Did anyone else think the acoustics in that stadium were terrible? I couldn't hear the band at all when it was playing, but I was in the standing room only section.

I know this is a boring topic, but I'm just curious if I'm the only one who noticed.

Yea I noticed that too. I could head the bad but I couldn't hear the announcer or anything coming out of the speakers.

PA was really bad. I could barely make out the audio playing during videos on the Jumbotron. I was diagonally across from the band and could here them OK.

I thought the sound traveled fine. My problem was with the sound system. I could barely discern what was being said.

I had no problem with the PA system. Sounded fine from where I was. The band was pretty faint but I was diagonally across the stadium from them. Small wonder.

I sat just to the left of the band and could barely hear them. Couldn't hear pa and it was hot as shite in there. Jerry dropped the ball on the sound and Ac in his bubble!

The band was hard to hear the first half of the game, but it sounded like they put up some mics to amplify the band in the second half.

Let's see...
sound and acoustics problem...
gate and security problem...
insufficient bathrooms...

And this is such a great stadium because...?

Yeah, the jumbotron is outrageously good...but that's it. Yes, it's all shiny and new...doesn't make it better. Guess I'm too old school and like an outdoor stadium and not domes.

Bathrooms were aplenty, and I'm a woman.

Ac was fine. No complaints from the men I was with.

Line was very long to get into stadium at 5:30, but we passed everyone up and merged in at the very front of the line. Sorry!

I was in section 409. So other end of the stadium on the same side as the bad and could faintly hear them until they started putting them on the stadium speakers. I could hear the speakers fine. I guess because I was right by them.

I never even realized there was a PA. Never heard it at all.

From what I understand from talking to a sound guy whose firm was involved in supplying the sound system, they "value engineered" quite a bit of the needed equipment out of the contract.

Yeah , I was in the upper deck 40 yd line and could not hear the band at all when they played pregame from the field. I could hear them a little better when they were in the stadium. PA seemed fine.

yea it wasn't good at all i was in 429 could barely hear the band and could barely make out shite in the pa system.

jerrys world is big,shiny and the tv is nice but holy frick when you pay that much for a place how do you let the acoustics suck that much dick.

also the lack of being able to handle a large crowd was disappointing

They were bad but the Fiesta Bowl last year was worse against Auburn.
