OK, so this was problem at RFK too, but it has gotten worse. From my section out in 142, it feels like I have been hit with a concussion grenade. The explosions during the National Anthem resonate, and destroy any fine performances I might otherwise enjoy.
I can live with the rockets red glare, but give me a break on the bombs bursting. It takes what is sometimes a nice rendition, and ruins it. I get especially annoyed when this happens on special days, where the Anthem is meant to honor those that lost their lives. The explosions damage the experience, as the Nats take a moment of honor and try to spice it up.
Even Orioles fans had the good sense not to yell "O" during a few special moments.(Post 9/11 or the All-Star game)
So stop the explosions during the Anthem. This is a change that needs to happen everywhere, but let's stop it in DC first. Let's not cheapen the National Anthem with explosions.
