Great in theory if the surounding area is rock , stone and/or concrete as in a stadium .
In reality , mother nature has supplied trees , bushes , shrubbery and even weeds , all of which act as a sound deadener much like the difference in a room with wall to wall carpet verses a room with hardwood floors. The carpeted room will be quieter and have less echo
So lets stop the clearing of land for McMansions
