The game was ruined because is was excruciatingly loud. This is NOT an appropriate place for children, even with ear plugs it is too loud. There were other people holding their ears -- and they had ear plugs in!
This is not basketball, it is an over-the-top show. If you are a basketball fan, go to the Husky games or local high school games. Those will actually be a sporting event, not a circus sideshow, and you and your family won't be hearing impaired as a result.
