Going for the Loudest Crowd. Someone Should Talk to These People About This.

The volume at Ralph Wilson Stadium could be louder this week. Guinness World Records plans to be at Sunday's game against the New England Patriots to see if the crowd can make it into its record books.

I read this also, they should have some type of awareness message or at the very least hand out some plugs. Hopefully we don't have any new members from western New York next week......

 

I like the comment at the end!
Smart and to the point, it should be sent to whoever has come up with this bad idea!

 

Hope people take plugs or will become a tinnitus party and so many left in a state due to it..lots of love glynis

 

They're going to try to beat the 142.2 dB record? That isn't even safe with earplugs. And then to think that many people will put these foam earplugs in incorrectly (have them sticking out of their ears).

This isn't something you should try to compete in. It's like seeing who can jump from the greatest height: the only way to win is to get hurt.

 

Sports stadiums are already pretty loud, this seems very very stupid. Hundreds will have T after this even with earplugs half way in

 

Health and safety need put a stop to this stupid competition :-(

 

Part of me thinks if people get T from this they may be more aware of the struggle. It's a shame though. What a stupid idea.
