Group of Chiefs fans wants to turn up volume at Arrowhead
Loudest stadium in Seattle? Not if a group of Chiefs fans has anything to say about it.
Congregating in a newly formed Facebook group dubbed Terrorhead Returns, the fast-growing cadre of red-and-yellow-clad fans is hoping to counter a group of Seahawks backers who are attempting to get CenturyLink Field into the Guinness Book of Records as the loudest stadium on Earth. Quoting from the Terrorhead Returns page: “We have submitted an application with Guiness (sic) World Book and will request the permission from the Kansas City Chiefs and the NFL to be given a fair chance to put the record where it is truly deserved. Join in Chiefs Fans! GO CHIEFS!!!” So far, the Seattle contingent, which goes by the handle “Volume 12” (an homage to the team’s “12th Man” legacy of fan support), is a step ahead of KC’s. According to a post on NFL.com, the Seattle group announced on its own Facebook page that its application to have the decibels measured at the Seahawks’ Sept. 15 Sunday Night Football showdown with the San Francisco 49ers has formally been accepted by Guinness. The official entry would be dubbed “loudest crowd roar at a sports stadium.” A website in Seattle, SeattlePI.com, reports that the current record is held by the Ali Sami Yen Sport Complex Turk Telekom Arena in Istanbul, Turkey. The decibels measured that day? An ear-splitting 131.76, or slightly louder than the sound of an airliner at takeoff. The Turkish fans were cheering on a soccer match played by Galatasaray S.K. Size of the venue could factor into Seattle’s Sept. 15 bid: NFL.com reports that the highest decibels recorded at the so-called CLink peaked at 112, but notes that the Seahawks’ home digs hold 67,000, or 14,000more than the Turkish stadium. If size matters, and if Terrorhead Returns can get a date with Guinness — and if Chiefs fans can fill it to capacity — Arrowhead could play a huge factor in a record bid. The venerable Truman Sports Complex venue holds 79,451, or more than 12,000 more than CenturyLink Field. But Terrorhead Returns, though just launched Friday, has ground to make up in terms of likes on its Facebook page. As of 8 p.m. Tuesday, it had 1,830 members compared with 6,263 likes for Volume 12.

So it doesn't matter what the Chiefs do, in regards to the front office, their own employees, players, moves they make for players etc..., you aren't a fan if you don't fully support them?

THAT is the problem I have with this whole thing. It is MANUFACTURED. The noise in Arrowhead back in the day came from the hearts and souls of the people in the stands. It was organic. It was real. What you guys are doing? That is processed cheese in a can. |

I love paying about 200$ bucks to see the Chiefs get their shit kicked in, it's been a great 4 years. I'm a real fan.

The record itself would be awesome- I hate the Seahags- but the Main objective is to get the fans back in the stands and get the Home field advantage back. If it takes chasing a record which is ours anyways- so be it. It is a win win- with the Charities that will benefit. Its cool-I tried. |

Thats the problem man, it shouldn't or won't take trying to break some record in terms of noise to get the fans back in the stands.
Show that you're a competent organization and people will come back. |

And no I don't shave my head like X factor but who are you to judge how he cheers his team? He has also done a lot of charity work with kids in the past, taking pictures with the kids out there and all in all been a pretty postive influence. |

The fact that you think it takes breaking a record to get fans to come to games should tell you all you need to know.
