This past season these teams have split home and home victories, Week 2 Sea pounded SF 29-3 and in Week 14 SF squeaked out a 19-17 victory.
The shy and demure 12th Man, that is the home crowd, holds the Guinness Record for crowd noise at 137.6 decibels. It's like hearing a Jet engine at 100'.
The 12th Man set a Guinness World Record for crowd roar on Monday Night Football against the New Orleans Saints, recording a 137.6 decibel reading in the game's second quarter.

Specifically, they were installing instruments in a janitor's closet behind the visitor's bench and behind a concession area on the 300 level of the stadium. Connolly and his coworkers found themselves in the odd situation of hoping for a mini-earthquake.
It's happened before. When Marshawn Lynch scored on a 67-yard touchdown run in the NFC wildcard game against the Saints in 2011, the fan ruckus registered on the PNSN's seismometer, which is located a block away from the stadium.
The tremor has become known as the "Beast Quake," after Lynch's "Beast Mode" nickname, and even though it was only the equivalent of a 2 on the Richter scale, it became the stuff of legend in the Pacific Northwest.

He got it.
Lynch's game-clinching 31-yard touchdown run created a fan-induced tremor nearly as large as the original. It was so strong that Connolly's boss at the University of Washington, John Vidale, published seismographs on the PNSN website and added a disclaimer on Facebook: "This is the Seahawks football game, in case anyone misinterprets these posts as dangerous earthquake activity."
These 2 West Coast teams are led by young, up-and-coming QBs, the teams seem to match strength for strength, the home fans stir up a heated rivalry. This year these 2 were both the teams picked early on to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. It should be a helluva game.
