Fyre Wood (aka ME) replies
What if the stands are just slightly above the hoops for the top 
boxes? Would it be just a tad nicer to be a little *above* the action 
instead of just "face on" with it? Perhaps maybe 10 feet higher at 
the most so that you could see across the entire Quidditch Pitch.

Fyre replies once again:
Perhaps the bushes prevented everyone inside the maze from hearing 
the commentary. Spells could have been put around the exterior to 
keep the sound out and the concentration in.

Nothing would put more pressure on the contestants in the Quad-wizard 
tournament like hearing how far ahead or behind the others were.

Neville would have liked it =)

Fyre Wood:
Of course, except that it has to have some crazy name for it. 
Think "Grandpa Bob's Extra Popper Popcorn" or "Butter Blast--the 
Popcorn that has an *explosive* butter taste in your mouth."

I think this is why JKR writes the books and not me =)
