As a life long chief fan it is always loud but a cool thing about arrowhead is the field is actually built almost 2 stories underground which means when the fans yell it causes an echo to happen amplifying the noise!
Arrowhead Stadium(Kansas City, Missouri) currently holds the Guinness World Record for loudest open outdoor air stadium. It hit a record of 142.2 decibels during a 2014 game where 76,416 fans showed up. This sound was equivalent to a jet engine! I was there that night and it was insane.
Important to note the Arrowhead crowd (75,000 strong) is an open air stadium. Many of the other loud moments in this video are under a dome or indoors where the sound cannot escape, and gets bounced back into the venue. Also decibels are a logarithmic scale, an increase of 10db is doubling the sound, an increase of 30db is 3x as loud and so on. Normal conversation is about 30db. Arrowhead’s official record was 142.2db roughly an increase of 110 db. In other words, doubling the sound 11 times, (2^11 = 2048 times louder). I grew up in that crowd and can definitively say it was even louder in the 1990s before the record books started recording crowd noise. If you dig through old 90’s footage you can find opposing teams complaining to the referee the couldn’t communicate with their own teammates only inches away.
Yes, we can get loud here in the Kansas City area. Arrowhead stadium has the loudest outdoor crowd, & Allen Fieldhouse (about 40 miles to the West - still part of the metro area) has the loudest indoor crowd. We love our sports.
Glad he included the ‘87 Twins! I’m from Minnesota and I was 15 at the time! It was (till then) the greatest moment of my life! Even watching on TV you could tell it was loud!
Arrowhead stadium is ridiculous.. been there many many times.. You cannot describe it until you experience it yourself. It is one of the crown jewel stadiums in the United States.. its unlike anything you have ever heard.
Living in Missouri i've been to chiefs games a few times and man I can tell you. It is LOUD such an energetic crowd. And for clarity as for what's going on. That giant drum with all the "Ohing" and arm swinging is called the "tomahawk chop." Done before opening kick off. Just a traditional thing done for years to get the crowd and players hyped up. Lot of controversy about it over the years about "Mocking and disrepecting indian heritage" Which is a bunch of nonsense. Not one person is making fun of it. The only reason it is done is because the team is a native american themed team. Hence the name "Chiefs" And arrowhead logo. If it wasn't a native American named team it wouldn't have even came about at all. If anything I think it encourages people to embrace it more.
“When LSU plays on a Saturday night and the band takes the field, plays the first four notes of ‘Hold That Tiger’ it will make the hair stand up on a dead man’s chest.” Ed Hinton, Atlanta Journal Constitution. “The difference between a night game and a day game at Tiger Stadium? At night you can smell the bourbon on the field.” Mike Archer. “There is noise in stadiums everywhere, from Eugene (Ore.) to Tuscaloosa (Ala). Only in Baton Rouge is there a living, breathing being lurking in its grand, old stadium.” Dennis Dodd, CBS. “It was so loud I could barely read the signals. My eyes were vibrating.” South Carolina’s Bruce Ellington. “It was like the Colosseum in Rome and we were the Christians.” Bobby Dodd of Georgia Tech.
I was in the stands for the beast quake. It wasn’t just the noise, though - the fans were jumping up and down in the stands. That’s what caused the building to shake so much it triggered the seismic sensors. There have been 2 other games in that stadium which were *louder*, but not shakier. At a recent game, the the Seahawks honored the three researchers who captured and identified the Beast Quake. Worth noting that just 2 positions up is the UW game, whose stadium is only a couple of metro stops away from the Seahawks stadium. We get loud here in Seattle.
There are a couple of hockey moments that should have made this list. First, when Sidney Crosby scored the gold medal goal in men's hockey for Canada at the 2010 winter Olympics in Vancouver. Second, when Dave Ellett scored in double overtime for the Winnipeg Jets vs the Edmonton Oilers in game 4 of their playoff series in 1990.The Jets fans at the Winnipeg Arena went absolutely crazy when he scored.
I took my oldest duaghter to Arrowhead for a Chiefs game, I told her to be ready for how loud it would be, she did not believe me, I pointed to the led lights that said, welcome to Arrowhead the loudest stadium in the NFL. She still did not believe me, until the game started, belief became and realization that I was speaking truth. Arrowhead is the Loudest and best NFL Stadium!
This kind of thing reminds me of the liner notes of the original record LP of The Beatles Live At The Hollywood Bowl. People that were there said that the crowd cheered so loud, that if a JET PLANE had gone by overhead, nobody would have heard it over the noise. I've even read in various books about the Beatles that the speaker tech was so bad back then, that the Beatles couldn't even hear themselves sing or play their instruments. I can believe that sports events could get as loud, if not louder.
The longest loud stadium moment was 2131 at Camden Yards in Baltimore. That was the night Cal Ripken broke the consecutive games played streak set by Lou Gehrig. The ovation lasted 23 minutes at 120 decibels. There are plenty of YT videos about it.
We in San Francisco got very loud for a reason pretty much our own. In the first home game at Candlestick Park of the 1989 World Series between the Giants and the Oakland As, when the Loma Prieta Earthquake rocked the stadium people didn’t realize it was a serious event and just considered it an “only in San Francisco” moment at first so the response was wild cheering.
It would be awesome to see you guys reacting to the hockey glass breaking, or massive explosions that were filmed. It would also be cooler if you guys reacted to Slow Mo Guys videos.
LSU fans at Tiger Stadium have been known to set off nearby seismographs on more than one occasion. The most recent being this season when they defeated Alabama in overtime.
I wish they explained decibel (dB) ratings. 140 db is basically standing 25 yards away from a jet at takeoff. It is STAGGERINGLY LOUD. Running a chainsaw is about 110db. Standing next to a firetruck or ambulance siren is maybe 120-125db. Running a jack hammer is about 130db, try having a conversation while that is going on.
I was in US Bank Stadium on Thanksgiving night (same place as #9 on your list in the video). They randomly flash the dB level on the big screens but the also have a digital display along both sidelines right under where the press/luxury boxes start that constantly show the decibel level in the stadium. Between plays it would drop to the high 80’s low 90’s but when the opposing teams offense was on the field it would rise up to well over 115. The highest I personally saw it go was 120.3. Keep in mind this was for a regular season game but it was in Primetime on Thanksgiving to a national audience so the crowd was pretty pumped up plus it was a back and forth game which made it even more exciting. The Vikings will host at least 1 playoff game this year so I’d imagine it will be significantly louder in the “Bank” for that game.
Definitely would love to see more hockey reactions! If you need any recommendations there’s a video called “the beauty of hockey” or a few different “most electrifying nhl playoff moments” videos
A couple of submissions to add to this video. 1. 1999 NFC playoffs - Minnesota Vikings at St. Louis Rams - The Rams score a TD on their first play from scrimmage. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-65teJeCr_Ew.html 2. 2005 NCAA Tournament Elite Eight - The Illinois Fighting Illini trail the Arizona by 15 points with 4 minutes left in the game.

US stadiums . In Europe ther is louther noise and stadiums with a lot more Passion haha. Love youre video's. Greatings from Leiden , the Netherlands Holland 🇳🇱
Arrowhead isn't a US record...its the world record...im sure they are loud...but Arrowhead is #1 for a reason. Make no mistake...its the loudest in the world.
If Seattle did the same thing, it still wouldn't be as loud... iv been to both stadiums for a game.. Seattle is extremely loud, no doubt...Arrowhead is another level though. Why shouldn't it count? Seattle was specifically built to trap noise...Arrowhead wasnt built like that and has absolutely no cover of any kind above it. Arrowhead is just louder.
Still one of the loudest and most dramatic moments in baseball history: Kirk Gibson's only at-bat in the 1988 World Series. . . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FERsNPyAUZM.html
