Stadium PA is way too loud

Was just at the Broncos game and disagree wholeheartedly. It’s loud but that’s a good thing my crew and I had a great time. Maybe just bring ear plugs next time?

Yeah, ear plugs are very inexpensive.

Something has to be loud, lord knows the fans aren't.

It does disturb my book reading and cheese eating. Maybe we can get more spa music so we can all be relaxed after the game.

Stadium PA volume/mixing (heck, ANY microphone/amplifier/speaker combo) needs to be treated the same way as concerts are --

Have somebody walk around with a meter and a reasonable ear, with an iPad running some audio mixing program and adjust things as needed from the audience viewpoint instead of just reaching over and cranking the volume on the board.  See this all the time at major concerts or other venues where they're making tweaks away from the mixing board. 

It's like when you have some singer/guitar at a restaurant/bar with a Giant Amp aimed at dinner tables 3 feet away (not an exaggeration), and deciding that it's more important to hear the music than it is for the diners to talk to each other.   Loud doesn't equate to audible, and a lower volume might make the audience appreciate the music more than having to fight it.

You can have loud AND you can have audible.  But only if someone pays attention to what the actual output sounds like out in the bowl.

also.....someone was standing up in front of me at the last game.  Is that reporting number still available at game?  The nerve.  Don't they realize where they are.
