Pacific Northwest Seismic Network Records Tremor as Marshawn Lynch Runs for TD
With every yard Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch gained, Qwest Field got louder.

By the time his 67-yard, eight-tackle-breaking scamper in Saturday's playoff game against the New Orleans Saints was over, the 12th man was rocking.

And apparently so was the earth below the stadium.

The Pacific Northwest Seismic Network recorded a small tremor at exactly 4:43 p.m. Saturday afternoon from an old monitoring system near where the Kingdome used to stand.

That time is almost exactly when Lynch broke what turned out to be the game-deciding touchdown run in the 4th quarter, sealing the improbable win by the Seahawks.

And while Qwest Field is famous nationwide for its crowd noise, PNSN scientists think their readings show that was the first recorded 12th man tremor, ever.

After all, the "quake" was recorded only at that single SoDo station.

Wow!!!

I know I was making serious noise while watching that game. Amazing run! Probably the best postseason run ever.

I would bet this is fake though. Meh, who knows....there was a lot of jumping around.

Yeah, I doubt it was less the noise, and more to do with 60,000 people jumping up and down.

Can you imagine Browns Stadium if we were in the AFC championship with the same scenario and it was Hillis. Muni might have caved in...

My dad and I have had season tix since '99, and the only time I can remember Cleveland Browns Stadium "shaking" was the "Run William Run!" play.

That one play was amazing and I can still feel the "bounce" of the upper deck - I'm one row from the top mind you - from everybody jumping and high fiving.

I can't imagine how awesome it must have been to be at Quest Field the other day for that play.
