GO CHIEFS !!

So, I have never been to a football game there, But that stadium has Guinness World Record of being the loudest...

"Guinness measured an ear-shattering 142.2 dbA roar at Arrowhead Stadium in the Chiefs’ 41-14 rout of the Patriots. The record-breaking sound came with eight seconds left in the first quarter after the Chiefs stuffed New England’s Shane Vereen for no gain on second down.

For context, 140 dbA is the estimated sound on the deck of a busy aircraft carrier."

Kinda wondering how the hearing has diminished for those football players and Ref's and how many are having hearing problems from it ...

Let’s hope the Super Bowl is as good as the playoffs have been! That won’t be easy.

I was told we were the first marching band to play at Arrowhead stadium back in 72 or 73, it was loud even back then.... since then I always wore earplugs but even the best foam plugs were not strong enough at some games...at least Cincinn earned the comeback of their careers while Mahomes admits he was way-off that 2nd half. Boy was he...

Anyone that chooses to wear earplugs at a Football game I have a suggestion. Why don’t you use a blindfold too. That way you won’t see them either..... LOL.

In all seriousness Joe Burrow grew up about an hour from me. I'm a Browns fan but right now I'm all Bengals...

Been to a few Seahawks games (we've traded that loudest stadium record back and forth with KC). I wouldn't dream of attending without earplugs - my hearing's way too important to me!
