Chiefs Group of Chiefs fans wants to turn up volume at Arrowhead - Page 29

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.

Chiefs fans have helped me ensure that everything is covered for these angels, free tickets,parking, free food and drinks, so many gifts for kids and sitting in my section with me at game. Chiefs have donated presents and helped accommodate kids and families with handicapped seating.

That's pretty awesome from a corporate citizenship standpoint.

X-FACTOR does this shit all the time. He out talking to kids at schools. Visiting kids in hospitals. Taking them to games. Going to and or organizing charity fundraisers. So what if he wears a spandex costume? Good outweighs the bad.

The tailgating is still my fav. I love KC wolf and the whole game day expierence-but it feels hollow out there now. Hard to explain-but the crowd is texting, facebooking and checking stats for fantasy football more than supporting the team.

The crowd waits for a big play to cheer now instead of being the loudest stadium and creating Big plays due to the noise like it used to. It used to be so loud you could feel it pounding into your chest. You would scream your loudest and couldn't even hear it. Now it is hard to tell when the offense is on the field or the defense.

Props to you for hanging in there this whole time. I got season tickets DT's rookie year- they were $24 a game for great seats and parking was $10.00 beers were $5.00 for the large. It is hard for me to justify paying the prices now. To take my family to one game-used to pay for the whole season worth of fun. We had a lot of great times!

I hope you guys are successful again- the Raider game was a blast and probably the closest it has been to the DT years for a long time. Thanks for all you do for the team and the community and keep up the good work!!

This has happened to so,so many amazing fans over the years. I totally understand that. DT is tattooed on my heart and his oldest son Derrion are best friends now. He talks about carrying on his dad's legacy all the time. I feel same way when It comes to fans. I want my 2 kids to grow up knowing just how special Arrowhead is!!!

Exactly brother, I really don't mind what others think of me. I know kids absolutely adore me as much as I do them. Forever I didn't understand the importance of being a role model to kids. I totally understand that first and foremost with my own 2 kids but also with thousands upon thousands I met every year. This has been by far my biggest motivator to help me stay away from cocaine and alcohol.

Well, Monday should be interesting. The win vs. Miami should revitalize the fanbase. I just hope Brady doesn't sneak in a couple quick TDs on our secondary.

I honestly don't care about the record but I do care that Arrowhead is loud.
