It would be interesting to see the numbers on a hearing conservation program at place like.....Seachick Central. The numbers would be high but considering that they only play 8 regular season games plus a playoff game or two it's very unlikely it would require mandated hearing protection. Is it a good idea for a fan or stadium worker to wear plugs...sure.
