BackBeat Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 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. The new Lucas Oil dome in Indy has a retractable roof and a retractable side in one of the end zones. BoA and DCI are both involved in the acoustics. Should be the real deal, especially after the rain showers mess in during finals week in Orlando 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BST07 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 The RCA dome sounds fantastic. Atlanta was nice as well but I would say the sound is a little damper there. I would give a slight edge to the RCA dome One things for sure, the acoustics in the alamodome are awful! Especially at the very top, and from on the field. I've witnessed both many times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCImonkey Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 As a fan in the stands. I've been to both the RCA Dome and the Georgia Dome. I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THE RCA DOME AGAIN! I was miserable. The music didn't reach me! I heard every show 3 times because of the echo. I had the worst headache after i left that night. I totally missed small nuances in each show because of the echo and the drums. The seats at the RCA dome ar much smaller as well (with the exception of the ones on the 50 yard line) Georgia Dome. Much better acoustics. Wider seating, gorgeous waterfalls...oh wait I don't think that was planned. I would go to the GA dome again for a show. Not that bad actually.

scrappyslap Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I've marched in the Hoosier dome Pre seats and turf and the RCA dome and there is as much echo now as without the seats this place sucks. for marching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FH4life Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I hate domes. I've been to indy and san antonio as a performer and I could barely hear myself... keep drum corps unplugg... ehr, outdoor! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacquesb Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I can't speak for Indy, but I was at the Ga Dome last year(good seats, too), and the acoustics were AWFUL. I don't think I'll ever spend my hard-earned money on attending another indoor drum corps show again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsoprano Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) I can't speak for Indy, but I was at the Ga Dome last year(good seats, too), and the acoustics were AWFUL. I don't think I'll ever spend my hard-earned money on attending another indoor drum corps show again. Don't forget that you have an option to see (and hear!!!) drum corps in the great outdoors in metro Atlanta and less than two hours away at JSU. And, you won't have to deal with Ticketmaster! June 23 - Atlanta Brass Classic at it's great, new location at Milton High School in Alpharetta. Cadets, Crown, Spirit, Boston, Teal Sound and CorpsVets. Tickets (at a new, reduced price this year) will be on sale soon at DCI.org. July 15 - A GREAT lineup the night after the Georgia Dome regional at Jacksonville State University, just 90 miles west of Atlanta. Cavaliers, Blue Devils, Boston, Spirit, Glassmen, Troopers (welcome back, y'all!!!), Memphis Sound, Music City Legend and CorpsVets. Tickets on sale soon at DCI.org.

LSU GRAD 82 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 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?) There's no such thing as a typical Texas heatwave. It's hot and humid every day in the summer in Texas............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geluf Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Its only humid down in the southern parts here. Houston, etc. We get that, yeah. Dallas and the northside are fairly dry by comparison (not all the time...but way more often then Houston). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBSMYTH Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 There's no such thing as a typical Texas heatwave. It's hot and humid every day in the summer in Texas............. Exactly - every summer day is a heatwave day in Texas. Once again, I've got no problem with a little climate control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
