Home field Advantage



Home Field Advantage:  Do you think it exists? This slide share contains some information we talked about in class from:  Sports Illustrated, Jan. 17, 2011 “What’s Really Behind Home Field Advantage?” by Tobias J. Moskowitz and L. Jon Wertheim After discussion, reading and looking at the slide share, what is your opinion of home field advantage?  Does it exist? Does it depend on the sport? Do you think there is a certain conference in which fans are louder or more intense? Does the shape and size of the stadium matter? What about NCAA March Madness?   Do you think the neutral sites help in 12 vs 5 winning percentage? Does the proximity of a site to the school make a difference?  Is there more data or concepts that should be looked at?  You must support you reasoning with two ideas from the slide share.  Please post your comments to the blog.
