Granted I'm old and my eardrums have been worn to leather by decades of standing too close to the speakers for 8 hour raves, but painfully loud is difficult to achieve, esp in an open-air stadium. Hope we can get back to where that's a risk to attending a game.It must be dependent on where you are sitting. We sat lower west for unc and it was loud but not deafening. I don’t recall it ever being painfully loud.
Only too-loud experience I've had at a sporting event was a Duke-UNC basketball game at the Dean Dome. About 8 rows from the top, so maybe we were getting architectural amplification or something, but that was absolutely painful. It was the game where Austin Rivers hit a last second 3 for Duke, and at that moment it was like a flipped switch. I distinctly remember the feeling of my eardrums resetting to silence. Almost dizzying.
A definite bucket-list item is bringing my boys to a GT FB or BB game where they'll always remember their ear bone vibrations pinned at maximum and their loudest screams instantly swallowed by the air in front of their faces while the Jackets win on the last play. Aaaand great, I just came.
