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.

Seattle currently has a great organization, team, and QBOTF.
The Chiefs have a tradition of losing to overcome. Arrowheard will not be anywhere near as loud as Seattle unless they pull some type of miracle season. |

Give the fans something to cheer about and getting loud won’t be a problem.

Such negativity in this thread-lol It is for charity and a good cause. Maybe we won't break the record but at least it is something positive for the team and city.

I think it should be against the Faders in Oct. How sweet to reclaim what is ours against them. This is a must win game- they have owned us at home. But lots of dressed up fader fans. The Chargers have the least amount of fans that come to Terrorhead- so I image it will be against them in Nov. I hope Chiefs Planet decides to get behind this. You guys wanted to SAVE OUR CHIEFS!! Now you are going to let the Seahags steal the title and not even fight for it?? |

With great pride and honor on behalf of Terrorhead Returns founders; Charlie Edrington, Tim VanderPol, Connie Jo Gillespie, Ty Rowton, and Joshua Boothe...we announce to Chiefs Kingdom fan base this morning:
Guinness Book of World Records has officially given us final approval to compete for the record of, "Loudest crowd roar at a sports stadium." They have stated the record we must beat is that of 131.7 decibels to claim the title as the loudest. We would like once again to express our gratitude to each member of Terrorhead Returns for their support and loyalty to our mission. Special gratitude once again to Michael Scheuerman, founder of Chiefs Coalition, for generously paying the application expedition fee Guinness required to speed the process of final approval. It's on Chiefs fans!! Get your loudest screaming voice and seat banging hands ready! Discussions are currently taking place as to which home game we will attempt to set a new Guinness world record. Once that game has been decided upon, which will be soon, we will announce it here at Terrorhead first. GO CHIEFS FANS!!! |

I'd like to see the Chiefs give me a reason to cheer by results on the field rather than f fake fan driven attempt to recreate the 90s.
It's not happening like that again. The crowd has changed too much. Now you're as likely to be asked to sit down and stop yelling so much by other fans as to be drown out by them. |

I was that that game. And yes one of the loudest, if not the loudest game, I have ever been too at Arrowhead.

The group is selling shirts to raise money for local charities, it is something positive to talk about concerning the Chiefs- much better than banners and player suicides- and it will bring National attention to our team and fans. |

Time restore Terrorhead to its former glory- make teams dread coming here like they used to. Our Home winning % was second only to San Fran in the 90's. |
