LOL

Ok sparky.

This thread is amazing! LMAO

Seahags considering using one of their 3 attempts at the record- before the game even starts. They want the record so bad they are going to "manufacture" sound- not even in a game time setting. ROFL

When we set it in the 90's I couldn't even talk for a week after the games. :shake:

I'm gassy today, and I blame this thread!

I just don't understand how the people saying they won't cheer until the team is winning don't seem to get the fact that a stadium full of cheering fans will help the team win.

Stubbornness at its finest.

So I take it you haven't missed a home game the last 6 years?

Tylenol PM

So if Arrowhead being how it was in the 90's wasn't about the team winning, but was about the fans, why did it change? If it was about the fans and had nothing to do with winning, it should still be the same as it always has.

Wow. Only 70,000 to go.

I really don't want to try to beat a decibel record we haven't come within 10 (maybe more) decibels of ever reaching. Hell, some were laughing in the Seahawks thread that there was no way they'd reach 130.

We don't need to beat our ****ing chests.

That tends to happen when the fans of this team are treated with a mild form of contempt for years on end.

You're wildly overestimating the effect of crowd noise on an NFL game.

I got my season tix in 2010 and I've been to every game since. I also often give my extra ticket(s) away to random people on this forum.

It's much easier for Seattle's fan base to be very loud right now. They're enthusiastic because their team is successful and very fun to watch right now. The Chiefs have sucked for a decade or more.

I disagree. There are plenty of other more important factors, obviously, but it's definitely a big help. It's not estimate. We've all seen it first hand.

The game is about moments. We've all seen those moments where a single bad play can drastically swing a game and the change the outcome. We saw it first hand many times through the 90s when our home field advantage was considered one of, if not the best in the league. Our crowd could help to cause confusion on the opposing sideline, in their huddle, at the line of scrimmage, and during the play itself. Those moments caused mistakes which led to even bigger moments like turnovers, sacks, etc.

Teams would come here worried about the crowd. They knew that if they let the Chiefs hit a big play or two early, or if they couldn't strike early to keep that crowd quiet, it was going to be a very rough afternoon for them. Then, when it actually starts to happen and they can't hear the guy next to them talk...that's a big advantage for the home team, and again, it leads to mistakes, which leads to home wins.

We all say it all the time...you gotta win your home games. If you can just win your home games you've got a shot because then you just have to win even 2 or 3 on the road to have a shot at the end. There's a reason the teams of the 90s went to the playoffs 7 times. They won their home games, and Arrowhead was a big part of that.

Just something else to add to my comments on here, a little story about the reason I got my season tix in 2010.

Things had been rough for awhile, of course, but we were getting a new stadium, a new regime, a new start. I knew we were opening up on Monday night against the Chargers, so I knew the stadium would be rockin for that game, which as many of you know, it indeed was (even though there were still quite a few empty seats).

I had this glorious idea in my mind that if we could start a snow ball effect on that night...come out with a big win where the crowd was really into it...it could spring board a new string of Chiefs home wins, which would lead to playoff appearances, which would lead to sellout games and then I wouldn't be able to get tix...just like the 90s.

Of course I thought I was a genius as that season carried on and we went 7-1 at home. Each week the crowd was into it, and the team was playing well. The two were going hand in hand, and it resulted in a home playoff game. Unfortunately, the crowds (and Chiefs fans everywhere) where also discovering that we had some rather large weaknesses on our roster (Casshole) and instead of the glorious years I was hoping for after that we all got to experience the Pioli disaster.

This obviously drove fans away to the point of SOC and the like. Now THAT would have been a bad time to try something like this.

Instead, though, we now have another new, exciting regime. That's something to start with. This could be another springboard type of situation where maybe if they do this at the opener and the fans get to experience a nice, loud, emotional game at home, and it results in a win, they'll continue to come back to experience the natural raw emotion week after week. The players feed off of it, the opponents begin to fear it again, etc.

I've been to big concerts / festivals, UFC events, air shows with Harriers hovering directly in front of me, games at other stadiums on big nights...none of it compares to Arrowhead stadium at its best.

Again, I think it would be great to do this not so much for the record, but to re-train the fans. The game that gets picked to do this, I think the moments they should try to break it are any time the opposing team has the ball. But not just when they have the ball...like somebody mentioned earlier, we need to do it during their huddle, as the walk up to the line, and through the start of the play. That WILL result in confusion on their end and COULD result in a big turnover at a key point to help win the game.

Terrorhead?

http://kissingsuzykolber.uproxx.com/...9/facepalm.gif

The name is unfortunate, but the concept is terrorific! ;)

Corporations pretty much killed the old Arrowhead magic

Its a great name the franchise has been terrorising the fans for years.

The concept is ****ing ridiculous as well.

Put a good team on the field, and the rest will take care of itself.

How pathetic is is to try to manufacture noise for a "title" we haven't earned in over a decade?

I can see it's pointless to try and present reasonable arguments to people on here. You don't even argue back, you just keep repeating the same stuff that I provide logical rebuttal for.

To be honest, HC, I don't think the group organizing this would want SOC involved at all. Connie in particular was very vocal against SOC. We already know that DEB wouldn't want it.

SOC doesn't need good press, bad press or any press at this point. They have done their job.

Also, you are calling people out for calling you names and you are just doing the same in return. Take the high road dude.

Who the hell said that? People go to the game and they cheer. You have been to Arrowhead haven't you? it may not be the 90s anymore but the fans cheer their asses off. Can't do anything about the wine and cheese crowd infesting the stadium though.

This is an embarrassment of an idea for Chiefs fans, the Chiefs, and Kansas City. In it's loudest times during the '90's the crowds did get close to the record. They had audio guys there measuring at big games...Prime Time, Raiders, Broncos, 49ers, NFC Super Bowl teams. This isn't going to happen and the media will have another "fail" to hang on this team and city.

And BTW...the design of Arrowhead doesn't lend itself to work...simple physics.

The first step is a full stadium. If we could just do that for one game, then it would indeed be up to the Chiefs to provide those special moments for all of those people to pump out their raw emotion and spike the decibel level.

If the stadium isn't full, though, you're right. No shot.

I'm with you all as far as the manufactured part of it won't work for breaking the record. Even if the place was full and they said, ok now, everybody get loud! That won't do it. To break the record it's going to have to be one of those natural moments when the energy just spills out of people, but when those moments occur and the stadium is only half full the magic can't happen.

No self-respecting homeless man would wear that shit.

ROFL

Steal our title.

LMAO

Winning sounds so much more fun than jumping through hoops to try and get validation from people who don't matter.

I guess this is the kind of thing your fan base does when you don't win shit for almost a decade.

:thumb: Point taken and I sincerly apologize-emotions got the best of me for sure.

I think it was 77/78 my family went to a game at Arrowhead in December. We sat lower level on the east side about halfway up. My friend and I each walked a different direction and met on the other side of the stadium. It was so empty we could hear my Dad yell at us to head back over-lol This was 3rd quarter and everyone had left.

In the 80's we went when they had ticket give aways- usually several games a year-that was the only way people would go. We had a few years of false hope when crowds grew larger.

The 90's came. Neil and DT-enough said. We got season tickets DT's rookie year and the Bills game changed Everything. It was electric, I couldn't wait for sundays- it was usually thursday before I got my voice back-lol These were lifetime memories with my family and friends.

Then the PH/ Green years- the other side of the coin- was not nearly as loud because the D could not stop anyone- still so fun watching the Chiefs score at will.

Then the dark days came back. We suffered through years of going to games watching teams with poor leadership, unprepared, zero heart- but we went. It was a grind and depressing. The Chiefs rewarded us by raising our season tickets every year. The final nail was when they started adding a extra service charge for each season ticket holder so we were paying well over face value for preseason and meaningless games the Chiefs had no chance of winning. A December game against the Donks- I could not even give my extra tickets away. It was soo fun sitting in freezing rain watching the future SB winning Donks steamroll us like we we a high school team. Walking out getting yelled at like we were at Their stadium. I thought that was the low point- then came last year. Disfunction, rebellion, losing, finger pointing, banners and the lowest point in Arrowhead history- murder / suicide.

So I completely understand everyones attitude on here. I have had my heart ripped out by my team more than I could count. Frooze at the Colts playoff game, nearly washed down the stairs at the Monsoon game, baked in the sun at all the stoppid full price preseason games, and was at the game when Montana did his magic and gave us Hope. Been going to Arrowhead my whole life- ups and downs- magic and tragic. I really think it is part of who I am.

Well after years of hearing how bad the Chiefs suck on a daily basis- it was nice to see people excited for them again-no matter how hollow some might think the cause is. Posting their defining moments in pictures which mirrored my own. Will it work? Will they get the record? Will it jump start a new era? I don't know and it doesn't matter to me.

At least at this moment there is HOPE. Hope we can bring back what is dear to us, the good old days which seem even more special with the black marks and wounds still fresh from last year. Hope our team becomes respectable and starts winning again. Hope for that elusive championship. Hope that we can laugh and tail gate with our loved ones and build memories. Hope we can take our kids and be proud of our team and Arrowhead becomes part of them like it is with us. Hope that no matter how far our kids move away to find their own life- Arrowhead and Chiefs- mean Home.

Hope is for fools they say. But that is all I have left.

Care to change your statement?

The crowd was absolutely HUGE in helping with this win today.

x137.5

That's just ****ing INSANE for an old-school, open air stadium.

I guess I pretty much nailed it. :)

Nope.

Stubbornness at its finest.

Turtlehead Stadium?

Yeah, but I have been to a game with Bug and he is one of the loudest screamersI have ever sat with.

LMAO Damnit...

Don't get me wrong, I love crowd noise and it adds excitement to a game, I just don't think that it alone can turn an L into a W.

Well it can definitely turn a struggling team into a quivering pool of jelly.

And it does help to get to 4th and 48.

NTTATWWT :D

;)

What an awesome day!! And we did it with Less fans in the stadium than what the Seahags used in their partially covered tard stadium. We were consistently the LOUDEST STADIUM IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD- as posted- whereas the seahags had a few spikes when they "manufactured" the record.

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.

LMAO 4 and 48 backs up this statement!!

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.

Via twitter- X-Factor
"Its going down MNF!!! Once and for all we show world who is #loudestandproudest #chiefs #SeaofRed http://twitter.com/kcxfactor/status/...photo/1”

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.

ROFL

Along with their record being 1-2.

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!!"

lol

We have 9 home wins in the last 3 years...

if you start me up
if you start me up I'll never stop!"

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.

I won't be at this one. It was great to be a part of the last record, but the Seahags can manufacture more noise and will probably magically beat it again by .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 to get the record back.

They should let it rest until we have a team worthy of the attention.

Also gonna be difficult to be loud when the chiefs are down by 17 in the first quarter.

Torched by a scrub named "Fozzie". We got it goin' on, yo'.

X factor is a bad ass! Beat those seahag fans!

When a group has to "schedule" a time to get loud...its gay. How about the Griefs make some kick ass plays that make the crowd erupt into record noise.

http://images.publicradio.org/conten...28_win3_25.jpg

Are you talking about this guy?

Didn't he get killed while visiting the Black Hole in Oakland?

Not this shit again. Dumb asses should have done it the Seattle game if they were going to pull this stunt again.

But....but....national stage!!

LMAO....I'm not even sure what X-Factor is supposed to be. He looks like a homeless person that stumbled upon a bag of chiefs shit from the 90s, some guys wife threw away. Then he decided to wear every item at the same time.

:LOL:
