bash those fans and the 12th man thing all you want... they've created EARTHQUAKES. I don't care if you're bandwagon or not, that's freaking impressive.
Everything you do creates an earthquake. EVERYTHING.
If I drop a piece of paper on the ground, I create an earthquake.
In other words, EVERY stadium, from little league to Seattle creates turbulence/sound waves, that is earthquakes.
In other words, it's all just hype. We could say that about ANY sports event ever... or any action, natural or man-made that creates turbulence. Every step you take creates a mini-earthquake.
Some time back, some moron decided it would make 'news' to set up a earthquake detector nearby stadiums and various events and hyped it. Sadly, people never stopped to think it through. It means nothing. But since it makes a good storyline, people pick up on it, and thinks it means something.
It doesn't.
..and of course the intensity of the 'earthquake' is malleable. In other words it can be rigged.
The same event measured by a seismograph can give different readings based on WHERE it is located. 100 feet away will give a different reading then a mile away.
So overall when people say it 'created an earthquake', you can say YES it did, and no, it's not special or 'earth shattering'.
