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.

It's going to be comical when they try to set this record with 15k empty seats.
Arrowhead hasn't been "Arrowhead" in a decade. And with the wine and cheese crowd taking over, the deafening days of the 90's will likely never return. |

And yes I agree when they expanded the suites-that sucked- they sit inside and watch it on tv- which makes No sense to me- but hey its thier money. Maybe when they hear how freakin loud it is outside their precious suite doors- they might actually come out and join us at the Game. |

First home playoff game in 7 years? Tons of empty seats. Opening night on MNF against a division rival? A lot of empty seats. There aren't enough homers left to spend money on this team until it shows it can actually compete against the best of the best regularly. I don't think there's been a legitimate sellout (asses in seats, not tickets sold, PR-wank bullshit) since Thanksgiving Night, 2006. |

Really- we have a completly new team. Oh boo F N hoo we didn't draft Geno- but we still got the best QB out there. Other than that- the Chiefs have done just about everything possible to compete for a title this year. No wonder when you put in Chiefs planet in the search engines- the next story is about a player killing himself (Belcher) this is where hope goes to die-lol |

I think when the media gets ahold of this- it will sell out- plus standing room. This city misses the Chiefs. |

The reason arrowhead was what it was because the chiefs won games against good teams. You want sell outs? Win games.
