My fault. I could swear that the basketball cap was lower. Did you changed your post :D

BTW, when Paris bidded for 2008 Olympics i saw a video of this arena. They added a 2nd tier and planned capacity was 20k

I didn't change the cap., just the rank, in my post about Bercy !!

About the bids of 2008 and 2012 (:mad:) the idea was to build one of the biggest indoor arena in the world near Stade de France, anyway this project is still progressing but in place of the old olympic stadium in Colombes.
Bercy will be used for cycling, concerts and smaller sports.

Let's put the 17,131 as the official capacity and mention the 18,200 as confirmed record crowd in parentheses. This way we could have both numbers.

I believe the capacity was about 78,000 in Ford Field for basketball. Keep in mind it seats about 65,000 in football mode, and they filled in the field with seating. Those basketball courts are about 115'-68' and the field is a good 390'-220', so there is almost 80,000 sq ft for additional seating.

A few years ago I had my season pass seat to watch my basketball team in Spain at row 28 in a 11500 seats arena. From that height the game was so far away to be rightly appreciated.

Maybe for an event like that (NCCA final 4) is acceptable to stay in a seat upper than row 40. But definitely not for a regular season match!!!!

The sidelines look fine, but the floor level seats in the ends are absolutely awfull, from the student sections I doubt you can see much of the floor, and there is absolutely no way you could tell if someone is shooting a two or a three, especially on the far end. Most concert halls have a steeper pitch on the main level. So far Indy and New Orleans have the only domes with legit basketball setups. But this could be worse.

That's why they gave those seats to students. They were sold for only $20 while most tickets to the championship game go for MUCH more (as has been described on this thread already). Plus a setup with the students behind the baskets like that helps the atmosphere alot rather than having them spread out all around the stadium.

Some have probably never been used for b-ball. Many probably would never be able to. If the list was geared towards hockey capacity, I guess you'd have the same problem - what you would need is a capacity without floor seats. That would give you the ultimate list. Easier said than done though!

ReiAyanami

September 18th, 2009, 04:39 PM

That is the problem with indoor arenas, they are multipurpose facilities, that can be used for a variety of sports. IMO the best way is to as we do it now, calculate the maximum capacity sport configuration, which in most cases is basketball.
And don't forget that there are other ways to define the largest arena, for example total volume, etc.

Luke80

September 18th, 2009, 06:32 PM

but how do we get the cap without floor seats?

That is the question...

Many of the basketball only arenas used to host hockey games - Greensboro (21,273), Rupp (?), The Palace (20,804) and Scottrade (19,250) are some examples. I'll post some more.

That is the problem with indoor arenas, they are multipurpose facilities, that can be used for a variety of sports. IMO the best way is to as we do it now, calculate the maximum capacity sport configuration, which in most cases is basketball.
And don't forget that there are other ways to define the largest arena, for example total volume, etc.

That is what the list is already. I was saying that it is disproportionate to arenas that only have hockey. If you can somehow get the capacity without floor seats then you can get the theoretical capacity for hockey even if that arena will never host a hockey match in it's life. That way it's fairer IMO.

Alemanniafan

September 11th, 2010, 08:20 PM

Well what about multi urpose venues like the Veltins in Gelsenkirchen or the Esprit Arena in Düsseldorf?
They're both more than just stadia, especially the Veltins Arena that has a sliding pitch a closeable retractable roof and is used for all sorts of events besides soccer matches.

Even that gigantic Dallas Cowboys stadium is clearly a multipurpose arena and not just a stadium.
Some of those in the list are also primarily sport hosting facilities.
I personally really see no point in listing Basketball, Tennis, Volleyball or Icehockey arenas but excluding soccer arenas or stadia. Especially the Veltins Arena for example which hosted biathlon, stock car crash events, icehockey, concerts, TV shows and far more allready.
If this is only all about the size and soccer or american football stadia are excluded, then all the really big arenas will automatically drop out, because the really big arenas are nearly all multipurpose stadia.
And by the way, I think the biggest concert or congress halls are not listed here either.
And I don't know about the capacity when seats are put in there, but in Frankfurt or Hannover on the fairgrounds there are gigantic indoor halls which are also used for lots of different events, concerts and expositions. Of course they're surely not arenas, but at times those are also used for sports events, concerts etc, so they do quite often serve a very simmilar or rather identical purpose.

Benn

September 12th, 2010, 07:04 AM

These are defined by the American use of the word arena, smaller playing surface indoor facilities ie basketball, hockey, handball, tennis venues ect. Not facilities for football/soccer, baseball, cricket, track ect stadiums.

There is a clear difference in size of playing surface and often use here that makes them vary different, so it seems like an intelligent move to separate them.

www.sercan.de

September 12th, 2010, 12:05 PM

Or the Xcel Center, it seats about 20,000 for basketball, I couldn't give you a firm number, but they did the state tournament for high school basketball there a couple years back and were listing capacity at just over 20,000 I want to say.

The Centre Bell has never hosted any basketball game (except the Harlem Globetrotters). It will host its first NBA game the next month, and apparently, the expected attendance (sold out) will be around 21,700.

I live in the Wshington D.C. area in the U.S., and the biggest arena in my area which happens to also be one of the largest in the U.S. is the MCI center built in 1997.

It is situated in "Chinatown" in Washington D.C. It is home to the Washington Wizards(Basketball), Washington Capitals(Ice Hockey), and the Georgetown Hoyas(College Basketball).

im not sure what the largest arena in the u.s is but it is not the mci(now verizon center) even after the 2009 renovations that lowered the capacity the united center in chicago is still bigger than the mci center and the united center has the most square footage of any arena in north america.
