Loud and proud: The most intimidating football stadiums in the U.S.

Many people who’ve been there would testify to watching a football game live in a stadium as the ultimate American sports experience. The exhilaration combined with the chaos of tens of thousands of people screaming their lungs out makes for quite the moment. With amazing traditions being upheld by franchise faithful in stadiums all across the United States, attending a game can be akin to being at a rock concert with the loudest and baddest rock bands in history.

There are two stadiums in America though, with fans so loud, they intimidate even the players of visiting teams. Here they are. 

CenturyLink Field

For the past few decades, CenturyLink Field has been the home to the proud Seattle Seahawks and quite frankly, one of the most vocal and fiercest fan bases in all of mankind. Seahawks fans are so loud that the CenturyLink Field has been named the loudest stadium in the National Football League multiple times. The fans are some of the most passionate in the western United States that they’re often referred to as the 12th man. 

Arrowhead Stadium

One stadium that rivals CenturyLink Field is the Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, home to the Kansas City Chiefs. Visitors and guests of the city know only too well the ferocity and love Chiefs fans share by the loudness of their combined cheers. In fact, Chiefs fans have been recognized by none other than the Guinness Book of World Records as having the loudest recorded single roar in the history of American football.
