"Last fall, Arrowhead Stadium pegged 115 decibels for an average reading. Allen Fieldhouse was at 125 decibels for the duration of the KU-Mizzou game." Once again, only 15 minutes of exposure to 115 decibels can lead to PERMANENT hearing loss (not necessarily complete hearing loss). ------------------------------------------------------------------ Some facts from uptodate: Hearing loss is a common chronic impairment, particularly for older adults. In the Beaver Dam cohort in the United States, the prevalence of hearing loss, defined by audiometry, increased steadily with age: 3 percent ages 21 to 34 6 percent ages 35 to 44 11 percent ages 44 to 54 25 percent ages 55 to 64 43 percent ages 65 to 84 Worldwide, estimates from the World Health Organization are that hearing loss affects 538 million people Noise exposure — Everyday noise exposure, compounded over time, has an impact upon our ability to hear. Excessive noise can ultimately affect the degree of the presbycusis that develops. Constant exposure to loud noises can cause high frequency sensorineural hearing loss. A short blast of loud noise also can cause severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss, pain, or hyperacusis (pain associated with loud noise). This usually involves exposure to noise greater than 120 to 155 dB. Thus, hearing protection in the form of muffs or plugs is highly recommended anytime a person is exposed to loud noise. |

I lived in Seattle for nearly 20 years and now live in Portlandia where the women have asses and the beer flows like wine. That stadium and the 12th man crap is such a joke. That city is band wagon fandom as I have ever experienced. I have been in Arrowhead when the red sea is deep and the tomahawks are flyin and I have spent many a Sunday in the Seattle Puget Sound wind bowl stadium and there is no comparison. KC kicks their ass!! They call it the 12th man but it sounds like eight fat chicks fartin in the dark. At least it did the last time the Chiefs kicked their ass!!!!

I guess they set the record last night. Congrats Seahawks fan!
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-...oudest-stadium Back in July, we first mentioned that the 12th man -- the name Seahawks fans go by -- would use the Week 2 matchup against the 49ers to try to break the Guinness World Record for the loudest stadium in sports history. It didn't hurt that the Seahawks dominated the 49ers on Sunday night. During a third-quarter goal-line stand, CenturyLink Field reached 136.6 decibels, shattering the previous mark of 131.9 set by ... the 12th man just two quarters earlier. The Seattle Times confirmed the result with Phil Robertson, a judge from Guinness. Coming into the game, fans of Turkish soccer club Galatasaray S.K held the record of 131.76 decibels, set in March 28, 2011. Robertson, who is more familiar with soccer venues, was impressed with Seahawks fans. "It's a far louder, tribal kind of passion," and "the sound is more continuous," he said. "There's passionate people in soccer, but here you see veins bulging out of necks." Less impressed, no doubt: Comedian Bill Burr, a Massachusetts native and Patriots fan, who joked last October, following Seattle's upset win over New England (and led to Richard Sherman's "U Mad Bro" Twitter meme), that the 12th man was a farce. "Seattle, their fans annoy the f--- outta me, they really do," Burr said on his podcast (you can listen here, around the 6:10 mark, but almost all of it is NSFW). "I am so sick of them getting all this f------ credit for being this loud crowd, the 12th man. You know who the 12th man should be? Your 12th man every week should be the architect that built that stadium because they knew you guys were just average f------ fans so they had to design a symphony hall to enhance how loud your cheers are." As Richard Sherman might suggest: Scoreboard, Bill And in case you're wondering, Ellerbe Beckett, LMN Architects and Streeter & Associates are the architects responsible for CenturyLink Field. |
