I’ve always been fascinated by how sound shapes our experiences, especially in big venues. During a recent hockey game, I noticed how the roar of the crowd and the way it echoed off the walls totally ramped up the intensity. It got me wondering how much do stadium acoustics actually play into the emotional highs of a live event?
From a lab tech perspective, I know a bit about how sound waves behave, but I’d love to hear from others. Do certain stadium designs or materials make a difference? Maybe someone with experience in live sound or even just a passionate fan has noticed how the acoustics change the vibe. Does it affect how players perform too? Curious to hear your thoughts!
