The thing that always crushes me compared to Riverfront is just how hard it is to really get that stadium rocking loud.  Maybe it's just memory and perception, but on a windy day especially, it just feels like the sound all slips up and out of the stadium, and not down onto the field, which is the one thing I thought Riverfront did well (as do stadiums like Seattle's).

Part of that is the design of the stadium.
Riverfront was a bowl, so sound bounced all around, creating a louder experience.
PBS is essentially a canyon. Some sound bounces from one sideline to the other, but the openness of the endzones allows sound to escape easily.
