Re: What can be done about the volume of the sound at football games?
I'd like to personally thank Dr. Maggard and members of his staff for taking care of the sound issue. The game day experience last night was 100% better than the game day experience on Saturday.
In addition to the volume being bearable and allowing me to hear the person seated next to me, four songs were played that I actually knew. Those songs were, I Love Rock and Roll by Joan Jett and the Black Hearts, Bohemian Rhapsody and We Will Rock You by Queen, and Dancing Queen by ABBA. All the other auto-tuned stuff by artist with very little talent I could have made on the computer in my studio in about an hour.
Anyway, great job Dr. Maggard.

I reckon Dr Maggard got the message and that won't happen again.
As I said last Monday, the PA would be turned down. You must not have read that considering how much railing you did all week long.

I'll admit I was wrong, sound level was very tolerable...
Re: What can be done about the volume of the sound at football games?
way to low on the volume tonight and I am in an area closer to the speakers, probably was really low on the other end of the stadium

The levee absorbs sound.
If it sounds good by the levee it is way to loud everywhere else.

Why do you sound so disappointed?
Will you still be emailing Dugas? What about your lawyer?
Re: Game Sounds, Highs and Lows
Geezus, some of you guys need to read what youre posting. Do you know what you sound like?
Re: Game Sounds, Highs and Lows
I just wonder... if ESPN had anything to do with the volume being turned down for a national broadcast?

Probably just Maggard responding to the people. Hes been doing that for a while now. I know we arent used to it, but its happening.
