The above is certainly true but the dome music and soundtrack have certainly gotten louder over the years. We took the family last year and the artificial noise was extreme to the point it made the night unenjoyable for our kids. They were both so excited to attend a game, and neither has any interest in returning.

I attended a few playoff games last year as well and found them extreme. The noise was all artificial, little of it was natural crowd excitement. Thinking back to playoff games played 10 to 15 years ago the dome would be rocking with crowd excitement, now it's just speakers blasting, and the experience is completely different.

I'm only 43, maybe that makes me old, but I have no desire to return at this point. Pay $1000 in tickets to leave feeling like I attended a rock concert. No thanks.

I actually just sent an email to Calgary Flames customer service on this topic, perhaps if more did something. might change.
