12th man registers small tremor in Seattle 

Post#1 » by wiff » Wed Jan 12, 2011 3:56 pm

Just curious if anyone heard about the 12th man Quake after Lynch's TD run against the Saints?

http://www.king5.com/news/local/Seahawk ... 08789.html
SEATTLE -- Seahawks fans quite literally shook the Earth Saturday during the NFL playoff game against the New Orleans Saints.
Qwest Field erupted with excitement during the 4th quarter when Marshawn Lynch made an astonishing 67-yard touchdown run, broke half a dozen tackles, and put the Seahawks up 41-30 over the Saints.
The play made the 12th Man roar in the stands, and silenced Who Dat Nation. But was it enough to actually move the Earth?
"It's all real," said John Vidale, Director of Pacific Northwest Seismic Network. "People were shaking the stands, the stands were shaking the ground and it [was] going to the instruments."


That is sweet. Seattle once again proving they have the best fans. The proof is in the quake!

It wasn't actually the people. Having a stadium that magnifies sound doesn't make someone have the best fans lol.

Talk about Beast Mode ... according to the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network, a blip in the seismograph came at the exact same moment that Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch was rumblin', bumblin' and stumblin' into the endzone from 67 yards out, making at least seven New Orleans Saints whiff on their tackle attempts. King 5 News posted a picture of the seismography on its Facebook page

Really what about this?
The New York Giants allegedly asked the NFL to intervene in 2006 when they played the Seattle Seahawks. In their 2005 matchup at Qwest Field, the Giants incurred 11 false start penalties due to the crowd noise. For the 2006 rematch between the two teams, the NFL sent observers to verify that the Seahawks were not artificially enhancing the noise level. Seattle fans have caused 2.83 false starts per game, which is the highest in the NFL since 2005. The Decibel level at Qwest Field is a whopping 112 dB, only 18 dB below the roar of a Boeing 747.[18]


WHAT NOW???

Sure the fans are loud, but how does what you posted prove your point?
