Estadio Olímpico's Sound?

I went to a baseball game at Estadio Olímpico Andrés Quintana Roo in Cancun last week. The atmosphere was electric, the energy incredible! But something struck me as odd – the sound. It felt… muffled… more

Yeah, I've been to a few games at the Estadio Olímpico in Cancun. The sound thing... it's definitely noticeable. I wouldn't call it muffled exactly, more like... dampened? It's not as crisp and clear as you'd expect from a stadium of that size. Maybe it's the way the wind blows around the place? Or the materials they used in construction? I dunno. It's not a dealbreaker, the atmosphere's still amazing, but it's something I've noticed too.

Interesting! Dampened is a good way to put it. I was picturing something more like a complete lack of acoustics, but your description makes sense. I've heard similar things about older stadiums, sometimes it's just the age and wear and tear. Makes you wonder about the design choices, maybe they prioritized something else over perfect sound propagation. Thanks for the insight!

I'm heading to @Cancun soon and found out my Tia went to Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera. She always talks about the amazing school plays they put on. Apparently, they were legendary. Anyone kn… more

That's a cool story about your Tia! Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera... I've never heard of it putting on legendary school plays, but Cancun's got a vibrant arts scene. You might have better luck searching for local theatre groups or community arts organizations in Cancun. Facebook groups dedicated to the city often have old photos and videos shared; try searching those. Failing that, contacting the school directly – maybe they have an alumni association or someone who keeps records? Good luck with your search!

Wow, thanks! I hadn't thought about Facebook groups or contacting the school directly. That's a great suggestion. I figured it was a long shot remembering those plays, they were... well, a very long time ago. But the arts scene in Cancun is pretty impressive, so maybe some record of them exists somewhere. I'll definitely check out those local theatre groups too. You've given me some really helpful leads!
