Interesting that with one exception it is completely tiered by league. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 7, 08:28 2
- Yeah, I'd think home field would be more advantageous in MLB than NBA but its completely opposite. *does the Hoosiers speech* -- nm - crash davis Sep 7, 08:30 1
  - There are so many games, it evens out. Meanwhile, wtf Dodgers? -- nm - jnine Sep 7, 08:37
It is important to note that this is probability of beating an EQUAL CALIBER opponent at home. The Nuggets aren't beating Golden State at home -- nm - crash davis Sep 7, 08:21
That guy is dumb! Philly is at the bottom of all the lists -- nm - decline Sep 7, 08:14 6
- Even the Phillly players want to get away -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 7, 08:16 5
  - Philly Special! -- nm - decline Sep 7, 08:17 4
    - Listening to them get booed at halftime last night, I'm glad Philly fans never change. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 7, 08:18 3
      - Even Collinsworth mentioned the booing and laughed. Ahh Philly. -- nm - Shaun Sep 7, 08:39 1

      - well, they sucked in the 1st half! -- nm - decline Sep 7, 08:36
Am I reading this right - 3 Denver teams have the best home field in their respective sports? nm - NiKlaus Sep 7, 08:12 5
- Yep, and the Avalanche are 2nd in the NHL behind Calgary (the 2nd most elevated city in the league) - Will Hunting Sep 7, 08:16
- Because of the altitude? -- nm - amoxy Sep 7, 08:16 3
  - It is probably a factor, but not the only one. The #2 and #3 teams in NFL are sea level teams -- nm - crash davis Sep 7, 08:25
  - The difference in my cardio since moving to sea level has been *amazing*. -- nm - Reagen Sep 7, 08:24
  - or the clouds of marijuana smoke -- nm - decline Sep 7, 08:17
