Chiefs Group of Chiefs fans wants to turn up volume at Arrowhead - Page 24

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.

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

Even then, it took an actual good play to break the record.

Cheering for the sake of some glee club pep rally is so ****ing contrived.

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"

From last year - "But there's one more big financial hurdle, Rowton says, and that's getting a Guinness official here from England, something the group has been told will cost at least $7,500."

I dont have a problem with being a "superfan" but for Gods sake get a new outfit... Ronald McDonald has more dignity than this guy.

stevieray · 08-18-2014, 04:20 PM

the whole thing is just silly.

arrowhead of the day won't b e back until they win a playoff game.

social event. sad but true.

MNF will be pretty freaking loud-despite whatever our record will be. I doubt there will be more Pats fans than there were fader fans the last go around either.

They need to pass out thunder sticks and noise makers like the seahags did when they supposedly reclaimed it.

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.

Yeah. I am good with all of that. Who wouldn't be? The dude can dress like a super hero if he wants, but there's no reason to act all douchey about it.

Halfcan · 08-18-2014, 04:58 PM

Are they doing it for the spirit of Arrowhead or for the attention this time around?

I mean we stomped the Faders and beat the record last time-can it be any better than that? Brady will make it quiet if he picks the D apart.

**Bugeater** · 08-18-2014, 04:59 PM

Gonna be pretty tough to get the crowd fired up while Brady is carving up our secondary.

You're onto something here. I'm not sure I mind the "dress zany for your team" people. If that's your thing, go for it.

What makes him particularly annoying is there is nothing clever or unique about his schtick. You described it perfectly. A homeless man that found a bag of old chiefs stuff and decided to wear it all at once. Give him a shopping cart and the outfit is complete.

Homeless Factor.
