A Listen

Have you ever wanted to go to a place because of the way it looked in pictures in a book or on a television screen? The answer to that question is probably simple: Yes. 

I have always wanted go to to Wrigley Stadium, where the Chicago Cubs play, because it looks absolutely amazing in pictures. I have always wanted to get married in Fenway park, because of how beautiful it looks. And I have always wanted to witness a basketball game in Duke's gym because of how crazy the atmosphere appears on the television and how amped the fans seem during shots caught on camera.

But what about the sound of a place. What about the sounds of our favorite sport places? What does Wrigley Stadium sound like? What would be the acoustics of a wedding in Fenway Park? What would our ears go through if we sat through a Duke basketball game in their own gym? 

What do our places of sport sound like? 

Here is the University of Rhode Island gym's soundscape--that I took several weeks ago, beginning with the cardio room and moving on to the weight room.
