Chiefs Group of Chiefs fans wants to turn up volume at Arrowhead - Page 26

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's thousands of former 'scream yourslef hoarse' fans out there that have just said '**** it', and stopped going. rightfully so, given the teams performance and the birth of cheap home theater experiences.

Or they were priced out and replaced by people who just want to get drunk and don't actually give a shit.

I still enjoy the day when I go to Arrowhead. I just wish all the idiots around me did it the same way.

You all are completely entitled to your opinions about me or for Guinness. As a Chiefs fan I hope Arrowhead reaches levels we have never heard on MNF against NE and their qb Marcia Brady and his bunch. As a fan that hasn't missed a game at Arrowhead since 1992, I so crave this. We are an enormous factor to opposing teams especially QB's. I was there all times Elway cried to refs. When Ryan Leaf's hot start came crashing down at Arrowhead and a career took 180 degree turn. And last year was awesome when players feed off our energy and made Pryor cry from all sacks and noise. I honestly don't care much about Guinness, its a business and all about money. But if it lights fire in new fans or reenergizes fire in old fans hearts, to make Arrowhead magical place that many of us have experienced on many occasions then so be it! And I like homeless Factor, nice job lmao. Yes I don't mind cause I personally help thousands of homeless, disabled kids, kids with illnesses cancer,etc, visit hospitals, schools, handicapped facilities and rest homes. None of these amazing, inspiring people call me Homeless Factor but hey everyone is entitled to their own opinion!!!!! So to the ship on your own beliefs!!!
