Seattle Seahawks fans shouting for Guinness Record
Offer Chiefs fans a free taco at halftime and watch them beat the record
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100...uinness-record When the Seattle Seahawks host the NFC West rival San Francisco 49ers in Week 2's "Sunday Night Football" showcase, the players will renew their increasingly bitter rivalry on the field. In the stands, fans will attempt to win their own place in the record books. During the Sept. 15 showdown, fans at CenturyLink Field -- the loudest stadium in the NFL -- might break the Guinness World Record for "loudest crowd roar at a sports stadium." "Volume 12," a Seahawks fan group not officially associated with the team, announced on its Facebook page that Guinness accepted the application to give the "12th Man" the opportunity to break the record. The current record in this category of 131.76 decibels, according to SeattlePI.com, was set at the Ali Sami Yen Sport Complex Turk Telekom Arena on March 18, 2011, in Istanbul, Turkey, by fans of Turkey's Galatasaray S.K. club. (That is the other kind of football, for those not familiar.) The Seahawks' official website documents the highest decible level at CenturyLink at 112. However, the 60,000-seat stadium holds 7,000 more fans than the current record holder. Considering how loud Seahawks fans are without a record on the line, we'd be silly to bet against them. |
It's time to end this Seattle bullshit once and for all. All you Arrowhead Lil' Chiefy's need to get your asses back to work this year.

112db to 132db+
20db more? That's only 6 times louder. ROFL |
Yeah tired of this Seattle becoming known as the loudest stadium. Hopefully, Reid and Co can bring back that Arrowhead magic and we can retake the throne.

I was in KC during the Monday night game against San Diego. That was by far the best crowd I've witness at any sporting event. Wonder how loud we go that night.

Seattle is no joke. That stadium is ****ing unconscionable.

I was at the Chiefs v Seahawks game in Seattle 3 years ago. Security threatened to kick me out for being too loud.

We went to that game too, nothing but red at the end of the game. Ass whooping! There was a lot of red for a road game.

Did the soccer fans use them horns to make that record?

dont understand the obsession with loudness. Personally, I go to enjoy the game, not to go deaf.
generationdeaf.com/loudnessreference.html *Around 125 decibels, roughly as loud as a firecracker, is refered to as the pain threshold. It's the point where your ear interpert the level of sound as physically painful. Prolonged exposure at this level is very dangerous. *The average rock concert is 120 decibels. At that volume hearing damage occurs in 7.5 minutes. *The average football stadium is 115 decibels, loud enough to cause damage in 15 minutes. osha.gov/SLTC/noisehearingconservation Fans are putting their own players and NFL employees at risk of hearing loss. OSHA would only allow occupational exposure to 120 dbA for 7min. @ 130 dbA that time frame drops to 1.75 minutes. Personally, I care more about wins than loudness. Let them go deaf. |
how many of you idiots have been to arrowhead the last ten seasons. the wimper is strong

The loudest I ever experienced Arrowhead was that stupid playoff game we lost to the Colts and TG got called for PI. I think my ears were bleeding that game.
Second loudest was the Inagural Thanksgiving Night game against the Donko's. That game took me two days to recover from |

"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. |
BULL SHIT

The math just doesn't add up. I am sorry.

Yeah i thought Arrowhead was loud but thats danger level
|
They should measure it by vibration, see the glass breaking thread, when that place is rocking, it is literally rocking. In the 90' there where times when I wondered if that stadium would collapse.
|
Arrowhead sits 80,000, correct? So Seattles stadium sits 67,000 max? Arrowhead should be able to break that record! Challenge accepted!
|
great comments here folks!!!!

Arrowhead won't break that record because they had the special construction advantage.

I think that Arrowhead could be louder if it was orchestrated as this was. You have everyone in the stadium waiting to get loud on cue for a very short period, and you will be louder than people randomly yelling.
|
So they suddenly managed to increase their output by a factor of 256.
A 24db increase is enourmous. Something fishy is going on. |
Loudest noise I ever heard at a football game was in 1981 UCLA vs Iowa. Mark Bortz fell on a fumble late in the game to seal the deal. It was so loud that my hearing went out for a moment. In that time it seemed like I was cut off from the rest of the world in a crowd of 60,000 people.
