Loudest Arena? Quietest Arena?

[VanCanucks53]

Winnipeg can get rowdy, but Vancouver is always low energy.

Lol ok. It’s been the loudest crowd so far IMO. Definitely louder than Edmontons.

I think we can all agree that for a general fan hooliganism, Edmonton wins hands down. I can't imagine what would happen if the Oilers make the Cup finals and lose. Edmonton will be burned to the ground

Montreal and Vancouver approve this message

Makes no sense, what is going on here?

I'm not going to pretend that the Leafs have the best home atmosphere at all, but I do wonder if any of it is based on the mic'ing of the arena for TV.

As an example, I was at the game last night, and while it wasn't as loud as other barns I've been to for playoff games (Boston, Montreal, and Vegas to name a few), it's definitely loud at times. I rewatched the shift Reaves had last night where he had a few big hits and it did sound much quieter on video than it felt and sounded in person. Again, not saying the Leafs have a tremendous atmosphere or anything, but I do think it sounds worse on TV than it actually is.

You can “all agree,” all you want. What’s been demonstrated and observed on the other hand:

General fan hooliganism talked about a decade later but it’s “EdMonTon WiNs HanDS dowN.”

Leaf fans are super passionate but their arena is by far the quietest and I’ve been to playoff games there and in most other Canadian cities as well.
Noisiest is really subjective, Winnipeg and Vancouver would be my choice this year.
Edmonton also has a loud crowd.

Edmonton is loud if you count that one guy yelling "Talbot" over and over near the broadcasting booth.

I’m pretty sure he posts on here.

PNC in Raleigh in the playoffs is deafening. Can't wait.

As a DEVILS fan I can atest to how great, even in the regular season the Canes' barn is.

Disagree, Think you mean Vancouver then Montreal.

Living in NYC I have been to plenty of NYR and Islander games. NYR isn't that loud but ive only been to regular season games. Islander games when they played in Brooklyn was a joke lol. God that place sucked, but I went to the Islander/Bruins playoff series a few seasons back at the Coliseum and that place was loud as hell. Boston during the playoffs has your ears ringing by the end. I'm sure Carolina is loud now but I only went back in 2009 when I was stationed at Bragg when they sucked.

From what I remember since it's been so long, Montreal just has an electric buzz from the moment they open the Bell Center doors. It is an amazing place to see a Playoff Game, and the 21,000 are all very passionate and extremely loud. One of the best places to see a playoff game.

You sure about that one? You mean the one game 2 seasons ago where you played against a blueline of Scott Mayfield and Bridgeport. That must be when Rangers fans drown the Isles out. Then again you’re still telling yourself that those Rangers fans who appear at UBS are true fans because the stained DHGate Lundqvist jersey they find in the back of the closet said so. The same ones who show up drunk looking to fight instead of watching a hockey game and used to get dragged down the stairs of the Coliseum by security.

No, my office is across the street from the Coliseum and I went to Ranger games there all the time.

But enjoy your fantasy. More pleasant than a sweep.

 

[winnipegger]

Montreal is riotous. Canucks actually riot.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Leafs…the L stands for library,I’m quiet (hihi) certain.

 

[Mad Dog Tannen]

Hmmmm. Looks like quite a few empty seats in Nashville. Surprised.

It’s still loud - even if it’s not sold out.

[triggrman]

[Canucks LB]

This is insane

The arena with the best acoustics.

Every rink is going to be sold out.

Arena's with excellent acoustics would be among the least noisy actually. Acoustic tile prevents sound from being reflected & thus reduces noise.

This topic would be better labelled as most enthusiastic NHL crowd.

Frankly Canadian cities need to get their homer glasses off. US markets are trained from birth to lose their minds at high school & college sports games & then take it to another level at pro sporting events.
