The Hottest Arenas in Europe

I think it doesn't matter how loud it is. After some minutes you take the loud audience as given and adapt to it. Changes between loud and silent audiences are much more effective I think.

Like that saying that you don't know what joy is if you don't go through hard times.
 
What makes you think that people are singing in the same tempo all the time? What makes you think that they're not getting louder, whistling or cheering, when something special happens? What makes you think that they don't care about the game because they sing?
You should really come to such a game once, to see that this absolutely not the case. Aris is the perfect example for such a hot homecourt, where people care a lot about the game, are extremely loud and still sing a lot - this homecourt was one of the main reasons why they reached the top16 this year. And I didn't read a single comment of a player who claimed that he didn't realize the fans because of them singing all the time, rather the opposite.
I like the singing during basketball games a lot, I like singing our club anthem and our chants - and I still care a lot for the game and don't want to miss a scene. You might not like to sing and it's your good right not to like it, but saying that people who like to sing during a game don't care for it just doesn't seem right.
 
Dan friend dont be so absolute in some things that you havent seen.Yesterday i was watching Liverpool - Chelsea and i loved their audience.Their songs which shows the love for their teams.I dont know from which country are you but here in Europe most basketball arenas like Greek clubs,TAU,Maccabi, Partizan and much more are like religious temples in a way.The difference between Europe and USA perhaps is the word DEVOTION.That says it all.I would suggest you to watch a big derby as a negative spectator and i can assure you that after the game whatever the result is the first thing that you will say to your friends is about the great atmosphere and the REAL love for the game
 
I wouldn't say either that it's the REAL love for the game. It's just what we like most. I've been to matches in the states and in Canada and have seen people who really loved the game as well, they just cheered a different way. I have a friend in Germany, who doesn't like to sing at all and who doesn't like to clap and scream "defense" all the time either, he just loves to follow the flow of the game, jumping up whenever something happens, without saying a word - and he's not less passionate for the game than I am. Everybody should follow a game the way he/she likes to imho. I for myself love the singing and for me it creates a wonderful and hot atmosphere, but I can very well accept people who like to follow a game in a different way.

After yesterday great final I must write that PAO fans are the best !!! WOW !!! :eek: :)
 
EUROBASKET.COM

The OAKA Olympic Stadium before the opening tip-off was simply the best basketball atmosphere in the world.

The noise level produced by the 19,000 screaming fans was amazing and the basketball people from the United States could not believe the European supporters intensity.

There is nothing like it in the NBA or any major NCAA college game environment and at one point prior to the tip off the Panathinaikos crowd chants sent chills through my body.

The CSKA contingent brought about 1000 fans but they were overwhelmed by an estimated 10,000 Panathinaikos supporters dressed in their Irish green.

If they could have purchased a million tickets they probably would have.

Most basketball experts predicted that Panathinaikos would be victorious on their home court due to the fanatical athmosphere and support.

The Euroleague had a special presentation prior to the game which featured Nick Gallis who is a basketball God in Greece and the fans went crazy.


Panathinaikos combined with their great talent and their almighty sixth man (great fan support) overwhelmed the big budget CSKA to become the new Euroleague Champions by a 93-91 score.

Behind an insanely passionate home crowd, Panathinaikos Athens was able to outlast last year's Euroleague champs, CSKA Moscow, 93-91 to take home the 2007 Euroleague Championship on Sunday night.

Fan favorite Dimos Diamantidis took home the Final Four MVP, but the true MVPs were the Panathinaikos fans who chanted at a fever pitch throughout the games. Unlike many European countries, basketball is truly loved in Greece, and the Panathinaikos fans played a huge role in their team bringing home the Championship.

Euroleague regular season MVP and Team USA killer Theo Papaloukas was in the unenviable position of facing his home fans. Every time he touched the ball, the Pana fans seemed to increase their intensity as they were obviously not too happy about his decision to tell CSKA to "show him the money". The sound of boos mixed in with high pitched whistling resembled something that would be best described as a hostile swarm of cicadas. The sound was deafening and obviously contributed to the shooting woes for Tau Vitoria in the opening round and then CSKA Moscow on Sunday in the final.

I attended the Euro Final Four in '05 in Moscow, and a number of other European basketball events, as well as numerous NBA and NFL playoff games, but I have never seen a crowd like this. It is not unlike a symphony as the crowd is led by a conductor and and set of drums. The synchronization is truly remarkable and the chants come together and sound like one loud voice yelling in your ear.

If American team's fans were able to somehow bottle the organization of the chants and add whistling to the booing, it would surely catch on fast. American fans have the same passion and intensity, however the synchronization with the "futbol" chants throughout the game takes it to another level.

5,000 fans showed up without tickets pleading to get in to support their team, and though sucurity was especially tight, some were actually able to by some accounts

When I saw BiH national team playing in Sarajevo against Israel last year and Bosnian fans were waving the palestinian flag that was powerful. Or when they play Serbian team and hold up a banner "we have 250,000 reasons to hate you".

Powerful stuff.

Horde Zla!!!!!!!!!

I doubt what you're posting is that true with the serbs the only good muslim is a dead muslim. Hell Sarkozy was just elected in France it might be true in Western Europe as well.

The palestinean issue has been played out in the media and after iraq and afghanastan at least the Americans are sick of helping muslims. The palestinean issue had reached its peak.

Almost half of Bosnians are muslim (majority Sunni muslims), so no wonder they support Palestinians.

Americans never help anyone, they just take advantage of them buying them off.
