Yeah, I understand that musical acts bring their own gear. I'm interested to know what design/construction details went into the building structure itself because I heard a tremendous difference between the two venues. I always thought an arena would sound crappy no matter what. I assume some special effert went into the acoustics at the Fleet. Or did it just happen by accident?

The Fleet house sound is also amazing. I'm not a basketball fan but got free tix to a Celtics game. The player intoductions gave me chills (between the audio and video/lighting). Good stuff.

Yea nothing can beat the old of the old Garden! Fortunatly that sound didn't cause any of the old
Garden to fall on anyone!

I hope you went to a game after this fall because we found almost half the house speakers were disconnected! The only sound enhancement I know of is the black baffles hung between the rafters to keep the sound from reflecting off the steel ceiling. The sound engineer has a lot to do with how a band sounds on any given night. If the set up takes too long they may not have time for a sound check to dial things in. Jim

jeffdavis, thanks for the input. seems like an interesting option. i'd be interesting in what people who are currently using it say about it.

thanks again.
