7. Izod Center – New Jersey

An epically bad arena for an epically bad team, the Izod Center is neck-and-neck with the Bradley Center for “Worst NBA Arena.” Its exterior makes it look more like a really, really large department store than a sports venue. It’s been described as “cold and dull” which appear to be statements of fact rather than of opinion. There is virtually no character inside or outside of this blocky building.
There is only one concourse for the entire arena, so naturally it gets completely packed before, after, and during halftime of every NBA game played there. In addition to the crowded circulation spaces, the ice for hockey games is generally regarded as the worst in the NHL.
The place was an overall dump.
