Maybe i'm too young or have simply learned to block loud amps in the midst of things but while i can agree on the pit issue, i can't say that it's been too loud in the stands...
i think that either more and better speaker placement in the pits or the cool FM transmitter thing would certainly help things out because there were many a time when i was just scratching my head and asking to my teammates if they knew what in the world the announcer said and it does hamper team communication in those crucial robot-fixing moments.
As for the stands, it's only horrible when you have to be directly in front of the speakers (ala Music Theater @ Hartford, or the FIRST camp @ Epcot) to get a decent view of the game (which is kinda important to the intelligence gathering branches of teams and those engineers not on the field).
I do like the loud music because it does appeal to some of the younger crowd, maybe a part that wouldn't have thought that robotics could be so cool or so exciting... that and the ESPN coverage... i'm really curious on how they'll handle this year's game...
just my two cents,
jon
