Still, Dan Graveline, executive director of the Georgia Dome and World Congress Center, is bemused. Consider the FleetCenter's multimedia scoreboard with its Sony Jumbotron video display unit. Nothing gets a fan's attention faster these days than a multimedia, multimillion-dollar scoreboard. It will tell you when to cheer, it will keep things moving, and it will make sure you do not miss a thing. It has to be.
People are desperate to get excitement.
They are looking for a bigger hit. Looking at the diagram comparing Foxboro with the Ravens stadium, one can see some significant differences. Although the lower seating follows closely the slope and configuration of Foxboro, in Baltimore two levels of luxury suites have been enlarged, lowered, and moved forward to the edge of the playing field. The press boxes, though not marked, were also brought down closer to the field. Apart from the influence of excessive drinking in the past, it is easy to understand why Foxboro Stadium has a propensity for emotionally involved and sometimes unruly spectators.
