12th Man shooting for ‘crowd roar’ Guinness record when Seahawks host 49ers | Seattle Seahawks & NFL News - seattlepi.com
CenturyLink Field is known as the loudest and most intimidating stadium in the NFL. But for a group of Seahawks fans, that aint nearly enough how about the loudest stadium in the whole world?
Volume 12, a fan group that recently partnered with the same marketing firm which handled Richard Shermans celebrity softball game Sunday, is organizing an effort to break the Guinness World Record for loudest crowd roar at a sports stadium during the Seahawks home opener against the rival 49ers on Sept. 15 at the CLink.
Not officially connected with the team, Volume 12 has successfully applied with Guinness to attempt the new world record, according to the groups Facebook page. Guinness has sent Volume 12 the materials needed to submit proof of the 12th Mans record attempt.
The current Guinness record for loudest crowd roar at a sport stadium is 131.76 decibels, set during a soccer match at the Ali Sami Yen Sport Complex Turk Telekom Arena on March 18, 2011, in Istanbul, Turkey, by fans of Turkeys Galatasaray S.K. club. Heres more about the record-setting attempt from Guinness:
The sound level was measured from the side line of the stadium. Distance to the crowd was 2 meters. They were given 3 attempts. The first attempt was at 20:50 pm, it measured 112.08 dbA. The second attempt was at 21:03 pm and measured 130.55 dbA. The third attempt took place at 21:15 pm and produced a reading of 131.76 dbA. A notary and one witness (sound engineer) were present. The precision measuring noise level meter (certified and calibrated) was a Bruel & Kjaer 2250 RAM DT-8850. This was the first derby game which took place at the brand new home (stadium) for Galatasaray SC and its fans. 49,488 fans of Galatasaray SC and 2,500 fans of Fenerbahce SC were counted that day. The game was finally won by Fenerbahce SC, 2-1.
On their website, the Seahawks say Seattles 12th Man has been measured at 112 decibels louder than a power saw or a rock concert, and not much quieter than a Boeing 747.
Can the 12th Man break the record?
With the CLinks capacity for more than 60,000 people, its a good bet Seahawks fans will at least get close. And with the fanatic crowd expected for the highly anticipated rivalry game? Yeah, were thinking the 12th Man can get it done.
