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.

I can see you made up your mind not to get SOC involved and that is your choice. You have a chance to finish the job you started. You could be a big asset and share what you learned. It is going to help some charities as well. I think the fans should come together and get behind this- but if you want to wait and see if they win first- good luck with that. |

I hope they don't try to do this at the Cowboys game.
Cowboys fans travel well.

So ha they kept status quo with the front office and fans stayed away, they wouldn't be real fans?
I didnt know you had to take a communistic approach with your favorite sports teams to be a real fan. |

I picked Faders game. Would love to set the record while taking back our home field advantage from them. They have owned us at home. But there again-lots of fader fans. They said Chargers have the least amount? |

Like it's been said over and over in this thread, win games, fans show up.
Same as in every other sport. |

Because we are the hero Chiefs fans deserve, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll be critical of them. Because they can take it. We are a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight. |

All of us that want to restore Arrowhead are all Homers, idiots, "real fans" Alexsexuals, little chiefys, dumbasses, methheads and Communist! If you can think of more names to call fans that miss our team- just add them on the list-lol |

PS. Terrorhead is a ****ing reeruned ass name. I hate using that word too.... that is how ****ing reeruned it is.
It can't return if it has never been. No one, until Ty thought up of it in a drunken stuper, ever called it Terrorhead. |

Sorry but I have been loving all the Positive vibes- the pics of people's kids at the games, seeing all the die hards with the Chiefs tatoos all over them, their whole basements in chiefs gear- getting excited about the team and helping the community. But I am sure they are happy SOC will come out of retirement to protect them-lol I will drink a beer at the game in honor of all you Dark Knights- when I am helping set the record and having fun at the game-lol |

Yep not a fan of the name- I will give you that-lol and yes I agree- hate it. X Factor should have picked a better name- but it is what it is.
