used to sit in the south endzone, high up, and couldn't hear penalties, or half the announcements. Everyone around us were all asking each other "What did he say?" the whole game.
Then we started moving around...in the north endzone close to the scoreboard, it's deafening. Can't hear yourself think. On the west and east sides, it's fine. We're now in the north, but in the east corner, about halfway up. It's a little loud, but not terrible.
Of course we know the real reason they moved it to the north was to appease the neighbors. They just didn't want to say that, so they told everyone it was for better "quality," when everyone knows it's way worse now than it used to be.
It's funny to claim that speakers all around the stadium is a problem, when it worked fine before, and it works in literally every other stadium. Reminds me of BYU fans saying "blue paint kills grass" for years as a reason why we couldn't paint the endzone. When lots of other blue teams did it. Now BYU paints the endzone and somehow it's just fine.
