It was one of the loudest crowds that I've played in front of in the postseason," said Bryant, who passed Jerry West for the Lakers' all-time playoff scoring record, finishing Thursday with 4,465 points. "At the end of the third quarter, it was like the barn in Sacramento. It was really loud.

What Andy said.

For those of us who watched this game - the crowd was amazing!
Everyone was dressed in blue. The entire arena was blue. They all remained standing at the start of the game until their team made their first basket. This took awhile, because the Thunder kept missing baskets. When an announcer asked Phil what he thought of the crowd, Phil just stared at the announcer for a few seconds then told the announcer that he could hear a word that he said, because the crowd was too loud and walked away. This crowd really helped the Thunder to pull off this win.
We really need to bring this back to Arco.

^that he could NOT hear a word

That was my impression, also. That he was being sarcastic.
The crowd was quiet at the time and he obviously heard the question because he answered it. I thought he might have been annoyed that the reporter was asking him about the Thunder crowd.

I know this has been mentioned
while what happened to the fans in Seattle really stinks, it is nice to see OKC get behind this team. Pretty bold move, though, showing Clay Bennett so many times last night.
Love you too, Kobe.

Good to know that were still the measuring stick as far as crowd noise
Also I don’t really take that much offense to “the barn”; kind of fits Arco.
We may lose the noise factor to the Thunder.
Time to bring those cowbells back into the barn.

but is it weird that we are still called the barn when they are in OKC?

Not really, since you can smell cow dung when you land in Sacramento.

Oh ya, I forgot about that
It still makes me wonder where that smell comes from, considering we don’t have any cows

But we do have Peaches.

Peach breath = Cow dung?
It all makes sense now

Well, you know what happens when you eat too much peaches?

Loud, louder, loudest (decibals, schmecibals)
I mentioned this in the thread last night, but I attended an Aerosmith concert, very close to the speakers. It gets the bronze medal for loud. My ears were still ringing for part of the next day.
The silver goes to ARCO, a tie between the 1st home playoff game that the Richmond-led Kings played against the Sonics, the 1st home playoff game for the Webber-Divac Kings against the Jazz, and Bibby’s shot in game 5 of the 2001-02 WCF. For these events, my ears rang the entire next day, with my hearing not back to normal until after my 2nd night of sleep.
The gold goes to the old Madhouse on Madison in Chicago, pre-United Center. A Blackhawks-Red Wings NHL playoff match. Three days after, I went to the doctor to make sure that I had not suffered permanent hearing loss. It took almost 5 days for my hearing to completely return to normal.

You mentioned this yesterday.
And excellent elaboration. All I got is: Wow!

I think
that there were moments during the above mentioned games when ARCO was louder than the Madhouse. But the noise at the Madhouse started during the 1st portion of the national anthem, and it didn’t let up until intermission. And then it started up again for the entire 2nd period, and again for the entire 3rd period. It was like standing next to a jet engine for 40 minute non-stop intervals.

Was that a brick building or something?
It seems like one of those places where the decibels automatically get louder cuz the sound is bouncing off walls continuously and not leaving the area.

It was built in 1928
So the seats were built for men that were 5’8" and 150 lbs. You had to wait for intermissions or a stoppage in play if you wanted to get out of your seat, because everyone in the row would have to stand up to let you pass. Your legs pressed up against the chair in front of you, and the arm rests were prime real estate. The building itself was brick and concrete and iron.

Wow yeah.
That’s totally not a surprise. It was small, everyone was packed in, and everyone was loud. Loud is a matter of space I won’t argue.

Plus, no matter what time of year, you always had to walk through three feet of snow, uphill, to get there.
