Loudest NHL Arena

[FirewagonChange]

Nassau Coliseum and St Louis are the loudest in the playoffs. Columbus does well too.

Montreal.

Taking size into account, Montreal is louder

Not to mention Montreal is more consistently loud, no matter what the game is for. Also as an aside, if you play against Montreal in your barn, you automatically usually get a much louder enviornment. Winnipeg fans dont do this. I just find if Montreal is on tv, or you catch them from anywhere live...chances are it's the louder arena that night.

And yes, the Isles arena is very loud too. Especially come playoff time, as I also recall the series in 02. Fun series, I can still picture Tucker against that crowd.

Edmonton in 2006 and NYI 2013 are the two loudest I've ever heard (TV)

 

[RangerGuru]

I've been to

NYR
NYI
Philly
NJ
PIT
CAR
CBJ
CHI
WSH
TB
FLA

The loudest of the bunch is probably NYI / PHI with a homer vote to MSG

If Columbus gets to playoffs NWA is very loud, after Dubinsky scored ot goal vs pitt the crowd chanted all the way through the intermission.

but imho its Chicago or St Louis

My vote would have to go to Winnipeg. It's always exciting watching the Jets play,a s the crowd is so into the game. They are, by far, the loudest Canadian rink. Chicago, Boston, and Philly would also be fairly loud I would imagine.

If the Jets make the playoffs, it will be bedlam. I attended a couple of playoff games in the 90's, and the noise was unreal.

Jets probably but I can't get onboard with how the fans react to the opposing team.

Usually there is no booing now, not every team.

That was a year one thing.

Top 3 Regular Season:

1. Winnipeg by far in the regular season. Seems to be intense and electric. Guess when it's -40 you gotta keep warm somehow. But they need to make the playoffs before I can comment on their post-season exuberance.

2. Montreal. The Bell Centre is usually rocking!

3. Nashville

Post Season (Historically)

1. Montreal
2. Philly
3. Edmonton
4. Ottawa
5. Chicago
6. Vancouver
7. Columbus
8. Winnipeg
9. Dallas
10. St Louis

IMO omitting Nassau Coliseum in the top 10 seriously invalidates that list.

Montreal is the loudest. They're loud regardless of how their team is doing (sorry Isles fans-but that's not the case with us).

Players come here and say that they have never seen anything like it

 

[jeangauthier]

Historically..........Montreal..........ask any players past or present that ave been on the ice........

It won't be as loud. Barclays is a large, airy arena with a high ceiling. The noise won't reflect.

Ahhh. Thanks. I thought it was smaller and would reflect the sound more.

I can understand why they do it however the team lost a lot of support from fans of other teams because of it.

Regular season it's Winnipeg hands down. Canadiens in second.
Post season it's the Canadiens along with a couple other teams.

Edmonton was great in '06, however who knows how many more fans we'll have with the inmates at the controls.

It's smaller in hockey seating capacity capacity but the arena has a much higher roof.

 

[CH25]

Bell Center used to be a lot louder a few years back. But it's still the loudest and the most intimidating arena.

 

[Virtanen18]

The Isles crowd was absurdly loud during that series vs the Pens. Excited for them to be in the playoffs again.

You sure about that? Because other than Leafs fans for the most part, I mostly see people talking positively about the Jets. Anyway, like the other person said, it's not really a thing anymore.

As for crowd noise, I don't care if the Jets are the loudest or not, I'd be happy to hear that the Panthers or Phoenix was louder, because I'm all for people everywhere being very excited about hockey!

My top three are
1) MSG
2) First Niagara Center aka Sabres when we have a good team!
3)Tampa Bay fans always seem loud when we play them or the Flyers Arena.

Only after goals are scored. It's pretty tame. Bit of a head scratching list.

I know right, he's basically saying: "what's the loudest arena? Oh wait, before you answer, it Winnipeg, and there's no way it's anyone else!!"

I clicked on this thing expected to see one of our guys looking for a pat on the back. Wasn't disappointed.

It's simple physics that it's Winnipeg. A smaller arena helps immensely. I've been to many arenas around the league and it's not close.

I had the pleasure of seeing games on back-to-back days in Montreal and Winnipeg recently. Montreal was significantly quieter just because it's so massive. I've seen drunk Habs fans almost knock each other out because they couldn't come to an agreement on how great Price was, so I'm not knocking their enthusiasm.

Edmonton has a small arena too. Not as small as Winnipeg by about 1000 but everygame I've been to, other then the 2006 playoffs, the arena has been as stale as can be. And I'm not just talking the rebuilding days.

Winnipeg-Isles final would be awesome in so many ways.

 

[canadiansbronco]

Bell center is disappointing this year...A couple of times this year it was really dead.
