Chiefs Group of Chiefs fans wants to turn up volume at Arrowhead - Page 20

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.

The second we broke they were whining and complaining and signing up for another go at it.

We pushed it close to hearing loss level- I don't think they can beat it.

Well, Clemson is trying to beat it this weekend, so Guinness is getting what it wants.

Yep it is turning into a Fad- a $3500 fad-lol

We don't have anything else to prove. No matter if we lose the title- Arrowhead is still the Best place to see a game. They have done so much to make it fun there.

My daughter came back from college to see the game- her first since she was little and I took her to games. What a great day to come Home.

Of course not. Nobody ever said the Chiefs should just leave their defense on the sideline because the crowd will win the game.

It's the combination of an attacking defense and the inability to communicate with your team that makes the difference...and it does make a difference.

Dug up this thread rather then making a new one.

Looks like Chiefs fans are gonna attempt another noise record on MNF Sept 29 against the Patriots.

Going to be hard to do with 35% of the stadium being Pats fans.

Can't this die already?

We all know Arrowhead can be loud and intimidating when the Chiefs are worth a shit. The only competition we have in this regard is Seattle. They just won a SB. I don't really care if we are or can be louder, they just won the ****ing SB.

IMHO, this is the problem! Chiefs fans are more concerned about a noise record then they are about the play on the field. "I don't care what the chiefs do as long as we're the LOUDEST AND PROUDEST!!"

Dude, I just hammered a twelver of Steel Reserve in the parking lot. I'm treating myself to one nice Jack and Coke before kickoff and then I'm gonna get so ****ing loud I might lose control of my bowels from time to time.

SCREAM UNTIL YOU PISS YOURSELF BABY

I came here to break the noise record and beat some parking lot ass, and I've about lost my voice...

Yep. Manufactured noise just isn't the same thing. Screw the record. When this team is playing their asses off, the fans are screaming their asses off.
