According to a report from SFGate.com, AT&T Park is working hard to make sure neighboring residents aren't again subjected to unwanted noise when Metallica headlines CBS Radio’s The Night Before, a one-of-a-kind concert experience, the evening prior to Super Bowl 50 on Saturday, February 6th.

After Beyonce and Jay Z held their On the Run tour in San Francisco in August 2014, many locals complained that the noise level was far too loud, saying that they could hear music from the stadium as far as 3 miles away.

"You could hear every word," Bernal Heights resident Miranda Tsang told SFGate following the performance. "I started making a set list. I would have liked to have gone to sleep, but I had my own little personal concert in my room."

The San Francisco Giants staff heard the criticism loud and clear. 

"Those complaints have been decreasing with every show," Sara Hunt, vice president of Giants Enterprises tells SFGATE. Since the initial grievances were voiced in 2014, the organization has been working with specialists to improve the problem of "noise pollution" drifting outside the stadium.

AT&T Park is strictly observing the city's standing 11 p.m. noise ordinance with every concert event, and is making internal upgrades regarding speaker placement and volume perception.

Speaking with Bay Area rock station 107.7 The Bone’s Lamont And Tonelli Show (see video below), Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich talks about the upcoming show:

"It's sort of part of the (Super Bowl) weekend. This is year three now. They have a show called The Night Before. A couple of years ago, it started in New York with the Chili Peppers playing. Last year, they had a bunch of country acts in Arizona, and this year… drum roll, please, it's your hometown boys Metallica.”
