Loudest Arena? Quietest Arena?

[SUX2BU]

For loudest I’ll go Florida. They had a nice run last season and their fans are salivating for that cup.

For quietest I’ll go Winnipeg. Smallest arena and the barn has rarely been full this season. In the past they’ve even failed to sellout playoff games.

keep telling yourself that

MSG is fantastic during the first three rounds when the fans have a fighting chance.

I'm worried about the Stanley Cup Finals. Tickets are literally $11,000 a seat.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

UBS is the loudest.

MSG, Scotiabank or Capital One will be the quietest.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

MSG is lit during the playoffs

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Sadly, I think it’s the same across the board. The culture doesn’t exist, the tickets are way too expensive and there is no standing sections in the arenas. So the team with the most modern PA system combined with success at home will have the loudest arena.

Some teams do have standing sections or over capacity seating arrangements they can toss up in these situations. We had 'em last playoffs.

 

[Three On Zero]

All 16 arenas will be the loudest and the quietest. Having been to a few arenas during the playoffs, you can't really tell the difference between teams. Fans show up regardless

Standing room at SBA in Toronto is full most nights.
Cheapest ticket to stand for Home Game 1 is going for $222.25 right now.

Don't worry about it.

You couldn't be more misinformed. The Jets have never, yes NEVER, not sold out a playoff game. While the Jets may not have THE loudest crowd, in the playoffs they are definitely one of the loudest each time they've been in the playoffs.

Winnipeg.

 

[EdJovanovski]

MSG whenever Rempe’s on the ice

 

[miscs75]

MSG whenever Rempe’s on the ice

So basically during warmups and when the period ends?

 

[Svechhammer]

I'll go with the players on this one

Vegas, Carolina, and Boston as the loudest

 

[67 others]

Quietest - Corporate crowd in Toronto
Loudest - honestly most of them, I’ll say Vancouver only because they’re back in the dance and have a good team with expectations

Vancouver is especially loud when they lose....

This is complete garbage. Look at Montreal for example, the Bell center is known as one of the best rinks to play in and it's 100% culture related. That season finale was electric, crowd was going crazy every time Hutson touched the puck. Not even a Habs fan but you have to admire it.

The question posed to the players was "toughest to play in" not "loudest."

Loudest riots too.

You act as if those 2 things are not directly tied together

It’s a mausoleum compared to European arenas.

I'm not acting.

You're not wrong, but there's definitively a difference team to team in the NHL. North American sports fans just aren't as rabid as Europeans.

It's just different norms. Singing, chanting and choreographed cheering is part of the experience in Europe for hardcore fans. It's kind of cool and makes for a neat atmosphere.

Except at concerts. Europeans insist on singing along. That shit is annoying.

 

[MattMartin]

Every rink is loud in the Playoffs.
Those saying Toronto have never been in the building during the Playoffs.

Especially after round two : ) Sorry. Was low hanging fruit.

 

[_habsfan9]

LOL maybe one of the funniest posts in awhile not sure if satire but I enjoyed a good laugh thanks OP

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Lol @ Florida

Because it's such a rare occurrence
