Ballpark music

OK, so I just arrived at Plainsman Park for tonight’s Auburn-Florida game. And while the Gators are taking infield, the Plainsman Park speakers are BLASTING…“Ray of Light,“ by Madonna. And I mean blasting. I can hardly hear myself think.

My question is, who decided “Ray of Light” was the perfect tune for an afternoon at the ballpark? Was “Like a Virgin” not available? Can’t we have some common-sense limits on what exactly is played during sporting events?

Note: We go from waaaay outside the box (Madonna) to the most cliche ballpark song ever: “Cheap Seats,“ by Alabama. Good times.
