I swear removing the giant flaming-C baffles on the ceiling has made the acoustics substantially worse in there too which I'm sure doesn't help.

Sled Island can be bad for that because people show up early to see a band they like and just chat with their friends until they get on stage. It's very disrespectful.
The worst example I can remember was a Lou Barlow acoustic set at Commonwealth. There were so many people talking you could barely hear the music.
