Know how I know you've never played a sport past the age of 10?


Because even a high school varsity athlete understands home field advantage.

Didn't do shite for me as a wrestler. There's no way to deny its effect as a whole, though. I actually have to believe that there must be some tangible benefit (like familiarity with a court or field) or an absence of travel fatigue.

This is a dick useless response.

Specifically, is it crowd noise? That should matter most only in football, and then only in venues that are loud and packed.

Is it the traveling? Most high schools and even colleges aren't really that far from each other, but that's a legit reason.

Is it familiarity? Except for some baseball fields, fields/courts are all the exact same dimensions.

Is it the refs? With 2006 Auburn it was but otherwise I dunno.
