A few weeks ago we proposed a throwback night at Dodger Stadium: no pre-recorded music, just the P.A. announcer and Nancy Bea Hefley's organ music. But we wondered, were we alone in this wish?
Not entirely. ESPN's Page 2 is running a poll regarding fans' noise level preferences at games (participate here), and the following results are telling:
1) Would you like to attend a major league game where the only noise is a P.A. announcer?58.9% Yes
41.1% No
2) What do you think of song clips used to introduce a batter?
40.4% Like it
37.0% Doesn't bother me, but I'd rather talk to my friends
22.6% Don't like it
3) What do you think of music that is blared throughout a major league game?
75.4% Stop, please
24.6% Keep it coming, baseball needs a little more energy
[...]Total Votes: 14,061
To summarize: Most people don't mind the P.A. announcer. Most people would rather not hear canned player introduction music. And most people don't like canned music between innings.
We rest our case.

This is what's known as a biased question.
