    Top 100 Stadium Experiences of 2013 (US and Canada)

    According Stadium Journey Magazine/.com.
    It's a list that will raise eyebrows, cause debate, and, since this is the internet, likely create unfettered rage.

    #1 is, of course, Amsoil Arena in Duluth, MN

    (#3 is Compton Family Ice Arena and #15 is Mariucci Arena)

    I'm saying the PB crew took him Grandma's for pitchers of Kami's before the game and he was so sloshed he had no idea what was going on around him.

      And this is a bad idea because


      If you read Stadium Journey, it's actually a good resource... I would say that there is some bias to "minor" sports venues in their writing, but that's not exactly a bad thing... Usually their views are spot on with my tastes...

        Kohl Center at #41? Ahead of Lambeau?

          Western bias.

          Amsoil Arena does sound great though. I'd love to see it sometime if it weren't out in the middle of nowhere.

            As a CC fan, having the World Arena as the #5 college hockey venue is either a really sad statement about college hockey, or this list sucks.

              No name site makes a list. Not really news, and not worth being happy or upset about.

                A lot of eastern arenas are really small and very basic, from the photos I've seen. And the nicer arenas (in terms of the building itself) aren't filled with excited fanbases (OSU) or are too new to make the list, I'd guess (PSU). That said, I would have expected to see more of BC and BU on that college hockey list. Their regional guy out in New England is probably a UMass fan.

                        would be nice knowing what criteria they used. Bell Centre behind the World Arena? C'mon!

                          If you click on the names of the venue, it gives the entire review.

                            That list should start and end with Cameron Indoor Stadium. The fact that it didn't make the top 100 (unless I missed it) pretty much shows that the whole list is dumb.

                              I agree that it really is a good resource and their reviewers generally do a good job and giving relatively unbiased views of many aspects of the venues and their surroundings. Obviously this is like any other list that is based on human opinion, it's mainly just something to talk about, and I just found it amusing that the local arena (which I do really like) was named #1 above many other more well-known venues.
