The collective force of a stadium full of Seattle Seahawks fans celebrating Marshawn Lynch’s electric 67 yard run to the end zone caused a local earthquake that was registered by a local seismograph to be in the 1 to 2 magnitude range.

The director of a local seismic research station commented on the force of the quake, saying, “You probably would have felt it very easily if you were outside the stadium.”
