Arrowhead Stadium breaks record for noise level
Published: October 13, 2013 Updated 14 hours ago
KANSAS CITY, Mo. ? 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."
That may be an understatement.
The Raiders struggled with the reverberating sound all afternoon, and were whistled for 11 penalties ? several of them were false starts and for delay of game, simply because nobody in the visiting huddle could hear each other talking.
"It was a tough environment," Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor acknowledged.
The record-setting attempt was planned by Chiefs fans but had support of the organization, which paid $7,500 to fly an adjudicator from Guinness to Kansas City to document the effort. It turned out to be Philip Robertson, who also was on hand when the Seahawks set their mark.
"They destroyed any Premier League hopes of attaining this record, I can tell you that, and I'm a Brit that loves the Premier League," Robertson said. "It was extraordinary."
Robertson said that the sustained level of noise inside Arrowhead Stadium was greater than at CenturyLink Field, when Seattle set the record. But all that matters for the record books is the peak volume, and it appeared as if the Chiefs were going to come up short as the game wound down.
"In the fourth quarter, they got to 135.4, and that's where we thought they were going to finish," Robertson said. "Heads dropped, but then the fans really started working together."
The result was a record-setting din that shook the stadium's press box.
"We were really trying hard to get our calls to each other on defense. It was really tough," Chiefs safety Eric Berry said. "I had to actually go up to some of my teammates and yell in their ear what the calls were. But we love it, man. That's a great feeling."
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said he felt the ground shaking, and quarterback Alex Smith said he had a hard time communicating with teammates on the sideline when the crowd was at its peak.
Always when the Raiders had the ball, of course.
"The way the crowd was going, that was tough," Smith said. "I was sitting there on the sideline, and I could tell, it was hard environment to execute in."
Did he feel just a little sorry for Pryor trying to make his calls?
"Not at all. I've had my fair share of those," Smith said with a smile. "But I don't know if I've seen anything like that. That was pretty special."

Sabres will still suck
Go Sens Go
i shouldn't say that too loud today as the boys got smacked around by the freaking Jackets.
Ha ha...Dallas and Pittsburgh got knocked out of the playoffs. My team may really suck, but at least neither of these two made the playoffs. That is all.
Go Dallas Stars!
I never try anything, I just do it. Wanna try me?
DIAF.
49ers will win the Superbowl.
Go Eagles!

49ers!
I'm totally stealing that for my facebook. hahaha
That 49's player's knee went all bendy-wendy. OW OW OW.
Bowman will be back....
Huge NBA fan here. My team is the New Orleans Pelicans - this season was the beginning of our rebuilding process, so there were some high expectations. As it stands (with less than 30 games left), we won't make the playoffs. Sad, but many of our good players (Ryan Anderson, Jrue Holiday, etc) have been out indefinitely, so that hurt our chances. The brightest part of our team is Anthony Davis, who at 20 is already establishing himself as one of the best players. It was great to see him in the All-Star game.
I am a die hard Denver Bronco fan. The first game I ever watched was in Denver in 2nd grade :)
It was good to see Jr win the 500. Good shit.
FOOTBALL TIME!
Maybe this is the year we get to burn Detroit down...
nah, you missed your chance on that.
I'm a lifelong Chicago Bears fan. I know how to roll with the punches and take the good and the bad. But this is just embarrassing. They need an overhaul, top to bottom.
Jay Cutler sucks.
Indeed.
