You're right (re Home Field points), but crowd has very little to do with it. The primary reason Home Field is worth points is bc players get to sleep in their own beds, follow their usual schedule, don't have travel fatigue, have a familiar locker room, etc.
Disagree and coaches have backed this up over the years. It’s why they plead for everyone to come. I feel like Vegas is over shooting this

The earlier poster is correct - a large part of the home field advantage is that the visitors have to travel, and are completely out of their element and comfort zone. And any travel (even easy travel via airplane) is tiring, as most of us know.
