The bass wasn't the problem they just had them turned up waaaaay too much which caused tons of clipping.

We tried, but ended up with about 30 pages of parking lot and CyTown updates for some reason.
Surprised they had issues with this. I would have thought they would have tested it out in the off season when the system was installed and tuned along with using decibel readers throughout the stadium to confirm levels too.
I guarantee they'll email back the people who complain and say, "well these are the levels its always been..."
The problem is no one with ears can deny the sound quality is atrocious.

I'm pretty sure this was a problem over the past couple years as well. If I remember correctly, there's been a few instances where the consensus was that they got it right. No clue how it's such a tough problem to solve.
The volume was so bad at the beginning. Several families around me had kids holding their ears. Felt bad for them. Lid music is fine. Music cranked to the absolute max is painful and sounds like crap with the distortion.
Are you talking about Jackie’s voice?
Wtf? She was perfectly fine yesterday and has been since the disastrous first game last year where they had her mic volume loud enough for the entire state to hear it.
No the sound system was way too loud. Speakers were cracking and it distorted all the music.
I don’t mind the loud. I think it makes sense too when the other team has the ball. But it was cracking and distorted like it was going to blow out the speakers at times and that’s an unforced error it seems. And there was some weird pausing during the intro (which the new or upgraded video intro is fire btw).
Where I was at, seemed to have way too much bass. Does the sound really have to be that loud?
The video boards are absolutely awesome.
They have done this in the past and made adjustments. Hopefully they fix it for next weekend.
The good: New Video boards are gorgeous, and I wasn't sure about using Thunderstruck but using footage of AC/DC with Angus Young shredding was awesome.
The bad: Some of the editing of the music was a little weird and it cut out right at the big moment in the song.
The ugly: The sound quality was so bad. They have got to get the levels right on that intro song. It was embarrassing how distorted it was. Sounded like absolute ****. Don't we have paid professionals to do this stuff?

North video board content thoughts:
We sit in the SEZ, so have an unencumbered view of the whole thing. Overall, well done. Graphic/video quality is clear with great resolution. Good choice of font(s) and colors (mostly.)
Where I either would like changes or simply don't care for:
1. Lower left section with stats based on what's happening at the time. Using three names each with a stat line below means the font is too small and I honestly can't read it. Keep to two lines and increase font size. Easier and quicker to read so it can be changed more often. See item 3 for an additional location to show similar stats.*
2. The "sliding" scale or percentage or ratio of stats with one color for ISU and the other for the opponent doesn't matter to me, thus taking up valuable board space. Not sure how to better describe it and didn't take a photo. It also has the number/quantity/etc. for both teams, and that's all I need to see.
3. *Lower right section with teams and score from another game. Again, that's valuable real estate on the big board, and in my opinion should be used for our game stats and info. Removing this content allows more space for stats. See item 1. All other games belong on the ribbon boards as they have been.
Will I live if none of these changes happen? Absolutely.

I thought the sound was more tuned than last year, might be sitting in the SEZ and being the furthest from the speakers. Did see some pictures from a friend who's 9 year old had headphones on sitting in the lower level on the northeast side.
I think the sound can be fixed by just turning it down a few notches. Thought it was better in the 2nd half.
The North end of CyTown could be shut off, pave a walkway in the middle and fence off McFarland Clinic for game days.
That's a little generous. Every fanbase has much more than a 10% douchebag rate.
I may have exaggerated slightly on each side, to make my point. But only slightly....
