Pacific Northwest Seismic Network tracks fan activity during World Cup matches
Summary

The Pacific Northwest Seismic Network is monitoring fan-made ‘earthquakes’ during FIFA World Cup matches hosted at Lumen Field, recently renamed Seattle Stadium. Seven strong-motion seismometers have been installed around the venue to capture seismic signals generated by fan excitement. This initiative follows previous projects that recorded fan noise during Seahawks playoff games and notable moments like the 2011 ‘Beast Quake’ run by Marshawn Lynch. Fans will be able to see live seismogram data during the six World Cup matches in Seattle.
