This list is SO WRONG. The Arrowhead Pond doesn't even have escalators. You have to take steps the entire way up to the nosebleed sections. That arena pipes the cheering in through its speakers to make the place seem livelier and louder.

How funny that Pepsi Center is on the list, yet Staples Center isn't. Staples is basically the same thing as Pepsi Center, only bigger. The crowd there is intense. They sell out their games, even when the team is bad.

The SJ Arena (Compaq/HP Center?) is very nice also.

Joe Louis and America West are the worst.

Winnpeg Arena was and always will be the loudest arena ever build. Made of Cement which meant all the noise stayed inside. When the fans got going, you could not hear yourself talk. The sights were good, the tickets cheap, food cheap but that was 95 prices. I wish they made a bigger one when they had the chance in 92. I will always remember that arena for the Jets and the always good times you had there. There were freaking chearleaders and who could forget BENNY and DANCIN GABE hahahah

Staples Center (Kings Palace) is a great place to see hockey games, and the fans are really into the games! The Arrowhead Pond (Duck Pond) is a great place to see games also but with the lack of interest from fans for their team it still makes the Staples Center the best arena in Southern California! The Shark tank cannot get as loud as Staples center in their best moment because Staples center is at the center of Hockey Town!

the whale used to play in the middle of the mall which was awesome cause everybody just hung outside it and partied before and after the game, the only thing that sucked was no tailgating, you guys down there must be living it up with that huh? anyway the inside was cool, nothing fancy just good old-old fashioned hockey going on!

are you nuts, the medowlands blows big time! and i’m a huge devils fan! you’ve got to be crazy if you think it is anywhere near mediocre! 1st off, parking blows big time(gee i get to park 3 miles away and walk through a long tunnel just to get to another friggin parking lot to walk through) the ticket prices and food are insane, the fans are the worst i’ve ever seen at a hockey game! and i’ve been to the finals twice!!! the games aren’t ever sold out, in 95 i walked right up to the window for game 4! and got tickets!!! every game that isn’t played against the lowly rangers there is the most boring crowd i’ve ever seen! the new haven beast (for you conn people) had better crowds then the devils, now this is coming from a huge dev fan so you know there is something wrong here, lets just get to newark already so i can hop on a train and not have to sit through traffic on the turnpike just to get to more traffic on rt 3

Yup,you’re dead on about the AWA.Obviously,Jerry Colangelo wasn’t thinking ahead when he had the arena built to NBA specs only.But the Coyotes will have a brand-spankin’ new arena next year…geez….now my $9 restricted-view seats will probably cost twice as much.Oh,well.
