Winners of individual categories
Although Denver was the overall winner, the Nuggets did not finish on top of any category in the USA TODAY search for the most fan-friendly arena. The individual winners, category by category:

Category


Seat
New Orleans
In a $51 seat, you could almost touch the players.

Fan involvement
Sacramento
Clearly the most rabid fans; the Kings have had 266 consecutive sellouts.

Entertainment
Miami
Dance team is league's best-kept secret with its glamorous costumes and well-choreographed routines.

Concessions
Atlanta
Great prices $3.50 32-ounce soda, $125 team jerseys, free but informative programs.

Parking
Phoenix
Cheap ($7) and, unlike at other venues, you can park less than a three-minute walk from the arena.

What idiots buy 2 programs and 2 caps at an arena. Fuck buying caps at a game, buy one at your local sporting goods stores. I have always hated that as part of the cost.

Then again, many Americans struggle because they spend money a ton of stupid shit, so maybe 2 programs are valid.
