So a glorified high school gym with hang down rims is #1......give me a break. Spare me the history and atmosphere crap. On pure architecture, it's complete crap. Also, GT being so low on this list is a joke too. McCamish looks much more like an actual arena than most on this list.
You are on point and I totally agree. Why is a high school gym #1 (Duke)? Really? My own high school gym was this size and no one said it was the sanctuary of college basketball?
NC State does technically have its own arena. The NC State women play in the old arena, Reynolds Coliseum, very small but good for the sports that use it. Same for UNC, they play in the old Carmichael Arena. Both of them would be near the middle of the list for me if they're included. You are ranking all ACC Basketball areans, these count.
This makes no sense. After trashing some ACC arenas because of a lack of seating capacity, he names Cameron the best of all? I'm sorry, something other than the arena itself is informing your judgment.
The JMA Wireless Dome will be getting the new seats this summer. The seats will be folding plastic, navy color like in the rendering. The lower levels will get 20" wide seats with armrests, while the upper deck gets 18" seats without armrests. Each seat takes up more space than the old benches, because people are wider than they were 45 years ago, and they have to widen the aisles, so capacity will be reduced about 15%. Work should begin right after commencement in the middle of May, which gives them a full 3 1/2 months to get it done before football season. They really killed it with the renovations a few years ago. Real air conditioning, the new lights inside look great, the scoreboard over the field is massive, and the seats will elevate it even further.
NC State has the same issue as Syracuse, too big of an arena. But at least theirs doesn't have to be cut off like Syracuse's. I like NC State's arena a lot. higher than it was listed.
Dean Dome sucks…multiple reasons. Upper Level and Lower Level with one concourse for both…if you have to go to the bathroom at halftime…good luck. Also, the seats are smaller and you have less legroom than at PNC Arena.
I go with my wife and daughter to several Clemson women's games at Littlejohn a season, it is steep behind the baskets, but hey $5 for baseline is only topped by $5 courtside at Furman.
I usually tend to agree with your assessments on different arenas. But Ginger, I have to say you're buggin' if you think for one second that Cameron Indoor is better than Louisville's KFC Yum Center or even UNC Dean Smith Center. SMDH!!!
I see it as a louisville fan if your looking at it from a quality perspective louisville is unmatched, largest basketball focused arena in the country and one of the newest/nicest + an awsome location in downtown on the river but it dosent have the same history or presence that cameron does
@@JustSomeDude_.right, as someone who grew up going to yum for games it’s great. But you cannot compete with the history and uniqueness of Cameron Indoor
No objectiviety if anyone who didn't know anything about basketball and just rated the arena's wouldn't have Cameron Indoor #1 it's a shit hole I've been there a dozen times!Go Heels!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just let you know in from NC and PNC was built for NC State not for the Hurricanes! State wanted a new arena because Reynolds and The Dorton arena both had grown outdated. They decided this in the 1980’s well before they got the Hurricanes in 1997. PNC was going to be built regardless of if the Hurricanes came to Raleigh
Just a heads up LittleJohn coliseum doesn’t actually look like that on the outside anymore they renovated it about 10 years ago it’s much more modern looking now
Louisville should have an NBA team based off of that arena but the league won’t give it to them due to its proximity with Indianapolis (home of the Indiana Pacers).
Well also the biggest reason is due to the fact that Kentucky already draws a shit ton of money from Kentucky basketball. Havin the top ncaa program and brand gives the state no need for any major league sports. It’s a weird an exclusive case.
@@isaiahevans4930 but you would think with the fandom for basketball the uk and ul fans could team up to be extremely supportive for an nba team. Not to mention the amount of uk alumni in the league
It would make sense, Louisville is the one of if not the biggest city without a pro sports team but it should stay that way. I feel like that makes the city stand out.
You all need to understand that Ginger's rankings also include the history, reverence, and mystic of the arena, coliseum, stadium, etc. The interior, the exterior, the materials used, the color, the patterns, the design, the concept of the building, etc, all add up to Ginger's rankings. He has a video from 2021/2022 explaining the criteria he uses for his rankings! I don't always agree with his rankings, either, but he has a very thorough list of things he looks for in reference to criteria/criterion when ranking all things in reference to arenas, coliseums, stadiums, etc!
Lol bro you need to start researching before you film. NC State is the largest university in the state....and is generally top 10-20 in attendance in all of college basketball depending on how they're playing. So has no issue filling seats at PNC.
NC State plays inside a pro hockey arena, not nba - the Carolina Hurricanes🌀. Don’t get caught up in all these seats being empty. Win, you fill them up. Ask Iowa’s women’s program!! They’ve sold out at home & on the road & in the Minnesota TWolves arena for the entire B1G tournament. It’s all about the W’s.
I hate Louisville but the yum center is one of the nicest arenas in the country. Dukes high school gym sure as shit isn’t on the same level as it and the dean dome is very debatable. The yum center was built to be a nba arena
NC State is only the biggest university in NC. So idk how PNC is too much when you admitted that a professional hockey team also plays there. Cameron Indoor at #1 is asinine. That place is a dump. Probably the worst one. There was definitely bias in these rankings.
@@40EastTrill I’ve been to Cameron Indoor and PNC and the Dean Dome for games. While Cameron definitely isn’t the most modern arena (which seems to be the only thing you care about) Cameron has historical value and a prestige to it basketball fans have to admire. To me it just sounds like when you went to Cameron (if you have) your team probably got blown out bad 😢
@@greysonspeckhart8687 My team just won at Cameron and owns those punks 😂. It is small, old and bland. There's been plenty of stadiums that have historical value that still suck. Sounds like you're just a fan. In fact, with your last reply I smell Dookie.
Size of the university is irrelevant. I mean NC State lets anybody attend, so what do you expect ? BTW UCF has 68000 students and doesn’t have a facility that large with average game attendance of 9800. NC State has an average of 13000 ( Gotta work late and get up early to slop hogs, ya know) . UNC has half the students but have an average attendance of over 19000. Also by bigger school, he probably means bigger in basketball. 😂😂😂
It's amazing to me when I did the math how many millions of dollars that Duke has lost in ticket sales by not building a bigger arena 30 years ago. Suffice it to say it would have paid for itself many years ago and that's not counting profits from concessions.
Carrier Dome is hard to rank. Very unique, historic, good atmosphere (for big games). Since it is so big though, its usually gonna have some empty seats, and some seats are far from the action. Most of though all, from a non-nostalgia/atmosphere stand point it would easily rate last. Probably the worst ACC football stadium too.
Any list of ACC arenas that places Cassell Coliseum at #7 is a complete fail. Also, you talk about the exterior of Littlejohn Coliseum but show an old picture prior to the latest renovation.
Ahhhhh so u mean u ranked it based on the electricity and the energy of fans.. It has a small capacity thats why it is so loud and electrifying. I prefer the comfort. The bigger the better than those craziness
Don't agree. That yum center looks like a warehouse, and a football stadium converted for basketball?! Cmon. Petersen Event Center looks nice and Dukes Csmeron and Dean Smith are classics.
I don't care if you give Cameron Indoor 5 stars +++++, dook still sucks and always will. (but Cameron will never touch the history and class of the Smith Center)
PNC should be way higher. The outside is meh but the inside is the best in the conference. Cameron is a high school gym and honestly should be last
The yum center and john Paul Jones are astonishing...
Lol the yum center is probably the nicest college arena in the country
It is
It’s better than a lot of nba arenas.

As a card fan,can't wait to play ky,nc and duke!!! Go cards
NC State has 40,000 students... it is well worth having PNC Arena and when the team is good, or UNC/DUKE comes into town that Arena is packed and loud

You hate on some of these too much
Graduated from high school in Cameron and college in Dean Dome.
YUM Center was designed and built with the idea of bringing an NBA team to Louisville
2:10 they kept that dome so we can still call it the "Thriller Dome" and the "Big Tit" 😂
Cameroon indoor is literally the same as BC’s court 😂😂😂
You have the Yum center at #3? I will never subscribe to this channel you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about
The people hating on Cameron have simply never been. I used to be skeptical, but oh boy was I wrong
Where does Ginger prefer BC play, TD Garden?
True. It's a lose lose situation for him I guess because he doesn't Ike college teams playing at nba arenas.
