Im going with BOTH Utah and Golden State! Both Arenas fans are very Passionate, and it shows at the games!

I tried to factor in records as well. Although Oracle is a loud building to play in, the Warriors have still lost 10 games at home this season.

During a 19 game losing streak, when most fans wanted the team to lose for draft position. I doubt any arena would have a tough crowd in those circumstances.

I've seen games played in both arenas and Utah is definitely the louder and more hostile of the two. Utah by a landslide

In the playoffs, I'd still have to say Golden State after what we saw last season.

Utah. The Boston crowd isn't really indimitating...

From a historical perspective the Boston Garden was the toughest arena to play in. The Fleet Center or whatever it's called hasn't really had a championship caliber team to root for. I dont think the people in Boston have changed. I expect them to go nuts during the playoff run and have that Fllet Center floor rocking.

Their record at home this year is impressive.

Didnt a ref get beaten up in the 80's in the old boston garden for making a bad call? i remember my dad saying that was the craziest place he has ever seen. I guess it has toned down a little but we havent had a team in that last 20+ years that could compete for a ship. We will see come playoff time if the crazys return.
