Monday night, the Seattle Seahawks hosted the New Orleans Saints in a clash of the two top NFC teams. Seattle is notorious for their loud crowd noise, known as the "12th Man", which has been a huge part in their recent success. During this Monday Night Football game, the Seahawks had a record breaking crowd, about 68,000 fans, that were more hyped than ever. The crowd was roaring the whole game, making it very difficult for the opposing team. In the first quarter, the Seahawks defense returned fumble for a touchdown and at that point the noise was so loud that it actually measure as a "mini earthquake". Washington University's seismometer bounced between a magnitude of 1 and 2, which set a world record for largest crowd noise. Every time Seattle would score, there was a seismic signal that was traced at Washington University. The Seahwaks ended up winning 34-7, a crucial part being the booming crowd noise.
