The Seattle Seahawks fans have long been celebrated for being very, very loud. They have also caused natural disasters. According to the Seattle Times, fans inside CenturyLink Field registered a magnitude 1 or 2 earthquake jumping up and down during Michael Bennett’s 22-yard fumble return for a touchdown Monday night against the New Orleans Saints.
The University of Washington has a seismometer in a warehouse about a block south of CenturyLink Field, says earth and space sciences professor John Vidale.
The earthquake-like vibration can be seen in the blue wave in this graphic.
This is the stadium’s second seismic outburst. The first occurred in 2011, when Marshawn Lynch busted a 67-yard touchdown run that clinched a playoff win over — the Saints.
Below is an artist’s recreation of the vibrations felt in and around the stadium.
