o really? We are talking about basketball/hockey venues, right? Or should Soldier Field, Lambeau, Paul Brown, Reliant, etc be thrown in the mix. If so, that's another discussion that already has a huge thread. I think the conclusion was, Europe and Asia focus on modern exterior design, with more ordinary bowls for most. North American have much more posh interiors with tons more luxury suites and boxes. NA's also tend to have more traditional exteriors, often using brick and limestone combinations. The bowls reflect the sport more than anything. Hard to say one is better than the other because the needs of the sports are different. Example, the Greek Olympic Stadium, or Allainz in Germany are much more modernly designed on the exterior than most you see in the US, but neither have the interior bowl and amenties that a Reliant or Soldier Field, nor do the have the mix of modern, yet old timey exterior like Miller Park or countless modern baseball parks in the majors. Just two different worlds.cinosanap said:what are you on about, north american arenas are big but they look really ugly. west european countries, japan & south korea are all way better than canada or the usa's arenas
el pato said:I agree the Canadian arenas are nice. But the skydome and BC Place's football dome aren't stadiums. Different catergory. Here's some pics of Canadian Arenas not yet posted.
The Molson Centre or what is now the Centre Bell. Gotta love the steep slopes giving an overhead view of the action.

The Corel Center outside of Ottawa.

The Skyreach Centre in Edmonton. Sorry only cool pic I could find.

GM Place in Vancouver

And the Greatest Arena in the World. No, it's not a giant potatoe chip. No, it's not a spaceship. Yes, it's better than the AAC in Dallas and the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. It's the Saddledome. Old School seems to be the best way to describe it. It's a real arena, not a suite fest like all of the new ones and has the coolest shape of any North America arena still standing. Would've loved to see the Flames pull of that game 6 in the finals and see the roof blow off of that place.
I've ALWAYS wanted to push that big red button...DrJoe said:Here's the Air Canada Center in Toronto, its probably the best one in Canada.

I have tried to find pictures on indoor arenas (ie, basketball, hockey, etc) in Europe and Asia before, but have had little luck. There is plenty out there on stadiums from everywhere and arenas in North America, but not arenas eslewhere, at least as far as I can tell.what are you on about, north american arenas are big but they look really ugly. west european countries, japan & south korea are all way better than canada or the usa's arenas
