During the Sonic play offs and world Championship Games I was there, the cement columns were moving in vibration from the noise of 12,906 fans if I remember correctly and the Refs were having trouble talking to the players on the floor.CenturyLink Field has acoustic effects to be sure, but it's the fans that make it what it is, long years of doing it, knowing when to do it and proud of being able to do it.
The focus is on both, their both important AND necessary to the end result, which is what is has evolved into now..
Some venues dictate the mood of the fan, one that is not intimate or close in Proximity can create a passive spectator event, instead of an engaged experience..the venue inspires the fan to participate.
