The Mecca of Basketball. The oldest active NBA arena. Every great player says MSG is the best place to play. Renovation in 2013 cost $1B. The Knicks being good again has restored the energy.
$1.4B. The most technologically advanced arena in the NBA. The food is better than most restaurants. Curry shooting warmups here is worth the ticket price alone.
Home of 12 NBA championships. The Lakers' Showtime legacy lives in every corner. But the Clippers are leaving for the Intuit Dome in Inglewood — the most expensive arena ever built ($2B).
MJ's house. The largest NBA arena by capacity. The Jordan statue outside is a pilgrimage site. The Bulls haven't been relevant in years, but the building carries history in every seat.
At 5,280 feet elevation, visiting teams literally can't breathe. The Nuggets' home record is consistently among the NBA's best. The altitude advantage is real and measurable.
