Top 10 Homefield Advantages

Kyle Shiflet- You can't go wrong with "The Black Hole"... Since moving to Allegiant Stadium, I don't think the home-field advantage has really helped the Oakland Raiders out, very well because it literally doesn't seem like it's even there.

It makes me really sad to see Paul Allen lift up the 12 here. That man did a real service to this area football wise. He didn't move the team. He threw money and resources to make a better team. He built and supported a fan culture. Believed in Pete's Carroll's culture. Allowed Holmgren to have the power before that. 3 SB trips, more playoff appearances then probably any time prior. Always highlighted impressive people, not even football related even as a prereq, with his flag raising. I fear NFL fans outside of WA state will never understand what he really did for this area, and that time will forget his contributions to the sport as an owner. I've seen people lament questionable ownership, but Paul Allen was certainly not of that group.

There's a reason why Bud Grants in the Hall of Fame. That wasn't just a homefield advantage. That was a victory of the mental plane. Teams admitted they weren't focused on routes or catching the ball in the game about 2 quarters in. They had players admit they were worried about SURVIVING. Then you see 40 guys on the other side blowing steam out their face, standing, with nary a heater in sight with a head coach who often wouldnt wear a sweater unless it was a specific temperature below 0. That's a mental victory if ever seen in the game!

[@veggieoilerfan2940]

This episode claimed that Memorial Stadium was vacant between the Colts departure and the Ravens arrival. The stadium was not actually vacant following the Colts departure since the Orioles continued to play baseball at Memorial Stadium through the 1991 MLB season. The stadium would host one more season of professional baseball in 1993 as the Bowie Baysox, the Orioles Double-A affiliate, played one season of minor league baseball at Memorial Stadium. The NFL returned to Memorial Stadium for one preseason game in 1992 between Miami and New Orleans. Finally, the CFL’s Baltimore Stallions played at Memorial Stadium from 1994-95 prior to the Ravens arrival in 1996. Prior to the stadium’s permanent closing after the 1997 NFL season, 1992 was really the only calendar year where Memorial Stadium didn’t have a full time tenant.

The sound of 70k plus fans stomping their feet. I didn't think I was going to make it out alive. Many years later I went to a game at the new stadium and it was like meh, okay. Still had a winning team at the time with Jake Plumber at QB I believe, but it was no where near the same experience.

[@TrinityShoji]

Honorable mention- Detroit, when the team is a legitimate playoff contender. At both the Silverdome (pre-2002) and Ford Field, it gets really loud when the Lions have a shot. Why? Because the fans are diehard enough to follow a perennial bottom-feeder and want to see their loveable losers win. Have you ever heard of a team being threatened to have a timeout taken away for their crowd being too loud? (Jets, 1997) It seriously gets louder than the college stadiums in Michigan. Considering that includes the largest stadium in the country, that's really saying something

Personally, I say that if you have the right personnel for it, and your team is good enough to get away with it then, by all means, I don't mind playing in a dome. I mean, my favorite team is the New Orleans Saints and we have arguably the best indoor Home Field Advantage in all of football right now. Since Sean Payton came to New Orleans, we've only lost twice at home in the playoffs and before that, we were undefeated at home in the playoffs. But I think you'll find some tough teams that play inside of domes and you can't call them soft. The Saints of the '90s come to mind, with the Dome Patrol Defense and sending 4 linebackers to the Pro Bowl (which has never happened before or since), and the Houston Oilers of the '70s with Earl Campbell and that defense they had damn sure weren't soft. It just comes down to what kind of team you are, and again, the kind of personnel you have offensively and defensively.

Yankee Stadium also could get windy although in the '62 championship it worked against the Giants as they were a passing team. Y.A. Tittle couldn't do anything in those 40 mph gusts and the G Men's only score came on a blocked punt recovered for a TD. Packers won 16-7.

Home field advantage can be simply measured with simple statistics. And sample size matters, too. Even with 30 year statistics (the vikings are number one with plus 62 wins), their can be a margin of variation due to chance. I love actually studying this. Others rely on their memory.

Glad they pointed out the difference in Denver’s record home vs away. I won’t bicker with the list much, as I’m only talking about one spot, but Mile High Stadium was THE biggest advantage. I’m a fan of a common opponent of them. Nearly every time they visited our house, we slaughtered them. I think Elway won a few times, as my team sucked then. But mostly, we’d steamroll Denver every time they came to town. I can’t remember the last time my team won in Denver. It could’ve been the miserable Griese Era and they’d roll us. I’ve never seen a bigger home field advantage than Denver. Some of these are overrated. For example, the mentioned Pittsburgh’s superb home winning percentage. Sure, but were they below 500 on the road (Denver was)? Of course not. Not even close. You need to look at the spread between home and away record. Like Denver’s home record wasn’t as good as Pittsburgh’s but that’s just because Pittsburgh is a better team. It’s called home field “advantage”. How much better are you at home? I’d bet the team with biggest home field advantage in NFL history is Denver, mostly at Mile High Stadium. I remember MANY of their good years when they were good ONLY because of their home record. They’d go 4-4 on the road; 7-1 at home and win the division with an 11-5 record. That was routine for over a decade… not cherry picking one season. And as an AFC competitor it was frustrating. The reason they had that long string of Super Bowl losses is because they simply weren’t the best team in the AFC, and they don’t get to play the Super Bowl in Denver. They’d ride their home field advantage to a padded record, so they could get home field advantage throughout the playoffs… roll their AFC opponents in Denver… then get clubbed like a baby seal in the Super Bowl. I was actually glad when they won their two Super Bowls… not because I liked them or Elway, but because they were finally teams worthy of a Super Bowl and they didn’t embarrass the AFC. (And, yes, Denver fans, I *am* aware of their few road wins on their paths to the losing Super Bowl appearances, but they were rare. Yes, I know, I know… they could win on the road, it just wasn’t very common.). That’s really grating when you’re fighting to move on the playoffs and a clearly inferior team beats you. Denver was usually that inferior team dumping superior teams by virtue of their home field advantage. Erase that home field advantage in the Super Bowl and they got slaughtered (again, yes, I know they’ve won a few since that ugly stretch, but I exclude those as the home field advantage was just a bonus those years… in those seasons Denver was truly good and earned it. But in EVERY Super Bowl loss they were not the best AFC team and didn’t deserve to be there. Even in one of their wins, I don’t believe they were the best. The two Elway wins…. Tip of the cap… they earned those two. Every other time they simply robbed more worthy teams via that home field advantage.) If you’re a fan of ANY other team in the AFC, it’s sickening.

[@steves9964]

I couldn't agree more. Denver rarely had a subpar season because at minimum they'd split their home games. If they were a bad team, their home field made them mediocre. If they were mediocre, the home field made them good. If they were good, the home field made them great. They weren't truly a great team until they broke through and won, or perhaps the year before they went back-to-back when ironically they were upset at home by Jacksonville. I think overall Denver's 1980s Super Bowl appearances (as well as Buffalo's in the 90s) were not only generated off of their great home field advantage, but also off of the generally weak AFC in the late 80s/early 90s which really coincided with the regression of the longtime AFC elite in Miami, Pittsburgh and the Raiders. Those teams were consistently good for many years but by the mid-80s they were all in decline. You alluded to it above in that one of Denver's Super Bowl seasons (I think 89) they were the only team in the AFC to win 10+ games. It was pretty much etched in stone that the AFC would get curb-stomped in the Super Bowl and unfortunately it was Denver (and Buffalo) that absorbed most of it.

Is it any wonder that 3 of the top ten home field advantages are all from The AFC WEST Division. That is why it's usually dominated by one team for stretches to because whoever has home field wrapped up the earliest plays at home. Early 70's were the Al Davis "Just win at any cost guys", The Chief recently and from abot 83-90 it was John Elway and either Dan Reeves or later Mike Shannon. It's also why the AFC WEST has the most "sweeps" of division teams.
