Sat here last season for the Mavericks game. I could see both sides of the floor really well but it lacks intimacy. I have been to the Hornets arena in New Orleans and even though I sat in the upper level, I still felt like I was a part of the game. In section 317, you don't really feel that. At that arena, though, there are only two levels of seating. At the Pepsi Center, there are three.

The Pepsi Center does host a number of NCAA college basketball tournament games from time to time. I would imagine the atmosphere would be much better for those games. Nuggets fans are kind of (yawn....) so they don't help give you a great fan experience, much less from the top level.
