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
Yo I was just sitting here thinking about how it seems pretty silly to rank arenas when you’ve never even to them. You can actually tell from his descriptions that he’s never set foot in most of them. It’s almost like ranking landmarks and tourist attractions around the world without ever actually visiting them. Very strange lol
It sounds like the beam isn’t unique but once you experience seeing the beam in real life it’s like an addiction a different type of happiness it’s like you’re seeing aliens for the first time
I like the ATLANTA on the outside of the State Farm arena,I can tell it says Atlanta and I dont see why it bothers you.Also the American Airlines arena is the old name for the Miami Heats arena,the one in Dallas is Anerican Airlines Center.
Delta center very under rated, should be in the 20-23 range. One of the best places to watch a game. Sold out every night. Steepest seats in the league. Come see a game
Agreed, Delta Center is great for basketball. No bad seats. Its not cavernous. Crowd is very loud, and the building helps a lot with that. Its a nice experience after the renovation.
I agree totally. Delta Center is great for all seats. Bro said a downside was its "two deck" interior then proceeds to down the rest of the arenas that most also have two deck seating. 🙄
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.
The Delta Center is absolutely alright. It's old, but we'll kept, clean, decent spacing, good location close to public transportation and parking. I just wish it were bigger.
Never heard the author mentioning the temperature and humidity, acoustics, accessibility and entry bottlenecks, cleanliness of bathroom and concourse area, comfort of general admission seating, parking, and other "surprise costs". The future videos can be improved futher by going beyond commenting on pictures.
Video suggestion: rank the arenas and stadiums you've physically been to. Fixation on natural light and small upper decks are getting played out. You're extremely well spoken and I'm here for it. I'll take content on the product on the court/field over a stadium that's 50 years old BTW. No hate. Keep the hustle up but imo stadium content has a ceiling
The deck sizes and nature light is not played out, it's literally the modern trend in arenas. I personally like the mid-tier seating better than large upper bowls because it puts you right on top of the action.
Yep. here is what i commented: One good thing I'll say about the Delta Center is that there is no track/walkway around the court (behind the courtside seats)...and then on top of that, the angle of the seats gives the impression that the fans are just breathing right down on you. It's layout also keeps sound in well so its one of the loudest stadiums in the league. All of the gives the Jazz a great home court advantage and when games at the Delta Center get wild that stadium will blow away your ear drums. Fun time. Also, the green seats were outdated and although the black ones aren't as bright or fancy color wise, they are classier and more comfortable.
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.
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.
People have raved about this building since it was new in the 90s as America West Arena. For good reason- I’ve heard Walt Frazier compare it to Madison Square Garden on Knicks broadcasts for its excellent seating layout and theatrical lighting. I’m glad it got quickly immortalized in the 93 NBA Finals with abundant footage of MJ vs Barkley on that court.
Golden 1 Center is the greatest they open the entire door during the sunny days. The beam is its own experience and DOCO is 10/10. Sacramento is the most underrated city don’t visit plz the traffic already be crazy
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.
Thank you for illuminating those important facts...hence, the 💚'Green Roof'. People just don't get it!🙄 'Green Technologies' are so crucial for our environment going forward! We need MORE! E.G., the CHASE CENTER in SF... home of my beloved Dubs, 💙💛 GO WARRIORS 🙌, is a certified Green Business, even though it does not have a 'Green Roof'. Thanks again for the edification! 🌍 Happy Earth Day 2024 😊
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.
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.
@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.
One thing i love about TD garden is that it has North station in it so a ton of trains from all over mass run right there so super easy to get to games without driving into boston.
The best thing I like about Golden One is they built the stadium into the ground. When you walk in you walk down to the court and first level it’s awesome. Best arena in the NBA by far.
Great Ranking! What makes the Golden One Center so cool is the Purple Laser Beam firing from it after a Kings Win!! Such an exciting and loud environment! Kings fans are diehard! I would recommend going if you haven't gone! Light the BEAM! 💜
I remember when the first renderings of the Chase Center came out and it looked like a toilet bowl. It got so much criticism. They totally changed the exterior design.
Props for showing love to the new Pacers Fieldhouse 🔥 I would personally say based on recent exterior and interior renovations it's top 5….if u see it in person
I`m not a Jazz fan but the Delta Center is not the worst Arena in the NBA. I like it a lot better than the Barcley Center. The interior of the Barcley Center is the worst in the NBA, it has no soul.
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 .
If you go to the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in person, to an actual game, you'd rank it number one every time, WITH EASE! It's a reason why the arena had won best arena like 8 years in a row. Every seat is the perfect seat, great lighting inside, and is lively. It's close to everything, and it has good looking exterior. It should be number one, without a doubt.
Can you make a video “creating the best nba arena” basically covering all the best and newest things you would put in a nba arena if you were building one.
At the Golden 1 the huge windows open up and the Delta Breeze flows through, they do have screens so no bugs come in! The Beam was a brilliant idea its awesome! GO KINGS.
Yup. But that's what you get when you just Google pics and say that the outside looks like a boring box. Who cares? Its a renovated interior with nice amenities, downtown location, great design for basketball, and it gets LOUD. Fun place to watch a game. Much better than a lot of the multi-purpose / hockey arenas.
As a Suns fan I love our arena! We had a major renovation a few years ago on the interior and the fan experience is amazing! Also, the exterior looks good, especially from the front entrance of the building.
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
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. After 20 years of being in the toilet it would really suck to see them go somewhere else now that things are finally headed in the right direction.
I never understand it. Philadelphia and Boston have the exact same arena built at the exact same time and they always get ranked so differently for no reason
DC's arena is the same layout as BOTH of those, but it's built into a downtown city block full of bars and restaurants, but somehow it's the 3rd worst? Really?
I've been to 17 NBA arenas and Golden One Center really is the best I've seen so far. And then i would put Madison Square Garden at #2 and TD Garden #3.
The Wells Fargo center pictures you showed, was an old picture, and they just painted the bricks grey and there putting screens wrapped around the exterior
In Toronto were Raptors and Maple Leafs play at used to be called Air Canada Center. Now named Scottibank Area. In Portland used to be called The Rose Center now named Moda Center. In Los Angeles used to be called Stapples Center now Cypto Area were Lakers, Clippers and Kings played at [Clippers will get their own area in the fall].
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.
I went to the Nuggets vs Bucks game in March 2023 and the atmosphere was amazing compared to let's say the Dallas Mavericks games which is where I currently live in Dallas. The only thing is that the Ball arena felt very old and outdated to me compared to American Airlines center in Dallas
Beside the G1C exterior is dope, the interior they kept it a similar feelings like the old Arco Arena. Thats awesome from them to think about that while design a state of an art Arena. When you walk in the Arena, you instantly feel connected to the main floor even if you're on the upper deck. It's a close knit vibe feelings I get. 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. Especially when the Kings are winning. The energy in the Arena is so high that you can still feel it the next two days. Simply say, it is fun!

The upper bowl at Chase Center is waaaay too sloped. I have personally witnessed handfuls of individuals tumbling down the aisles. Even those who aren’t afraid of heights can get vertigo from being up in the nosebleeds.
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).
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.
It's not a rumor that the Mavericks are going to be building a new arena but reality. Cuban under the new ownership wants to at some point build an arena for the Mavericks that will also be part of a resort/casino entertainment complex. Of course, gambling in TX will have to be legal by then
Good work. Dont care so much about the rankings but the input was cool. It was just nice to see what every arena looks like in one short video. Well done.
No other arena compares to the United Center. The Chicago Bulls arena is easily THE best arena in the NBA. Attending a game there is more than sports ; it’s an immersive experience. It’s a world-class venue. They constantly renovate and modernize the interior. It has the best Jumbotron in the whole NBA. It’s the BIGGEST arena in the NBA. People around the world go to visit the house that MJ built. It has many amenities and making it a unique arena. It has been #1 in attendance for the past decade and till this day there are sell out crowds. I say it’s the best without a doubt. I guarantee if you attend to a Bulls game, you will change your mind #MadHouseOnMadison
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.
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.
Been to 9 different arenas-LA, NY, Boston, Memphis, Detroit, Sacramento, Golden State, Phoenix, and Indiana. For me, the best out of these 9 is Gainbridge in Indiana followed by Sacramento. Can’t speak on the rest since I’ve never been
What wasn't mentioned is that Golden 1 Center has hangar windows at the front entrance that open. Having those windows open on a warm night is awesome.
I can tell you. The theater is simply an escalator down and I believe it faces away from the bowl. And like any multi purpose basketball/hockey arena, the lower seats of the low bowl are removable so the hockey rink can go in and there is an industrial freezer that freezes the ice.
One good thing I'll say about the Delta Center is that there is no track/walkway around the court (behind the courtside seats)...and then on top of that, the angle of the seats gives the impression that the fans are just breathing right down on you. It's layout also keeps sound in well so its one of the loudest stadiums in the league. All of the gives the Jazz a great home court advantage and when games at the Delta Center get wild that stadium will blow away your ear drums. Fun time. Also, the green seats were outdated and although the black ones aren't as bright or fancy color wise, they are classier and more comfortable.
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.
Crazy how just a few years back the Kings and GSW had probably the two worst arenas in the NBA. Arco in Sac was horrible. I've been to both the new arenas and even as a Warriors fan I do have to say I like golden 1 better. The location is awesome with all the restaurants right outside the main entrance. Also went to a monster jam there and it was awesome.
I remember when Delta Center was new and state-of-the-art. I got to visit it when I was in Salt Lake, and I always thought it was weird how it was shaped. Like a rectangular cuboid. Looks more like a corporate office building. Most basketball arenas are elliptical. It'll always stand out to me because of those back-to-back Finals battles the Bulls had there, and where Jordan hit "the shot."
Frost Bank Center is built on the Freeman rodeo grounds. The Design was to purposely done to match the appearence of a barn/stable to match the surroundings scenery. It works for us.
Jurassic Park was a game breaker for Scotia Arena/Raptors games. If you couldn't afford or get tickets for the game, the fans would just congregate outside the arena and cheer for the team on location on the giant screen. Genius move. I met some Boston fans there who had decided to check it out at the time during their visit to Toronto and they fell in love with the atmosphere. What's awesome is that for every round we advance, they extend Jurassic Park another block for fans to take up. If you saw Jurassic Park during the NBA finals in 2019, there was a sea of fans stretching for over half a mile, we had to close off a few streets to accommodate all the people. It was awesome. Just for that alone, I will always love our arena.
Smoothie King Center, Target Center, and Paycom Center all 3 need to be replaced ASAP because they’re too small even the inside interior beyond outdated.
The Delta Center is unique because it's one of the only arenas built specifically for Basketball. The vast majority are multi-purpose, so the lower bowls aren't as steep, and are more spread out. The Delta's center lower and upper bowls are so steep, it amplifies the sound making it one of the most, if not loudest arena's in the NBA
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
I remember when the Grizzlies used to play in a Pyramid shaped arena back in 02

All of the gives the Jazz a great home court advantage and when games at the Delta Center get wild that stadium will blow away your ear drums. Fun time. Also, the green seats were outdated and although the black ones aren't as bright or fancy color wise, they are classier and more comfortable.
How many of these NBA arenas have you been too?

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.
Would definitely watch your arena rankings if you ever did one lol
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.
Agree
Footprint Center is fantastic . renovated top to bottom and looks like one of the most modern NBA arenas. Sleek design
I agree I love going there for suns games
People have raved about this building since it was new in the 90s as America West Arena. For good reason- I’ve heard Walt Frazier compare it to Madison Square Garden on Knicks broadcasts for its excellent seating layout and theatrical lighting. I’m glad it got quickly immortalized in the 93 NBA Finals with abundant footage of MJ vs Barkley on that court.
Literally. If this was peak renovation ide rate it damn near 30. But after the renovation it’s no beautiful in the inside and modern
Golden 1 Center is the greatest they open the entire door during the sunny days. The beam is its own experience and DOCO is 10/10. Sacramento is the most underrated city don’t visit plz the traffic already be crazy
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.
Thank you for illuminating those important facts...hence, the 💚'Green Roof'. People just don't get it!🙄
'Green Technologies' are so crucial for our environment going forward! We need MORE!
E.G., the CHASE CENTER in SF... home of my beloved Dubs, 💙💛 GO WARRIORS 🙌, is a certified Green Business, even though it does not have a 'Green Roof'.
Thanks again for the edification!
🌍 Happy Earth Day 2024 😊
The G1C at night when the beam is lit is visually orgasmic. Go Kings!
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.
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.
@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.
Madison square garden is horrible ..ima Philly guy and man Madison square garden has no feel it’s shitty looking
@@talkingmoney4499 It's all subjective. The acoustics are immaculate in MSG.
@talkingmoney4499 you're a Philly guy. Your opinion on anything New York is invalid 😂
One thing i love about TD garden is that it has North station in it so a ton of trains from all over mass run right there so super easy to get to games without driving into boston.
The best thing I like about Golden One is they built the stadium into the ground. When you walk in you walk down to the court and first level it’s awesome. Best arena in the NBA by far.
Barclays center did the same thing as well
Arco Arena was the exact same way.
Great Ranking! What makes the Golden One Center so cool is the Purple Laser Beam firing from it after a Kings Win!! Such an exciting and loud environment! Kings fans are diehard! I would recommend going if you haven't gone! Light the BEAM! 💜
I remember when the first renderings of the Chase Center came out and it looked like a toilet bowl. It got so much criticism. They totally changed the exterior design.
I remember that. Wouldve been the biggest toilet bowl ever 😂
As a Cavs fan I appreciate the ranking on the arena. Everytime I go to a game the experience is great.
Same I wasn’t expecting it to even be top 10
RMFH is great. It's centrally located. If you take the train you don't need to go outside to get into the arena. Very convenient
Props for showing love to the new Pacers Fieldhouse 🔥 I would personally say based on recent exterior and interior renovations it's top 5….if u see it in person
Why you want natural light for NBA arenas? They play most of their games at night
Not all nba games play at night
@@jacobngoshorts9733 That's why he said most
Because he's a residential home owner.
@@jacobngoshorts9733 Most start in the afternoon. Also, playing inside with natural light spilling in is bad for the players.
I`m not a Jazz fan but the Delta Center is not the worst Arena in the NBA. I like it a lot better than the Barcley Center. The interior of the Barcley Center is the worst in the NBA, it has no soul.
As a Nets fan, I agree. I hate it.
IT IS
It is bad
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 .
Light the beam! After decades of being in the outskirts of town at Arco, Golden One is such a breath of fresh air.
LIGHT THE BEAM
If you go to the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in person, to an actual game, you'd rank it number one every time, WITH EASE! It's a reason why the arena had won best arena like 8 years in a row. Every seat is the perfect seat, great lighting inside, and is lively. It's close to everything, and it has good looking exterior. It should be number one, without a doubt.
The ATLANTA stays!
I'm not in love with it

Even as a Chicagoan, I'm surprised you ranked the United Center that high
My guy , Delta Center is a great arena.
Fr. Since renovation it is for sure better than places like San Antonio
Yup. But that's what you get when you just Google pics and say that the outside looks like a boring box. Who cares? Its a renovated interior with nice amenities, downtown location, great design for basketball, and it gets LOUD. Fun place to watch a game. Much better than a lot of the multi-purpose / hockey arenas.
I think you meant it’s okay
As a Suns fan I love our arena! We had a major renovation a few years ago on the interior and the fan experience is amazing! Also, the exterior looks good, especially from the front entrance of the building.
some of these takes are wild dude, your fixation on grass on the roof is hilarious. you're gonna hate the new Lucas museum
He's just googling pics and making a shitty tier list based on his feelings
Sleeping on Ball Arena in my opinion. Not a bad seat in the house
I was shocked to see it so low. It's a great arena!
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
#14 is actually the American Airlines Center not the American Airlines Arena
What's the difference between an Arena and a Center if you don't mind me asking? Does a center have more stores?
@@nonayabusiness6170 The Arena is in Miami and the Center is in Dallas.
@@TheMarcusramseyThanks for the geographical clarification. I'm just asking if there's a difference in naming a NBA stadium an arena or a center.
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. After 20 years of being in the toilet it would really suck to see them go somewhere else now that things are finally headed in the right direction.
I never understand it. Philadelphia and Boston have the exact same arena built at the exact same time and they always get ranked so differently for no reason
boston has so much around the arena i feel like vs philly is just a parking lot
@@luvbreeezynone of that was taken into account though. Just the aesthetics from pics off google
@@luvbreeezy What you are saying is true, but the guy who did this video didn't really focus on each arena's surrounding development or lack thereof.
DC's arena is the same layout as BOTH of those, but it's built into a downtown city block full of bars and restaurants, but somehow it's the 3rd worst? Really?
I've been to 17 NBA arenas and Golden One Center really is the best I've seen so far. And then i would put Madison Square Garden at #2 and TD Garden #3.
The Blazers arena looks cool at night. The roofline is unique.
I live in Sacramento and go to the golden 1 center a lot for kings games glad to see our arena is appreciated
What good are natural light windows when most of the games are at night?
The Wells Fargo center pictures you showed, was an old picture, and they just painted the bricks grey and there putting screens wrapped around the exterior
i’m from memphis and the photos that you showed of the forum rate not up to date and it looks way better now

I recently went to a Nuggets game bro the atmosphere there was truly amazing Evan though they lost it was truly amazing
But it’s Colorado
I went to the Nuggets vs Bucks game in March 2023 and the atmosphere was amazing compared to let's say the Dallas Mavericks games which is where I currently live in Dallas. The only thing is that the Ball arena felt very old and outdated to me compared to American Airlines center in Dallas
@@letsgodancin1I was just at the nuggets vs bucks game back in January and yeah the atmosphere was amazing I agree the arena is outdated
7:25 they’re not done renovating the Wells Fargo centers exterior
Was at the kings game the other night and it’s an amazing arena! Should have posted a pic with the beam on.
Oh I’m a kings fan which game was it
Beside the G1C exterior is dope, the interior they kept it a similar feelings like the old Arco Arena. Thats awesome from them to think about that while design a state of an art Arena. When you walk in the Arena, you instantly feel connected to the main floor even if you're on the upper deck. It's a close knit vibe feelings I get. 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. Especially when the Kings are winning. The energy in the Arena is so high that you can still feel it the next two days. Simply say, it is fun!
As a kings fan thank you
It’s American Airlines Center for the Mavericks. American Airlines Arena was the name of the Miami Heat’s arena.
Video suggestion: rank the arenas and stadiums you've physically been to. Fixation on natural light and small upper decks are getting played out. You're extremely well-spoken and I'm here for it. I'll take content on the product on the court/field over a stadium that's 50 years old BTW. No hate. Keep the hustle up but imo the stadium content has a ceiling The G1C at night when the beam is lit is visually orgasmic. Go Kings! Delta Center is very under rated, should be in the 20-23 range. One of the best places to watch a game. Sold out every night. Steepest seats in the league. Come see a game The ATLANTA stays! 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. I agree about the G1 Center. And that's without you even mentioning the giant barn/garage doors that make it feel airy and open. I like the ATLANTA on the outside of the State Farm arena, I can tell it says Atlanta, and I don't see why it bothers you.

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.
It's not a rumor that the Mavericks are going to be building a new arena but reality. Cuban under the new ownership wants to at some point build an arena for the Mavericks that will also be part of a resort/casino entertainment complex. Of course, gambling in TX will have to be legal by then
Thumbs up given for Sacramento being ranked #1. Light the beam!!!
Good work. Dont care so much about the rankings but the input was cool. It was just nice to see what every arena looks like in one short video. Well done.
No other arena compares to the United Center. The Chicago Bulls arena is easily THE best arena in the NBA. Attending a game there is more than sports ; it’s an immersive experience. It’s a world-class venue. They constantly renovate and modernize the interior. It has the best Jumbotron in the whole NBA. It’s the BIGGEST arena in the NBA. People around the world go to visit the house that MJ built. It has many amenities and making it a unique arena. It has been #1 in attendance for the past decade and till this day there are sell out crowds. I say it’s the best without a doubt. I guarantee if you attend to a Bulls game, you will change your mind #MadHouseOnMadison

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.

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.
How did you rank these? Capital One Arena is incredibly nice never had any problems there
the location alone should put it atleast top 20
bro doesn’t like upper decks evidently
Been to 9 different arenas-LA, NY, Boston, Memphis, Detroit, Sacramento, Golden State, Phoenix, and Indiana. For me, the best out of these 9 is Gainbridge in Indiana followed by Sacramento. Can’t speak on the rest since I’ve never been
NO ONE cares about the exterior roof of any arena
Little Ceasars roof looks terrible, gotta deal with it 😂
Fr like the exterior sets the tone of he whole arena it's looks good on the outside but worse on the inside
Just because an arena is old or looks a bit outdated it doesn’t make it a bad arena. Who’s affected by that?

What wasn't mentioned is that Golden 1 Center has hangar windows at the front entrance that open. Having those windows open on a warm night is awesome.

Could you do a video on the design of the interior or MSG? I always wanted to know how the Theatre and the main arena are situated inside.
I can tell you. The theater is simply an escalator down and I believe it faces away from the bowl. And like any multi purpose basketball/hockey arena, the lower seats of the low bowl are removable so the hockey rink can go in and there is an industrial freezer that freezes the ice.
So the theater is under the arena? Or is it like basement level?@@ryancurley2351
@@ryancurley2351yup, basically a nice 4000 seater auditorium facing the other way from the bowl after you enter
One good thing I'll say about the Delta Center is that there is no track/walkway around the court (behind the courtside seats)...and then on top of that, the angle of the seats gives the impression that the fans are just breathing right down on you. It's layout also keeps sound in well so its one of the loudest stadiums in the league. All of the gives the Jazz a great home court advantage and when games at the Delta Center get wild that stadium will blow away your ear drums. Fun time. Also, the green seats were outdated and although the black ones aren't as bright or fancy color wise, they are classier and more comfortable.
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.
Crazy how just a few years back the Kings and GSW had probably the two worst arenas in the NBA. Arco in Sac was horrible. I've been to both the new arenas and even as a Warriors fan I do have to say I like golden 1 better. The location is awesome with all the restaurants right outside the main entrance. Also went to a monster jam there and it was awesome.
As a Sac native thank you 🥹
I remember when Delta Center was new and state-of-the-art. I got to visit it when I was in Salt Lake, and I always thought it was weird how it was shaped. Like a rectangular cuboid. Looks more like a corporate office building. Most basketball arenas are elliptical.
It'll always stand out to me because of those back-to-back Finals battles the Bulls had there, and where Jordan hit "the shot."
Gainbridge field house is my favorite.
What do natural light windows add? You lost me at that statement.
You contradicted yourself by first saying Chase Center has a really nice exterior but later on saying you don't really like the exterior 😂
Frost Bank Center is built on the Freeman rodeo grounds. The Design was to purposely done to match the appearence of a barn/stable to match the surroundings scenery. It works for us.
Woo hoo! G1C is #1. GO KINGS!
Jurassic Park was a game breaker for Scotia Arena/Raptors games. If you couldn't afford or get tickets for the game, the fans would just congregate outside the arena and cheer for the team on location on the giant screen. Genius move. I met some Boston fans there who had decided to check it out at the time during their visit to Toronto and they fell in love with the atmosphere.
What's awesome is that for every round we advance, they extend Jurassic Park another block for fans to take up. If you saw Jurassic Park during the NBA finals in 2019, there was a sea of fans stretching for over half a mile, we had to close off a few streets to accommodate all the people. It was awesome. Just for that alone, I will always love our arena.
Smoothie King Center, Target Center, and Paycom Center all 3 need to be replaced ASAP because they’re too small even the inside interior beyond outdated.
The Delta Center is unique because it's one of the only arenas built specifically for Basketball. The vast majority are multi-purpose, so the lower bowls aren't as steep, and are more spread out. The Delta's center lower and upper bowls are so steep, it amplifies the sound making it one of the most, if not loudest arena's in the NBA
The kings does have the best looking arena in the league
I live in MN. The Target Center needs to go. The renovations helped, but it was just lipstick on a pig.
Paycom Center (Originally Ford Center) was originally built to attract an NHL team and not NBA. Go Thunder!
As was the old Bradly Center
Voters approved a new arena, so this will be replaced by the end of the decade
