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.

There was a Large group of fans that didn't agree with SOC either- but it needed to be done. If you are right and they suck this year like everyone on here thinks- this whole thing will be for nothing. Chiefs have to hold up their end- I completely agree. |

They don't need a kickstart to get fans out there, thats the stupidest shit you've said. Come out and show you're competent in the preseason and win.

You keep bringing up charities. I don't give a flying **** about charities that this will somehow support. SOC donated over $1k to the Boys and Girls Clubs of KC so let's not talk about charities. It doesn't factor into this in the least. I don't care how Ty cheers for this team. I honestly don't get the Cheesehead but a bunch of people paint their face... hell, so have I. You missed the point. None of the times that Arrowhead went over 116db did we need a cheerleader to make it happen. That is the difference here. Then, it was real. Now, there has to be a god damned movement just to get people there and it is being billed as... Guiness allowing us an opportunity to get the record. Seriously... who the flying **** cares about whether Arrowhead is 115db or 125db? They put a product on the field worth losing our voice over and I guarantee you that every last mother ****er on this board would give his/her voice willingly. Until then... this is a stunt and nothing more. |

Like I said- I thought we already had the record for the NFL- but I guess it was not official? I just want to see Terrorhead rocking again. If a group of fans want to go for it to help restore Arrowhead and support the team- who cares? Just stay in the shadows Dark Knight- we will call you if we need you again. |

They did go 2-14 last year while securing the #1 overall pick. It's more natural to think they will be bad than good.
