It'll be a raucous crowd. And since they aren't neatly tucked away up in the nosebleeds at the top end of the saddle, they'll inspire the rest of the arena to get rowdy.
Owners still get boxes & high priced tickets all around, players get the support of actual loud fans, people on a budget still get to support their favorite team.

I like the idea, but I wonder if it would work in an arena. Stadiums are not only shaped differently, but generally a lot larger. Also, there's the roof dilemma. But it's a good idea. One for the architects to figure out.
