Chiefs Group of Chiefs fans wants to turn up volume at Arrowhead - Page 23

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.

Why should a Chief fan make fun of, ridicule other Chief fans for getting excited about supporting the Chiefs? WTF?

that being said this loudest stadium record is BS.

Because this noise record thing is just idiocy.

Arrowhead had a home field advantage in the 90s because tickets were cheaper, people were more well off than they are now so the stadium was legitimately packed and those who were showing up were out-and-out FOOTBALL blue collar fans who knew to be loud for entire defensive stands and shut up on offense.

Tickets are too expensive and we're in an economic depression so you can't pack the stadium the same way. Most people now are yuppies / children of yuppies who don't know jack about the sport outside of "team that scores the most points wins" who think that being loud = screaming like a maniac at arbitrary points in the game rather than at a sustained loud as **** level for entire opposing offensive possessions.

The Arrowhead of the 90s is DEAD and is never coming back despite the best efforts of uber-fans like X-Factor.

I don't think anyone has a problem with that. I think it's just him. He stopped by our tailgate a few years ago and acted like he was some sort of A list celebrity. He really came off like a douche. It was pretty ridiculous.

And that's the long time Chief fans fault? Your blaming X-Factor and others for ticket prices?

Ugh. Just...ugh.

WakkaWakka · 08-18-2014, 03:03 PM

Can't believe they paid GWR to come back out again. I believe it's $100 for them to come out every time. This shit is just gonna keep going and going because GWR is getting money and publicity for it. Arrowhead will win it again by a tenth of a point, then seahawks fans will do it again. Then again, seahawks just won a MFing Super Bowl so their fans may just say "**** it let em have it, it's the only thing of relevancy they're gonna win anyways"

Absolutely not. It's the Hunt family's fault for mismanaging the team from 1998 onward. The Herm era washed out what was left of the diehards fans from the Marty era because they'd rightfully had enough of the bullshit of retread quarterbacks and coaches.

Has someone told him that Rison left the building? Long ago?

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion of individuals.

Look back through this thread and recent comments. I always had all kind of Chief fans at my tailgates. Long timers, n00bs, Planeteers, Coalition, Warpaint, "yuppies", drunks, tetotalers, different races, economic backgrounds etc.etc.

I don't think anyone should be dictating what a Chief fan looks like, what they should wear or how they should verbalize their passion for being a Chiefs fan. If your a Chiefs fan, your welcome to cheer right along with me.

And I don't care about who fellow chiefs' fans are.. outside of mouthbreathing morons who though Pioli was a great GM because he had his dick to the fire and drafted Berry...

My point is XFactor's goal to win this stupid noise record is incredibly misguided because it relies solely on the premise that Chiefs' fans are the best in supporting their team to the point it actually influences games by virtue of Arrowhead's relatively recent history of the 90s... When the demographics of who actually goes to games is almost entirely different.

jspchief · 08-18-2014, 03:25 PM

The entire thing is laughably phony and it's only fitting that a dumbass "superfan" would be the ringleader.

Sweet Daddy Hate · 08-18-2014, 03:27 PM

Will there be meth?

teedubya · 08-18-2014, 03:29 PM

By the time the Chiefs play the Patriots, we will most likely be 1-2.

Last year, it was easy to get up because we were winning... I doubt we can get that loud this year.
