ACC Basketball Stadiums Ranked by Capacity

You can’t tell the story of college basketball without a long discussion about the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Duke-North Carolina speaks for itself as a rivalry but it is so much deeper than just those two.

Louisville has won multiple national championships and been a force despite falling on tough times of late.

North Carolina State provided perhaps the greatest Cinderella story in the history of the NCAA Tournament.

There are too many to name here but every other program has had their moments in the sun and star players as well.

And all of those players played in some of the most-known arenas in college basketball.  How do they rank in terms of seating capacity?

Here are the 15 men’s basketball arenas in the ACC ranked from the smallest seating capacity to the largest.
