10 highest capacity arenas of the NBA

Indiana Pacers v Miami Heat - Game 4
The Miami Heat have enjoyed great support at the American Airlines Arena

#4 Capital One Arena (Washington Wizards)

Cleveland Cavaliers v Washington Wizards
Washington still has a long way to go in terms of an intimidating atmosphere for away teams

The Wizards are one of the most promising teams in the Eastern Conference, and in John Wall and Bradley Beal, have a strong young core for the future.

With the ability to seat 20,356 fans, the Capital One Arena's location in the capital of the United States makes it one of the less popular venues in terms of a great atmosphere and a strong home crowd.

In fact, it has been noted that the away team, especially if they are the Celtics or the Lakers, have enjoyed much more vocal support than the Wizards.

#3 Little Caesars Arena (Detroit Pistons)

Little Caesars Arena
The Detroit Pistons' new home is the newest arena in the NBA

The newest arena in the NBA, the Little Caesars Arena, opened in September 2017 and is the joint home of the Detroit Pistons and the NHL franchise, Detroit Red Wings.

The Pistons moved to the arena from the Palace of Auburn Hills, another historic NBA arena, and have enjoyed great support in their new home, thanks to their hardcore fan base.

The team's 5-3 start to the 2017/18 season has raised hopes and fans have thronged to the modern arena in great numbers, as they have enjoyed the game night experience in the complex.
