Home Field/ Ice/ Court adv. Does it matter

[brownbrown]

Is it Hype or does it Really make a difference of the outcome of Sports?
This does not include racing. Living near a track sets a clear advantage against the opposition.
Thanks for voting

Well, we beat LSU 22-0 that was practically in their back yard, so no.

Baseball - not much
football - more than baseball but not a ton
basketball - can be a significant advantage, imo
hockey - who cares

Hockey? Are you kidding? The game is so fast. Momentum swings are huge in hockey. Home ice helps momentum

home ice in hockey also means you get to put your line on the ice last if you want a specific defense pairing or shutdown line against the opponents top scoring line.

in baseball id also say yes as some fields are significantly smaller than others.

go pitch in royals stadium and then go pitch in new york, intimidation factor just because of the venue , home field makes a difference

Home park matters a lot in baseball. Some parks are hitter's parks, some are pitcher's parks. The home team will build their personnel around the park.

It matters less than other sports, IMO.
