Maybe that's just me getting older? 
IMO, the accoustics of the place are just......off, somehow. The shows that I've seen in there don't have the same sound as they did in Kemper to me. Everything is just a bit too distorted, or a bit too loud, or a bit too soft....
Sprint Center is nice and new and shiny, and all of that, but I'm not so sure that it's a better venue for rock concerts than Kemper was. |
Wow, that's a bummer but it's not that surprising because acoustically, I feel the same about Staples Center, which is also an AEG building. The Forum was a great place to see bands, although my favorite indoor venues are Nokia Live and the Gibson at Universal. Both have been painstakingly acoustically designed and treated, making the sound phenomenal.
Kemper was always a good venue and the only band that I found that was too loud was Metallica, when they opened for Ozzy back like in 1986/1987. My friends and I went out to the concourse and could hear them more clearly than in the arena. Way too loud.
