Mercedes-Benz Stadium says sound will be much better at Kenny Chesney concert

ATLANTA — Channel 2 Action News got a sneak peek at the new improvements inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium ahead of this weekend's Kenny Chesney concert.

The second-ever concert at Mercedes-Benz Stadium is Saturday night, and many are hoping it will be a better experience than the first.

The first-ever concert at Mercedes-Benz Stadium didn't go over very well with a lot of fans. Those who went to see Garth Brooks in October complained of sound issues, among other things.

Officials with the stadium have been working since then to fix everything.

Monday, Channel 2's Craig Lucie got a tour of the stadium to see the changes they've made and learned they can now make audio changes from any seat in the stadium to make it sound really good.

The Chief Digital Officer at the stadium, Jared Miller, led the tour.

“Anytime you don’t have the direct level sight means you get indirect sound means reverberation more echo,” said Miller.

Miller said they have added hundreds more speakers inside their suites.

“If you look up, two additional speakers now in suite seating areas,” said Miller.

If you’re not in the suite though, they’ve adjusted speakers near the halo board.

“There’s eight clusters of primary speaker arrays around halo that serve halo board itself,” said Miller.

You may even spot an audio engineer sitting next to you.

“We have equipped our audio team with iPads to be able to roam throughout the stadium to adjust those levels by section as they walk around to compensate right audio level relative to crowd noise,” said Miller.
