Loudest Arena? Quietest Arena?

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Last night at PNC arena, after the Noesen goal, I believe, the noise was measured at over 112 dbs.

Can confirm, they had it up on the jumbotron. My ears were ringing for like 5 mins after that.

Rogers Place in Edmonton will be bonkers inside and outside the building as per usual

I assume the suits in Toronto will be the quietest

Last year during game 6, McDavid tied the game at 1-1 two minutes or so in.

I could not hear the obnoxiously loud goal horn over the crowd lol

Never forget when Canes fans stood for an entire game 7.



I was at the game. They literally never sat down. That should give you an idea of type of crazy fans they have down here. Add alcohol and great acoustics, and it's just an insane atmosphere.

Not sure if it’s just the mic setup but Tampa is surprisingly quiet for a team with so much success.

Best: Canes, Boston, Montreal, Rangers

MSG playoff game is on my bucket list, the atmosphere looks like a 10/10.

In the regular season, Tampa is pretty quiet. Can't speak for the playoffs.

This is like the stupid arms race the NFL had with "loudest stadium". Measuring peak sound pressure levels. Until teams started just piping in fake noise to make it "louder".


The whole question should be far more about the responsiveness and energy of the building, not just a screaming competition of who can hit the measure highest like an audio version of one of these sort of things:

Honestly, they need to move the commentators out of the building or into some sort of sound proof room. That Dallas crowd was wild yesterday.

Careful now, that's gonna rub folks the wrong way.

The amount of negative comments every game in Dallas from other teams fans about folks standing for an entire period is annoying enough.

whatever happened to that?

Florida loudest???

It is very loud. I love how most in here just listing Canadian teams like they are louder because they have been around longer.

Fact is fans are louder down south. Need to move a couple more Canadian teams to southern markets where it is just better hockey fan bases.

Toronto is morgue of whiny fans. Arizona Leafs? Houston Jets? I think so.

Sportsnet did a decibel reading for Canada

1. Winnipeg
2. Vancouver
3. Edmonton
4. Toronto

 

[TheSecondSeason]

Edmontons Crowd seems to be the noisiest, Vancouver's Crowd is right up there with Edmonton's too plus the white towels.. Winnipeg's seem to be loud during goals, perhaps due to a more compact arena. Sorry Toronto, that's a dead crowd in comparison to what we are seeing in the West. Forget about the crowds, they should bring this intro back to Sportsnet. Best Intro song and video ever.

 

[JadedLeaf]

I kind of wish they would do one with Heroes by david bowie just for the NHL 99 nostalgia.

 

[cptjeff]

the soon to be new roof at their arena will be blown right off.

I thought they were more into crashing jumbotrons.

Not surprised Winnipeg is the loudest, being a small rink and a pretty rowdy crowd, but I am surprised Edmonton is below Vancouver.

Winnipeg was like 113 decibels, Vancouver and Edmonton were close, were like 109 and 108? Toronto down at somewhere around 104?

The whole “bandwagon” aspect for Vancouver is heavily overblown simply due to the fact the city has more to offer than hockey. The fans are just as ravenous as every other fanbase

It’s more about building acoustics than the actual fans in the seats. Except for a city like Toronto, where there’s a large number of corporate seats or older fans.

Fair point

 

[Canucks LB]

The Canucks crowd is absolutely ridiculous

Vancouver beats Edmonton in everything, especially hockey

I will say, 2nd period was a big lull, I felt game 5 vs preds was much more consistent in it's energy, but once lindholm scored, the barn was just a building eruption! Didn't die down even w game done, as I live just above arena, the cheers and honks are still going

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Canucks arena has an incredible atmosphere, lots of positive energy and buzz, very loud.
