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.

No one builds soccer stadiums without seats anymore. There are some standing room areas in a couple Baseball and Football stadiums, but it's rare.
