It definitely seemed to be too loud. We used sound meters about 4 years ago and measured regional events and the championship and provided data. Levels were pretty good for a while after that but it seems to be back to the old ways now. When we were packing for St. Louis we left the meters in our lab. We wish we had taken them to collect the data.

ps: a regional we went to this year seemed to be too loud. The emcee was using the filed sound meter to see how loud a response she could get out of the crowd. They should have been using it to measure the too loud levels.
