Dude Northwestern just recently did a renovation to their arena and made it a lot nicer for their size. The outside might be ugly, but the inside is perfectly fine for their team and the size of their school.
@@jeffreycorduroy759 I know he does. He doesn’t really fact check anything throughly due to how fast he is constantly trying to release content. Quality is often poor.
The Vault is so much more modern than any of these other arenas.. sells out regularly (ranked in top 10 attendance in nation!).. and boasts a 16-1 record this year. But ranked at 11th??
Dude this guy has no idea what he's doing. He looked at a couple photos and made his judgement. Didn't even show one with it filled. An Arena is so much more than online photos.
This guy probably lives in his parents basement and hasn't even been to any of these arenas. Shows only pictures while under construction. PBA is closer to top 3 not bottom 3.
Much as I like the Xfinity Center it will never quite compare to Cole Field House. I bet I saw between 100-125 games there. Whenever the Terps played a big-time rival at Cole like Duke, UNC, NC State (when they had David Thompson) it was IMHO one of the most electrifying venues in college basketball history!! There were times my ears would ring for a couple hours after the game ended--that's how loud it would get--I mean ROCK CONCERT loud!! So many awesome memories--I still miss it!!
Williams Arena THE BARN can be such an amazing venue to catch a game.. problem is we (I say that as a gopher alumni) haven’t been relevant in years. When the gophers are good, that place is rocking. Really tough place to play for opponents in that kind of environment
So to be fair w Ohio State and Penn State. I don’t think those arenas were built for basketball specifically. Those are 2 huge universities. I think almost 60K at both schools. Think about graduations and how many people have to fit in there.
Carver-Hawkeye Arena has exterior roof support so that it can have a clean looking ceiling on the inside. It's actually a quite brilliant design in that regard.
Breslin has a second double court in the lower level. When Izzo came to MSU he found a set of windows up high looking down on the court. it was a meeting room. He had it changed a bit and it's his main office. you can see the practice courts behind him with many interviews he does.
Man I never realized how steep and intimidating Nebraska arena is , that would be a great advantage if they could ever get a winning tradition in hoops going. Overall gotta say good job ranking these arenas…
It gets very loud and intimidating in "The Vault". Fantastic environment and not nearly as drab as this guy makes it out to be. He has no idea what he's talking about. I highly suggest you see a game in it if you ever get an opportunity.
I’m curious if any players is ever been fooled by Williams arena? I mean, can you imagine sitting on the bench and having to step up every time you get into the game and step down every time you come out?
Love my Kohl Center. I grew up on the Field House, will always miss it, but the Kohl Centers amazing. I saw Bucky take down #1 Duke there back in 2010 & so many more great games. Great vibe. On Wisconsin!
What I never have understood about Assembly Hall is the camera angles. The action is from a higher vantage point that almost anywhere else. Did someone decide that would be better or was it overlooked in the design?
Good grief…. Have you ever watched a game at Assembly Hall? There are no more than 6000 decent seats in the entire building. Watching the game from the nose bleed seats is awful. Shooting background is bed too. The rest of you ranking is logical, your #1 is laughable.
People from Wisconsin are happy if they can warm their feet when they get inside. Sorry people but the state of Indiana knows what makes a great place to play basketball. If Butler played in the Big Ten the state would have the top 3.
Sadly, Crisler is in an awful state. The Michigan basketball team has been killed by Juwan Howard. We all cant wait for him to be fired. Nik Stauskas left a depressing message on UMich Basketball’s instagram post following last night’s 30 point blowout loss to Purdue.
Howard is an emotionally immature child of a coach. I never saw the allure in his hiring outside of “he used to go here”. Fine. Make him an assistant. He clearly doesn’t have the temperament of a big 10 coach
Dirtiest home courts / home court officials: Tied for 1 by a mile - Wisconsin, Northwestern, Rutgers, and Minnesota. 5th Maryland 6th MSU 7th Iowa 8th Penn State 9th - IU 10th - Nebraska 11th - Ohio State 12th - Illinois 13th - Purdue 14th - Michigan
When the Gophers are good and the competition is solid, the Barn is definitely in the top 3 with Purdue and Indiana. It's been a while, but this season is turning some heads... we'll see!
I know they’re getting a new one next year but Maryland’s scoreboard is terrible. The sides facing the baskets are so small it’s impossible to read stats
These lists, like the football stadiums, have almost nothing to do with the facility brick and mortar itself and more to do the fanbase, history, attendance, etc.
The one thing you didn't mention about Northwestern is that they have seats behind the posts. This is a 1930s field house. I got stuck sitting behind said posts and did not see anything from midcourt to the south basket. Sad all the way around.
@@kevinkelley1644literally not one big 10 team would agree with u on that. multiple teams fanbases say that rutgers is the hardest away game in the big ten. just use google and look it up.
Mackey is way better than Assembly Hall and it's not even close. I'd put Assembly Hall at 5 behind Nebraska, MSU, Michigan, Illinois. The only thing good about Assembly Hall is seeing it empty by half time and feeling like you are playing a game of Candy Land.
@@loganhart5534 You mean Assembly Hall fans would like to come and sweep the floor of Mackey. Basketball is dead at IU. The environments are worlds apart in the last 5 years. I've always had IU as a second but Mackey has racketed up imho to one of the best, if not the best, venue in college BB.
Having worked the last 15 years of my professional career in Assembly Hall at Indiana University, I have to concur with your choice of number one. One of my favorite tee shirts of all time: Spending an Evening with 17,400 of my closest friends. In the past decade, major renovations and improvements have been made. Including a 360 degree playback which was installed with a gift from Mark Cuban, who graduated from IU. Plus IU allocates proportionately the most seats to students in the Big Ten.
It’s a nice place. Updated and very comfortable. Problem is atmosphere sucks. Even when we are good it’s just quiet. Our fans don’t get up for basketball like we do football
As a die hard Michigan fan who has attended many game the atmosphere is good if it’s a close game or they play msu or osu. Or else they might have one of the shittest atmospheres as it’s so quiet. I’m one of those quiet fans so I am the part of the problem
The problem with these lists is that you almost have to wait for team quality to go up before you can really gage the noise. This year NW at Iowa will be lacking in noise due to the teams cleaning house. The solution is to probably follow Caitlin Clark everywhere.
Pinnacle Bank arena is one of the coolest venues I’ve seen a game at. All of the upper decks feel like they’re looking directly down on the court and the game time environment is electric. You should check out some game time photos/videos instead of the boring photos you used.
Wisconsin and Ohio State's arenas are dual purpose, basketball and hockey. To be able to satisfy both sports at the same time, there has to be compromises. I have been to Michigan, Purdue, and Wisconsin's arena's. Michigan and Purdue built just for basketball, and yes, probably better then Wisconsin. But not by very much. None of these arena's in the Big Ten are dumps by any stretch.
Bro you obviously havent been to all these arenas if you have Assembly hall over mackey. If this was during the knight/Keady area i could understand. But not nowadays. I go to iu vs purdue every single year at mackey and at assembly hall. Iu has mostly theater seats, which encourage people to stay seated. They do not sell alcohol. And 90% of the people that go are senior citizens still trying to hold on to the glory days of the past. Its good if you want to watch a basketball game like your at a movie theater. But, if your going to base it off of most hostile environments and ear shattering crowd decibels, then the experience at mackey is far better. Its mostly bench seats packed to the max with intoxicated purdue fans that stand the whole time and scream because sitting offers no room for your ass because the numbers on the bench are about 8 inches apart. Literally breaks the sound barrier! I understand the history of IU being known as a hard place to play, but its not comparable to purdue anymore. And if you haven't experienced the difference, go to both places and tell me im wrong...
IU is still a hard place to play, but Mackey is still up there, both of the Hoosier Schools are very well deserving of the top 2 rankings, he just thinks that IU is better, you don’t have to agree with him, but I will.
I've been on the floor for multiple games there - one of the best memories I have is walking up the steps onto that elevated floor - it is absolutely awesome
Penn State’s arena (Bryce Jordan Center) is more known for concerts. Many Penn State basketball fans still wish they play at Rec Hall (where volleyball is played).
I have to TOTALLY DISAGREE with you about Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall! How could you have it ranked ahead of Mackey Arena as people DON'T like going to Mackey to play.
@@michaelhogg324oh, Ive been to Mackey....the entire Purdue campus looks just like the Essex county correctional facility and mental hospital in New jersey....just more flat. Now either NJ has great looking jails, or - well, do the math.
Idk man I think pinnacle is pretty cool man. Seems very nice and comfortable. Cool exterior and in the bar district but still nice and comfy inside. Seat choice was amazing there and every seat is a good view. I’m a fan but biased
The fake Assembly hall in Bloomington is a terrible place to see a game. Upper seats are too far away from the floor and to get to them it’s like climbing a mountain and the sight lines are terrible.
Most of those pictures shown here are outdated. This cannot be called a 2024 video. Get some updates. These schools do updates/renovations of some sort almost every year
REALLY? You clearly put no effort into doing research for this video. This goes for the entire video. But to speek on Nebraska's Pinnacle Bank Arina "The Vault" is a beautiful arena, maybe if you showed a photo when they at least had it set up for basketball you and the viewers would have seen that. It is easaly in the top 3 for atmospheres in the B1G. Seating is steap and close. Making it feel like the croud is on top of you. We are ranked in the 10 in attendance year after year. The area around the stadium is pretty great as well. An arena is much more then a couple of pictures. I dont think youve been to a single one of these. Horribly done video!

No one in Minnesota calls it the “Williams Arena”…it is and will forever be “The Barn”
It's the barn and needs a remodeling BAD!
He's not in Minnesota so let's not get too uppity about it.
I call it the Kris Humphries special
Even the tv commentators call it the barn
Yes and that volleyball picture he showed was Maturi Pavillion on the other side of the wall in the same building.

Assembly hall in bloomington is a horrible venue to see a game. It has a ton of horrible sight lines.
Williams Arena THE BARN can be such an amazing venue to catch a game.. problem is we (I say that as a gopher alumni) haven’t been relevant in years. When the gophers are good, that place is rocking. Really tough place to play for opponents in that kind of environment
Reminds me of the Bobby Jackson days.
The Barn is a great venue but Mackey is TOUGHER
So to be fair w Ohio State and Penn State. I don’t think those arenas were built for basketball specifically. Those are 2 huge universities. I think almost 60K at both schools. Think about graduations and how many people have to fit in there.
Carver-Hawkeye Arena has exterior roof support so that it can have a clean looking ceiling on the inside. It's actually a quite brilliant design in that regard.
Didn't it leak during the Purdue game this year. They had to keep stop play to clean up the water on the floor, or was that somewhere else?
@@jlfalwell3 Yep. It's a cool arena, but showing its age.

Kohl Center placement is crazy
Based on his short review, I'm sure he has never been there.
Have you done the NHL arenas? If not, that would be a cool one to see
Man I never realized how steep and intimidating Nebraska arena is , that would be a great advantage if they could ever get a winning tradition in hoops going.
Overall gotta say good job ranking these arenas…
Well they have beaten 2 top 6 ranked teams there in the last month…

Marylands arena is amazing, always great energy and every aspect of the inside and the court is elite
Xfinity really does have great energy--but Cole Field House was the best!! (No place on Earth like it for a big game!!)
So, Michigan State " kind of" a basketball school? You mean like most final fours (7) in country last 25 years? Is that what you mean?

Reviewing arenas based on two photographs is like reviewing movies based on their trailers. (Maybe I'm bitter as my school's arena fared poorly.)
Thank You!!! An arena is SO much more than looking at photos of it empty. Nebraska's Pinnacle Bank Arina "The Vault" is easily top 3 in the B1G.
the xfinity center is rockin every conference game and shit gets crazy loud
Dude!!!! Out of ALL of the rankings that you have ever done, you nailed this one home!!!!! You got this one absolutely correct from top to bottom!!!

Wish they would move Ohio State back to St John Arena and use Value City Arena for everything else. Terrible vibe for basketball games.
as an iu fan i see this as an absolute win
Northwestern just had a renovation a couple of years ago to Welsh-Ryan Arena.
I was there pre-renovation and it was very intimidating for the visiting team. You felt like you were right on the court!
The RAC is very low on this list. Obviously out-of-date but the atmosphere brings it up so much
And there are plans for a renovation although like most things Rutgers Athletics it's moving slowly and it's budget constrained.
Kohl Center is top 3
Yup. This list is fucked. It’s moronic to have Kohl Center so low.
People from Wisconsin are happy if they can warm their feet when they get inside. Sorry people but the state of Indiana knows what makes a great place to play basketball. If Butler played in the Big Ten the state would have the top 3.

What about the game day experience? I guess you never attended a game in any of the arenas that you've critiqued.
Hawkeye Arena has a roof leak. I think they stopped play at least 5 times during the last Purdue vs Iowa game.
When the Gophers are good and the competition is solid, the Barn is definitely in the top 3 with Purdue and Indiana. It's been a while, but this season is turning some heads... we'll see!
Pinnacle bank arena sells out every home game, and this year they have a 16 and 1 home record. Home field advantage nebraska
Ya this guy looked at a few pics of each arena online and called it good. He has no idea
Move Penn State basketball back to Rec Hall and let wrestling have the BJC all to themselves.

I wish every student section could be like Michigan State's
yeah ours is just better
I wish every student section could be like Purdue’s
peculiar is important?
Why didn’t you add UW, UCLA, USC and OREGON?
They're not in the Big Ten yet.
Wisconsin and Ohio State's arenas are dual purpose, basketball and hockey. To be able to satisfy both sports at the same time, there has to be compromises.

None of these arena's in the Big Ten are dumps by any stretch.

God I hate that Minnesota elevated floor. It’d absolutely fuck with my head if i were a player
I've been on the floor for multiple games there - one of the best memories I have is walking up the steps onto that elevated floor - it is absolutely awesome
I believe New Mexico St. & Bradley (Field House) used to play on elevated floors. Back in the day both were in the Missouri Valley Conference.
That Minnesota barn looks like the barn in Des Moines Iowa no longer there I don’t think as they built Wells Fargo arena
Penn State’s arena (Bryce Jordan Center) is more known for concerts. Many Penn State basketball fans still wish they play at Rec Hall (where volleyball is played).
Could you do the Big 12 Next? Texas Tech and Kansas have the best 2 in that conference imo
I like the uniqueness of OSU.
Can we get an a10 ranking?
Mackey has way better sight lines than Assembly Hall. There isn't a bad seat in the house. Mackey is also the loudest in the conference.

For each arena you should visually display the capacity.
