idk how you classify the best arena but I would put American Airlines on the top of my list.

And somewhere in the top 5, the arena my Pistons play in. :)
Only because of the 22, 076 capacity although they had a pretty bad crowd this year.

Ok I am biased, but I love the TD Garden

But I will say along with TD Garden I do like the Staples Center and Heat's arena as well.

Never been inside the Mavs' arena, but it is gorgeous outside. Very homey brick exterior.

Heard great things about Conseco.

I liked Target Center, but that was like 10 or 15 years ago.

Do not like San Antonio's arena. Looks like a shed, terrible location.

I've walked past Atlanta's place. Nothing special.

Somebody had a great line about Boston's place -- it looks like the headquarters of an intelligence agency from old Soviet Europe.

Miami's gym looks great. But then, it's Miami. Anything on the waterfront is going to look great.

Staples is Staples, MSG is MSG.

lol this sounds wierd as a pistons fan, but i wouldn't mind taking a trip to the Garden one time to watch a game. Looks like they have a great atmosphere. The new jumbotron they invested in is way better than that junky old one they used to have

I forgot the Rose Garden. Been there, really liked it. With flaming fountains, what's not to like.

Interesting choice of music. I feel like I'm watching a porno.

I love the United Center's floor, but I don't like the seating arrangement. I actually think Toyota Center has a good seating arrangement and view.
