Well that was quick. Sorry Seattle, your new record has been broken already. Arrowhead Stadium has broken the noise level record.
Am I missing something?! Since when did this become such a big deal?! *Shrugs* Congrats Chiefs fans. Details after the jump…
Via ESPN:
Arrowhead Stadium is once again the loudest stadium in the NFL. This time, it’s official.
The Kansas City Chiefs fans broke the world record for an outdoor sports stadium in their 24-7 win over Oakland on Sunday when they reached 137.5 decibels in the closing minutes.
An official from Guinness World Records told The Associated Press that Chiefs fans broke the record of 136.6 set by Seahawks fans during a game against San Francisco earlier this year.
To put that in perspective, a jet engine at 100 feet is about 140 decibels. “I had people who’d been coming to Chiefs games for decades come up to me and say, `I’ve never heard it that loud,” said Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt, whose family’s franchise has long claimed that Arrowhead Stadium is the loudest in the league. “It’s very difficult for a team to play in that.”
