Cheif fans shatter Seahawk stadium noise record

THat's gonna be hard to beat. For sure.

That's the thing, they're not bandwagon. They go march on the president's lawn demanding a change. An NFL fan would've just become a seahawk or bronco fan.

And this claim is based on what? I think if you root for a pro sports team you know that your team is not going to win every single year and that every streak of greatness is likely to be followed by a streak of losing. That's just the nature of pro sports ( well, except for MLB where teams just try to buy championships). Any reasonable person doesn't jump ship after one bad season.

After thinking about it though, you're right. There are fewer bandwagon fans in college simply due to the fact that most fans attended the school and it's just not the same rooting for a school you didn't attend. I think what I'm really trying to say is that the number of fair weather fans doesn't change much from college to pro.

I will say that fans of big name programs in particular don't really have a reason to be bandwagon fans since, again, they tend to win every single year. That also makes them unreasonable when they lose a few for once. Thinking you're entitled to seeing a 10+ win team every year and protesting at the President's house is beyond stupid.

Fans were civil in both places. There was plenty of trash talking going on but absolutely nothing that crossed any lines. I just didn't like the nonstop yelling for the sake of nonstop yelling. Half the time nothing was even going on.

I don't really find that when I go to games at the clink. Some people are drunk and loud the whole time, just like anywhere else. Birdie the most part, people save their energy for when the defense is on the field. I imagine its the same at Arrowhead.

I think that's basically impossible given the number of people that watch college football.

More impressive for KC than Seattle given stadium design.

"I hate Seattle" - AZ-DbacksAZ

Not sure AZ's comment is that insulting. Pretty sure it is well proven that an open stadium is going to have more trouble generating sound than that of Seattle's stadium that can have sound bounce around the stadium and down to the field. So yes it is a very impressive feat for the Chiefs to have this recognition.

Its not and I'm the last person to be insulted by anything.

I was just pointing out that anytime he can take a jab at the Hawks he does.

I don't follow all of his/her posts so can't really argue against your thought here. Just thought this one comment in a vacuum wasn't really a jab but major kudos to the Chiefs for getting this record which they deserve. I hate the Chiefs yet honestly there is no other franchise in the NFL that I respect more than that of the Chiefs. Their fans are top notch.

Stadium design definitely helps Seattle, but then you also need to account for the fact that Arrowhead holds 9500 more people than the Clink so it's probably a wash.

Good point.

I'm going to get a few of my friends together and see if we can beat this decibel thingy at "THE PAUL".

How can grown ass men be bragging about how loud they can scream? These same "men" are also competing to see how many people they can pack into their Fiats.

In San Diego we're too busy drinking beer and checking out our cheerleaders with binoculars to scream. Not to mention if we screamed that loud our stadium would implode.

You're not kidding. I went to a Holiday Bowl at Qualcomm about 10-12 years ago and when the jets did a flyby some of the stadium lights shattered and rained down on people in the stands.
