On Friday night, the Kings set a record for the loudest roar at an indoor facility. The sellout crowd of 17,317 reached 124.9 decibels during a first quarter timeout, then hit 126 decibels before the start of the fourth quarter to break the previous Guinness Book of World Records mark of 106.6 set by Milwaukee Bucks fans in 2008.
“We take the safety and comfort of our fans very seriously,” Kings president Chris Granger said in a statement released by the team Saturday. “We passed out 17,317 sets of ear plugs, enough for every person in the building. Ear plugs are available at any event in the arena.”
