I read about this in a study once and it comes down to the officials/refs...the home team gets the calls because of the crowd...human nature.

Not buying refs = home advantage. Refs favor good teams, and penalize bad teams everywhere. OP, think about cooking a meal in your kitchen vs a strangers. Where will you cook the better meal? And even a 6th grader who plays knows why. A smart one.

My neighbor where I grew up, who was like an older brother, told me that home field advantage was that the women at home knew all the right moves to make a player relax. Strange on the road was good, but they just didn't have the experience with the players that the home girls had.

No, that's not the main factor. It can help, buy not the only thing
Anyone who's played sports in a high school level would understand. It's just the "comfort" feeling associated with playing in your own gym that you're used to.

I read the same article. I couldn't find it after just a quick google. I remember it saying the biggest example of this was in soccer where the refs add more or less stoppage time to help the home team. In general, they described it as you mentioned, human nature of the refs wanting to please a crowd. Not they were even doing it consciously.
