 10 Years Ago Today: Broncos Broke The World Record. Denver Broncos Fans Break World Record for 'Loudest Roar' Earns Mile High City Another Place in the record book... DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 1, 2000 Guinness World Records, the Denver Broncos, and their fans all teamed up on Sunday, October 1 to break the record for the world's "loudest roar." The crowd of over 76,000 rose to the occasion and rang up a reading of 128.7 decibels, breaking the previous record of 125.4 decibels set at a soccer game in Dublin, Ireland last year. "We're very proud that our fans were able to come through and break this record," said Greg Carney, senior director of Marketing. "We've known throughout the years we have the best fans in professional sports and what better way to prove it than by breaking the world's record for "loudest roar." Denver radio personality Steve Kelly of KOA-AM hosted the event at halftime, encouraging the crowd to get louder and louder during the ten-second-period in which Guinness was monitoring the sound levels in the stadium. Once the time had elapsed, Guinness World Records' Official Adjudicator Della Howes verified that the reading reached at Mile High Stadium had indeed broken the previous record. As the announcement was made on the DiamondVision screen, the capacity crowd erupted in celebration. "We're excited that the City of Denver and Broncos fans were able to break this record," said Nancy Richards, marketing manager for Guinness World Records. "This is a great way to begin our series of record-breaking attempts across the United States in celebration of the launch of our new Web site." Denver was the first of a number of major U.S. cities to host a large scale, record-breaking event in celebration of guinnessworldrecords.com, set to launch on October 23. The interactive Web site will feature video and audio clips, real time record updates, a comprehensive list of record holders, and a calendar of upcoming record-breaking events. The site will also complement the popular Guinness(R) World Records 2001 Edition, which is currently ranked number three on the New York Times Bestseller List. About Guinness World Records The first Guinness Book of Records was bound on August 27, 1955. It became an instant bestseller and quickly gained worldwide recognition as the authoritative source of records. Since inception, the book has grown in popularity around the world. Today, the book known as Guinness(R) World Records is the best-selling copyright book in the world. With over 90 million copies sold, the book is distributed in almost 100 markets and published in 23 different languages. In 1999, Guinness Publishing Ltd., changed its name to Guinness World Records Ltd., reflecting the company's increased globalization and diversification into other areas of business. Recent additions to the Guinness World Records brand are Guinness World Records Primetime, launched in 1998 with the U.S. version networked by Fox TV, and Guinness World Records - Home of the Longest, Shortest, Fastest, Tallest facts and feats, the company's interactive Web site that will launch in the United States in October, 2000.

On that same day, the now defunct Kansas City Comets of the Major Indoor Soccer League attracted 15,000 to their game at Kemper Arena.      |
