For a very long time it was little more than a parking lot with construction barriers. Many of us knew nothing about an outdoor music venue coming.
Fewer still were told when they bought, that there would be a stream of outdoor live bands 4-5 nights a week, 3-4 hrs non stop ea of those evenings, blasting out music at volume 11+, some 200 ft from some peoples homes.

Our south end home was near Sawgrass, yet blocks away. Far enough away you'd think it would not have been an issue...
The sound was horribly loud when it first kicked off. Loud enough one could hear it inside the closed up house. Using the lanai or being outside for an nice evening conversation was unpleasant & disruptive.

There may be a few exceptions, and while we didn't officially complain, every single neighbor we talked to about it, felt the same. So apparently enough of the residence that actually live near it (unlike yourself it seems), thought it was also too loud, even the ones that knew & welcomed its arrival & opening.
Sorry but you are wrong. We knew about the music at sawgrass at least a year before sawgrass was completed, way before st Catherine was built out.
