Live music v pre-recorded music
Huey Lewis speaks out.
I was pleasantly surprised several years back at the new Centre Bell where the Montreal Canadiens had live music (a band) following stoppages in play. I'd never heard/seen that before, and it's a tremendously positive experience. (I don't know if they are still there.)
The worst, to me, is the very loud music that precedes the game. Huey put it best:
The murmur of tens of thousands of people in a baseball park, vendors hollering about beer and hot dogs, along with the thrilling crack of a bat hitting a ball, an umpire's throaty call, and the occasional player’s whistle or cry of "I got it!" is a wonderful symphony of sounds that we almost never get to hear anymore. Fortunately, most venues halt the music when the action starts, but not always, and not exactly, and that can be doubly infuriating. And, yes, it’s often played too loud.
