Indoor/Retractable Roof Football Stadium In an indoor stadium, the problems found in an arena are aggravated. Because the distances involved are greater (up to 230 feet), the time arrival differences are greater while the relative levels remain the same. Arrivals coming in from adjacent arrays are more likely to be perceived as echoes and further degrade speech intelligibility. Reverberation times are typically longer as well.

Indoor/Retractable Roof Football Stadium
In an indoor stadium, the problems found in an arena are aggravated. Because the distances
involved are greater (up to 230 feet), the time arrival differences are greater while the relative
levels remain the same. Arrivals coming in from adjacent arrays are more likely to be
perceived as echoes and further degrade speech intelligibility. Reverberation times are
typically longer as well.
