It took the Carolina Hurricanes 10 years for the canes to put an end to their agonizing playoff drought. However, the canes wouldn’t have sniffed the playoffs If it weren’t for the fans. In the seven playoff games that the hurricanes played in at home, every single game was sold out and then some.
The games weren’t just full, they were extremely loud. In one of the home games the canes had during the playoffs, the noise in the arena reached an 117 decibel level.
In comparison, a 120 decibel level is just as loud as a clap of thunder.
