being a kings fan from toronto sucks because i never get to see the kings at home... so i just wanted to know what goes down at home games in arco?

i was at the kings/raptors game at the Air Canada Centre few weeks ago and was very impressed with everything... this year in toronto we got a lot of soccer feel to games it seemed... live drums from the stands projected on the speakers/chanting/waves/etc. it made the game a lot of fun (not for me ofcourse, if u remember the score, haha)

how does arco do it?

Wasn't Arco known for the cowbells in the stands during the playoffs a few years ago? It was one of the loudest stadiums in the NBA during that time.

Only right behind Phil Jackson.

Yes, people have brought cowbells to Arco before. But their presence has been totally overblown. The stereotype that gets thrown around is that "Arco is filled with cowbells", which is a huge exaggeration. IIRC most of the cowbells came out in response to derogatory "cow-town" comments made by Phil Jackson and Snaq.

Arco has always been one of the loudest arenas in the league, even without cowbells.

I think we hold the most loudest noise level in a indoor arena with 135 Db...

Yea it is still loud.

With the loss of the ticket sell-out streak went the weak fans. We still have the loud ones in the building. The rich social fans are for the most part gone, which is good.

If you go to any other Arena that has the same record were still getting a lot more fans and we are definitly louder.
