But if you've never been down on the middle of the field, you might not know how quiet it is down there in regards to the loudspeakers. Virtually all the speakers are pointed to the stands. So to get it loud enough on the field to be useful for warmups, they have to crank the f*** out of the volume. Probably the best solution would be to install speakers at field level pointed inward, but the tight confines of the FD field make that difficult. There's just no great place for them to go.
If the purpose of the pregame music is for the crowd, then the players would be basically warming up in silence down on the field.
No great solution.
