NBA Arenas

We showcase the NBA arenas for the 2021-22 season. The National Basketball Association is the world's biggest basketball league. And is made up mostly of teams from the US as well as one Canadian team. Thanks for watching!

Fun fact: Barclays Center in Brooklyn has a specific technique of lighting the arena to create more gloomy lighting

[@matthewcomfort5894]

The Lakers and Clippers both have unique lighting designs despite sharing an arena. The Lakers shine brightly on the court but dimly on the crowd. The Clippers like their fans to be seen on TV so they light the seats much more brightly

[@reverend_wintondupree]

As does MSG

[@lepidoptery]

most arenas probably have lighting options, since they double as concert and event venues when there aren't games going on

"I hear that the Curry here is the best in the world, much better than the Curry in Philadelphia." What a brilliant joke.

[@coryshannon3815]

For the 2006 and 2011 Finals, I feel like American Airlines was happy having their name all over it.

[@sagittated]

One very accurate stereotype of us in America is that we freaking love basketball. Even people who don't play wear the shoes. Some regions of the country are over the top, including the Midwest.(Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas) My high school in Illinois had a 2200 seat gym, and big games get 10k easily playing at the local college arena. NBA tickets are crazy expensive, but they have no problem filling up. College hoops are so frenzied with support, it's nuts inside some of those buildings. Parks in every city have public courts.

[@hehehehehe420]

[@jasonmilly3320]

I'd include KY in that mix too. One of the top basketball states and from someone in Florida like me, basically midwest. Closer to Canada than Florida, that's how I personally define north/south.

[@ethancbaker2002]

I’m from Kentucky and we love it religiously except last year cause we were trash and a lot of people stopped watching

[@michaelcreek3813]

In Indiana, a 2200 seat high school gym would be considered small. The average high school gym capacity in Indiana is about 3000.

TD Garden is easily the most accessible arena because it's literally built on top of North Station and you can get off your train and head straight to the arena. It's something that they really have going for them.

[@chocolatechipslime]

How easy is it to drive to the game and find parking?

[@dhs0801]

@@chocolatechipslime I'm not sure. For one thing there should be parking due to it being near a train station, but that also means non-fans would also being using it due to the train station. I take the train personally whenever I go there as it's so much easier imo. It also helps that the station is connected to multiple lines, which makes it easier for more people to get to the place.

Even if the Bradley Center is gone the Bucks now have perhaps the most daunting home court advantage in the NBA which is Fiserv Forum.

@Abdikarim Abdi I live in MKE, and the roof is fashioned in a way where the sound quality is made purer and therefore louder. It’s great for the concerts there, and it amplifies the crowd noise at games.

Great video. However, Little Caesars Arena was actually built to replace Joe Louis Arena, home of the Red Wings. It was built specifically for the Wings with the Pistons moving there as kinda an afterthought. I believe they announced their departure from The Palace a year and a half after construction began on Little Caesars.

[@joshtoney5787]

Actually, (coming from '22) It replaced both.

[@james58]

I can understand why you chose daytime views of the arenas but I would have definitely preferred seeing them around dusk which is when they are operating during game days. These arenas look 1000% better when they are lit up at night. They were designed to be seen that way, unlike football stadiums who are supposed to be beautiful at 1pm on a Sunday as well as at night if that makes sense

The Barclays Center exterior isn’t “rust-like” - it’s actually rust, on purpose. No, I don’t know why. I lived in the area when it was built and whenever it rained it stained the sidewalk and you had to look out for rust drops.

A couple fun facts about Vivint arena in Utah. As for the current look of the arena it's actually only a couple years old. The covered entry outside was added along with a few other cool features. The building did also play home to a arena football team at one point. And a minor league hockey team until they built a arena of there own. Which was also used during the 2002 winter games. The black seats in Vivint replaced green seats that had been there since the building opened. And as far as the jazz one of the teams primary colors used to be purple. Might get a few extra points from you now huh!

[@noonevincecarterfan]

Most positive about most arenas these days: Fantastic design. Worst: The recent trend of "lights out" on the fans, which makes the arenas seem cold and neutral since you can't appreciate their designs. The spot light on the court does seem to work in some arenas like MSG and Staples Center, but has completely destroyed the atmosphere in many others. Hopefully that trend will turn at some point. Best arenas in my opinion: Staples, ATX Arena, American Airlines Center, Ball Arena, Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Golden One Center, Little Ceasars Arena, Chase Center and State Farm Arena.

AT&T Center is also home to the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo, accounting for the neighboring barns. The domed structure next door is Freeman Coliseum, the original home of the rodeo (and again for the 2021 edition), also home to the WNBA's Stars one season when AT&T was under renovation, before they moved to Las Vegas. Speaking of which, how about the arenas of the WNBA? Some are shared with the NBA, but others aren't.

Thank you for making this video. I had no clue some of these buildings have changed their name within the past month. Footprint Center ?? Paycom Center ?? FTX Arena ??? What is going on here lol.

[@JBM425]

That’s what I hate about selling naming rights that don’t somehow incorporate the name of the city or something recognizable, such as “Invesco Field at Mile High” which is now “Empower Field at Mile High.” At least that way, you know it’s in Denver regardless of the sponsor.

[@rchilde1]

Many of the NBA arenas are named after local companies. In Oklahoma City, Paycom Center is named after the company built and hq there; it's old name, Chesapeake Energy arena was also named for an OKC-based company. Interestingly, the arena's first name - Ford Center, was not local but names sense have been. One more note on OKC, not sure when the video was created but the area around Paycom Center is much different today than was shown. Also, OKC is in the beginning stages of a new arena, the likely location being across the street from Paycom where they will tear down the old convention center and build a much larger footprint arena possibly surrounding it with development LA Live style. Stay tuned, OKC is definitely on the rise.

What many who have not been to a WWE TV event in person realize is that they create the illusion of a full arena, but in reality they use only about 30 to 50% of the seats. They block off entire sections not only for the Titantron and entrance ramp, but usually one entire side (in part for placing TV cameras in just the right spots).
