I though this was going to be about arenas that are tough for shooters, or defenders, or stuff like that. I know the Alamodome used to be a difficult place to play for long range shooters, because the wide open area behind the baskets, caused a huge glitch in the depth-perception of shooters, which made 40% 3 point shooters there such as Danny Ferry, or Mario Elie, much more incredible.

This is really about the teams and history that the arena's hold. If Boston Garden was still around, that would be number 1 because of the legendary Celtics...

this was a disappointment... I hope they compile a top 10 for my idea above.

I believe the court was also sloping down one side at the Alamodome. It wasn't just a flat court.

As for the list, well it was pretty predictable tho i'd put the Delta Center in the top 5.

Sacramento is by far the loudest arena I've ever been to, and that includes the Spectrum. It's just so small, so a minimal amount of noise is just amplified.

i still dont think its louder. not only that, were crazier and we stand for every damn shot. ive never seen any other teams fans get on their feet for every shot. and if u havent been to wachovia then dont make judgements, ive been to both and theirs a big difference.

Tell me the games you've seen at ARCO? Over the past 6 years the Kings have won about 90% of their home games by 10 or more points. Blowouts by the home team will take the croud out of games pretty fast.

to be honest with u i really dont kno exactly who they were, my uncle has a has a house down there so im down there every other yr or two. but in my honest opinion i dont think its anywhere near as loud as philly.

Been to both arenas (Philly during the Finals) and Arco is louder.

The fans are on top of you at Arco.Wachovia is like any of the new Arena's...Big and cavernous.And that takes away from the atmosphere and loudness of the fans.

Re: NBA's most difficutl arena's

Arco is definitely louder, while i've never been to games there you can just tell on the TV that the fans are into the game and the sound carries well. It's the only arena in the NBA that has a college atmosphere (except for Utah back in the 90s with Stockton and Malone)

wachovia is def not big at all. compared to other arenas its pretty small. that tells me right there, uve never been there. its just my opinion and it wont change. ive been to about 20 games at arco and plenty at wachovia and i believe its louder.

im not saying ur wrong, but theirs a huge difference from watching a game on tv and actually being there, and u cant really tell on tv what its like till uve actually been there. but by far from my time at both arenas, the OVERALL atmosphere is much more crazy and hectic at wachovia even with empy seats then arco.
