I'd heard that Seattle fans are notoriously loud and generally create great sporting atmospheres but this takes the biscuit. They celebrated so hard on Monday that they caused a minor earthquake!

A celebration by football fans in the US city of Seattle grew so loud on Monday evening it registered as a minor earthquake, a research group has said.

Raucous fans jumped up and down during an early first-quarter touchdown in the game between the Seattle Seahawks and the New Orleans Saints.

The Pacific Northwest Seismic Network detected the vibrations, measuring between a magnitude 1 and 2 earthquake.

The Seahawks won the game at CenturyLink Field 34-7.

Pacific Northwest Seismic Network director John Vidale told CNN his staff recorded five separate seismic events during the game.

It was not the first time fan celebrations shook Seattle. In 2011, the response to another US football touchdown registered at nearby seismic recording stations.

CenturyLink Field, which is open to the air, also set a Guinness World Record for noise in September.

Its the loudest stadium in the NFL. What also helps is that the stadium was designed to funnel in sound onto the field.

Got to say absolutely love Cam Newton, class QB

Looks like it's going to be Auburn v Florida State.

Watching Sparty beat Urban's arse. Enjoying this. lots.

Lots and lots.

anybody watching Lions @ Eagles? The Lions players look like ghosts in the snow.

I'm just pumped Mr. Smith threw a touchdown for my Jets. I had almost forgotten what that looked like.

Hey Rascal, any chance of Stafford throwing over 320 yards? probably should have tried to find some weather report

I'm amazed they're able to play, tbh.

I'm in absolute dreamland. Everton's performances, and my Chiefs are up 38-7 in the 2nd quarter FFS!!

And Sporting Kansas City won the MLS Cup (who do you support in St Louis??)

No one. I support all the KC teams from my youth living there, but SKC came in after so I don't have an allegiance. If St Louis got a franchise, I'd defo support them. It's frustrating that St. Louis is the spiritual home of soccer in the US but we can't get a team.

Sniff it Seahawks.

Cincinnati starting to gain momentum. Never looked remotely troubled by the Colts tonight. Indianapolis are one and done in the playoffs without question, but the Bengals.... hard to say.
