motrouble Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Has anyone been to BOTH of these shows? Does one dome sound better than the other? I have been to Indy before, however I am thinking of going to Atlanta this year... Looking for review of the venue, not the show itself...

year5corpsmom Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 [i have been to both places. Last summer in Atlanta, it was pouring rain and the dome sprung a leak. I personally believe that Indianapolis has a little better sound and much better seating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Indy doesn't have an indoor waterfall. Advantage- RCA Dome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaSqueegee Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Well....I have been to both....I thought Atlanta was better. You can't beat those club level seats at the Georgia Dome. I still prefer outdoor drum corps!!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBSMYTH Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I've been to Indy several times, San Antonio several times and Atlanta last year. For sound, I'd rank it Georgia Dome, Alamo Dome and then RCA Dome a distance behind the other two. I enjoyed the overall experience at all three venues. If I had to rank them, I'd have to go Georgia Dome, RCA Dome, then Alamo Dome. Even though I prefer outdoor drum corps, there is something to be said for a rain free, bug free, climate controlled environment. (Can you imagine a major DCI event outdoors in San Antonio in the middle of a typical Texas heatwave?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiritdm06 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I don't konw much about San Antonio or Atlanta but I can tell you that the RCA Dome=The Echo Dome!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Can you imagine a major DCI event outdoors in San Antonio in the middle of a typical Texas heatwave?) Last year I went to Indy and Battle Creek. The latter was unbearably hot, with no shade and huge lines for water. I know the RCA Dome echoes and that's con, but I totally agree with you, climate control is a huge plus!

I haven't been to a show that hot since finals in D.C. in 2000!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CozyChopsCom Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I've been to the RrrCccAaa Dome numerous times working with bands for BOA and for DCWorld, including the recent BOA Championships. Last July, I performed with the CorpsVets in the Georgia Dome during the DCI contest. Other than "raining" inside in one upper section, I'd rank the Georgia Dome as the best indoor acoustics I've found. Granted there are many domes I've never experienced. The RrrCccAaa Dome has the worst acoustics I've heard. Fortunately, the new dome DCI will use after this year is supposed to be much better. Let's hope so.

LaSqueegee Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Pontiac Silverdome (former home of the Detroit Lions) = the worst sounding I've heard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
