      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.

      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!

    I believe we need two lists here, one each for former stadiums and one for current stadiums, and an update.
    At the least, I'll add a rather little-known venue for the former list - Universal Stadium, where the Portsmouth Spartans had a record of 20-2-4 (.909, as ties were not counted in the standings until 1972) during 1930-1933 (NB: the team relocated to Detroit and were rebranded the Lions in 1934).
    Surely, that qualifies as a serious homefield advantage.

    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.

    I remember the Dolphins/Bears game in 1985, watching it on TV. And yes, that place was absolutely LOUD. I think the QB had to call at least two timeouts in the first half because he couldn't yell loud enough for Chicago's offense to hear him.

Paul Brown Stadium & Great American Ballpark both sit where Riverfront used to be, as the Reds & Bengals played there. I saw both play, in that stadium. It was wild to see the transformation, of the seats.

    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.

    With respect to all other teams & fans, Lambeau Field was always gonna be #1 by a mile.
    1) The fans/ town literally own the team.
    2) The team and field is intrinsic to the history of the game.
    3) They've sold out every home game for decades
    4) They got from the '60s into the new millennium before losing a home playoff game.
    Can't top all that.

I use to be a diehard. If my team lost dont speak to me, I didnt want to hear about the sport that week. I wanted opponents best players to get hurt, i wouldn't cheer or want anything serious, but its still had. I would get upset and stress watching games, if we were winning it was expected so eh. But what did their winning do for me. I could talk about the accomplishments of others like my own? Being a fan is a burden and teams are suppose to represent the fan. Players play because they get paid, coaches coach to get paid, and so goes the industry and who pays for all of it? I still watch sports, but I dont hate other teams anymore,. except the patriots. i watch the game for the game, not because i want an outcome. Oh and I know two former players, and they have to get up and goto work everyday. They both will tell you about how alot of fans are awful.

    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
      @steves9964 Před rokem

      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.
