Hear noise concerns about new ballpark
We read in a News & Record article recently that there were "no noise complaints from Fisher Park" during this year's events at the new baseball stadium. It makes better business sense to acknowledge there are stadium noise concerns and work to alleviate them, rather than pretending the amplified sound of the new stadium's announcer and the fireworks generate no concerns.
There certainly are complaints about noise from amplified announcements and fireworks from the new stadium. And while many neighbors are not disturbed by the noise, many others can appreciate that those not well buffered by some combination of distance, buildings, trees, good insulation, or even hearing loss, have expressed reasonable concerns about amplified noise and fireworks from the new stadium.
We practice tolerance and acceptance of what comes our way, but it would be generous for those stadium and team owners, profiting from the amplified announcements and fireworks, to acknowledge there are concerns and improve the situation, as promised, rather than pretending there are no noise concerns. We can share loud public accolades when that happens.
