but the interior is bad. I have been there once and the place is dirty.

[@GreggK6EGG]

How many of these NBA arenas have you been too?

[@CanesnJags12]

None

[@eddieannis9867]

He should not talk about them if he did not been to Any of the stadiums and Arenas we should All unsubscribe his channel

[@GreggK6EGG]

I love insight on them, but he talks as if he beens to all of them@@eddieannis9867

[@Hicks99]

A more interesting quality to judge, to me, is the way an arena fits into its community including its access.

[@lewieplayz]

I just went to a Celtics game. This is the best video ever I liked and I subscribed.

[@jeremyschep3589]

Every time I somehow watch Jazz home games I get flashbacks to when I was watching the 98 Finals as a kid…like it literally looks the same, logo change aside

[@aljohntabion2751]

Wow.. I from sac would never guessed number 1 spot.. top 10 ya.. number 1? I appreciate the love.

[@Kingmodyproductionz]

Same here

[@danieldougan269]

So proud Gainbridge Fieldhouse is still holding up in the top 10. It opened in 1999 as Conseco Fieldhouse, and some of those photos look pretty old with the original scoreboard. It has been modernized quite a bit without losing all of its original feel, which was a tribute to really old gyms throughout Indiana like Hinkle Fieldhouse. It's kind of a museum of Indiana basketball at all levels. I do miss some of the original features that were deliberately old-fashioned. They were removed in the renovations, but there are still cool elements like the hand-painted advertisements on the concourse walls.

[@devinjerry2780]

Just because an arena is old or looks a bit outdated it doesn’t make it a bad arena. Who’s affected by that?

[@to4178]

G1C 🔥

[@gameranger8689]

Are you able to do AHL arenas?

[@ynotw57]

when it came out, The Palace of Auburn Hills (Detroit) was a specimen to behold...at least for a Pistons fan. sad to see it go in favor of Little Caesar's Arena. "Failure Failure" *edit* I do like it for Red Wings games, though the fantastic Joe Louis Arena can never be duplicated (for better or worse).

[@davidadaway6836]

I agree especially seeing the palace at auburn hills has got all kinds of tweaks and renovations only for them to demolish it. I actually liked it better than LCA. Only thing I like about LCA is the Rahmeen club section and how easy it is to get to and from seats. The parking is horrible.

[@ryancurley2351]

While I’m not the best judge as I saw an islanders game there, the seating at Barclays is extremely cramped but everything else is spacious

[@pickles_mcgickle6583]

I love the moda center, u take it back right now
