I think it's partially the fact that people care less I think about sports than we used to, ESPN (and others) are spending as little as possible on production so the mics aren't tuned correctly (no idea what I'm talking about BTW) or not as many mics in the arena. And I personally think Hilton isn't as loud as it used to be (down years plus COVID hurt the crowd and student section culture), but it's getting better, the last two wins especially were great.Why don't crowds at games seem as loud as they used to? This isn't just a Hilton/college basketball thing I notice it in the NFL too. I'm assuming crowds are just as loud so it must be something with the microphones?
