Homefield Advantage

[wagon596]

As all sports are beginning to start up again, with no fans in the seats, will there really be a
"Homefield Advantage"? Other than sleeping in their on beds, I really don't think there will be. What do you think ?

Being strung out from travel can certainly affect performance, but your question is interesting. Are there certain stadiums that, even empty, would be imposing? I guess I can't think of any. It would be interesting to look at the end of season stats to see if there is any change.

I´d imagine that even behind closed doors (in football) "homefield adventage" still applies when home team is weaker and/or weather is also quite bad that day and/or the pitch itself is in awful condition aswell and so on ..

The home arena is of key importance, the number of fans and the situation itself.
