What is 'home advantage'?
'Home advantage' is the advantage that the players of a team have at a home game.
Many people believe that the idea of doing better in one field verses another is purely
psychological. Of course, you have the support of many adoring fans cheering you on,
but players are also accustomed to their home fields. For example, in Colorado, the
altitude is much higher, which makes the air thinner. Because of this, the baseballs can
go flying out of the park! However, in the past years the statistics are showing that the wins
are more evenly split between home and away. When parks are being built now, they are
being built to all be fair.
