Speakers In Front Of Screen?

Hi there!! I went to one of the LA shows, and I of course had the time of my life. The only downer of the night was that the speakers were blocking the screen. I expect stuff like that when you’re on the very far side (like in obstructed view areas), but it caught me by surprise in section 108 which was in the dead center of the arena (like where the middle of the basketball court would be). And from what I could tell, this was an issue for about half the sections at the forum. 

Is this something specific to the way the forum had the speakers set up, or have people had this experience in Vegas and SF? I’m hoping to make it to one other city before the tour ends and just want to set my expectations right

No, I saw her in Vegas in 208 I think and had the same issue... I wonder if there is a section where it isn't?

i tried to look at the bright side that it forced me to look at her the entire time, but it is kinda a bummer for a show that is designed to be almost like a long movie. you can’t see any of the act titles, her face close up, the sandbox choreography, her writing before the show, or really any of the stuff on the screen that they put so much work into. still had the time of my life!! just wasn’t expecting that, and it’s a bit frustrating they didn’t think of that when deciding on speaker placement (or think to add side screens like most arena tours)

I was in t he lower level for one show and the screens weren’t blocked. The speakers and the ring of lights were above the screen for me. 
 

I was in the lower row of nosebleeds for a second show and the speakers blocked a lot. The older ladies next to me couldn’t make out what the name of the acts were.
