From a blogger on the Denver Post:
Oreo here with his own #1: This guy is a whiner that would find a reason to complain if somebody gave him a million dollars. While the fireworks were a bit startling (Michelle Obama jumped) what are they supposed to do? Yell "OK EVERYBODY!!! HERE COMES THE FIREWORKS?" Idiot.5. They did not use the stadium’s sound system; all sound came from speakers placed on the floor of the stadium. They weren’t loud enough, and this made it hard to hear the speakers over all the cheering.
4. The fireworks. They came without warning and startled a lot of people sitting in the top rows of level 5 (like me). They also filled the stadium with smoke and released loads of carbon into the atmosphere.
3. Stevie Wonder gave a lame performance. And Joe Biden’s speech was dull.
2. The stadium did not fill up. There were still plenty of seats left in level 5. You can see them in this picture I took in the middle of Obama’s speech:
1. They did not serve beer during the event. I think this was an affront to the working men and women (many of whom are union members) who make and transport the beer.

And those empty seats were likely people who got OUT of their seats and tried to stand closer.

In terms of the impact of fireworks on climate change, I'm a chemical physicist, and I'm scratching my head. Almost all burning, including fireworks, releases some carbon dioxide. And the manufacture and transport of fireworks will of course also contribute globally. But the idea that they "released loads of carbon into the atmosphere?" I'm pretty sure that the impact was less than just keeping one of the light stanchions lit for the duration of the event.
