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.

I can't imagine it wouldn't set the record. The last monday night football game was so ****ing loud it was crazy. If they hand out towels again forget about it. I would imagine this is in the bag

Miss seeing you at the tailgates but the beach is almost as good as a tailgate at Arrowhead on game day. I'm all for bringing back the volume that we shared in the 90's and early 2000's. Any person cheering for the Chiefs is okay in my book. But, the loudest stadium record is not the best avenue to renew the passion. It's artificial. The passion needs to come from a genuine place in the Chief fan, not to beat some superficial record. Just my two cents.

I used to give Ty, Tie, Tige a lot of shit too.
But I have learned that: He's a nice guy that enjoys what he does. I will never take issue with that. Popular choice or not. You GO Ty, Tie, Tige!!! |

I just think that with a little effort he could come up with a better looking outfit... theres no need to champion a cause that doesnt exist, Laz. He might actually get on tv once in a while and increase his profile, thus possibly enabling him to raise more money for charity, if he did. |
