So let me get this straight. You are going to a football game in a stadium that is known for being loud, and you are threatening legal action if it is loud again tomorrow?
While Louisiana has technically gotten rid of the legal principle of assumption of the risk, it does have a comparative fault scheme. That is, someone who is at fault for another's damage will be assigned a percent of fault, including the person who has the alleged damage. Just so you know.
This is not legal advice.

Saturday night was totally UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!
Ringing in the ears is called Tinitus and is caused by exposure to loud noise over an extended period of time. If you cannot carry on a conversation without yelling in the face of the person you are talking to, it's too loud and hearing protection is required. Look it up on the OSHA web site.
I am not encouraging anybody to go to games until they do something about the loud PA system. I do not want to expose them to that. It is a health issue that can easily be avoided. I have been wearing hearing protection at games for some time now because I have Tinitus and don't want it to get worse. There is no cure for Tinitus.
I really hope you are being facetious. Imagine going to a concert and movies and complaining about sound

Quit being a douche canoe. The PA was way too loud. I also have tinnitus and it sucks.
The music is fine. In genre and volume. The PA is retarded.

I do not go to concerts and movies. I do not subject myself to loud noises. On job sites I wear hearing protection. I go to games and wear hearing protection. It's the people who don't know better that the university is harming. Whether They are doing it intentionally or not is beside the point. They are damaging people's hearing and it has got to stop.

Same here. I’ve had tinnitus for years and it is stressful. Saturday was way over the top.

I have tinnitus as well but come on man. A sporting event is a loud environment period. The PA was loud and they are addressing it. If you feel like your ears are being damaged then don’t put yourself in that environment. It’s pretty simple.
