Pugger Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Loud stadiums like Seattle can be hard for visitors mainly because they can't hear themselves think and the Seahawks defense has been so good. The altitude in Denver can be an disadvantage for the visiting team because if you aren't used to it you can get winded pretty easily. But other than situations like these HFA isn't as big a factor than how good the home team actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite what the media has programmed into people thinking with their "dome vs outdoor stats". This thread has to do with home field advantage, not anything to do with other dome vs. outdoor stats. Offenses score more and QBs do better in domes or retractable roofs - that's just a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What stats do you think the media has "programmed into people" regarding dome vs. outdoors? Nothing in regards to home field advantage, as far as I can tell. Link me if I'm incorrect.

Buddy and me were there for that Texans/Seahawks game of the year. Wow. Even sitting next to each other a foot apart, we couldn't hear each other. It's like being in front of the speakers at a rock concert, but the whole stadium is the speaker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked SF to win today and ATl. Both home teams! @biletnikoff- And I, Freddy, was referring to their current situation, viz. the 2017 season which is now ongoing, rather than the past, or the future. But thanks to your kind words I shall continue to hope! Ominously, they are heavy underdogs at home vs. the Kansas City Chiefs this week, but perhaps they will fool the experts and fulfill your expectations. https://www.bigblueview.com/2017/11/15/16652994/giants-chiefs-2017-week-11-odds-gambling-point-spread-giants-double-digit-underdogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzane Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 @biletnikoff- Ah, Freddy! Your Faith, and Hope, and Optimism have proven to be justified! The Giants, perhaps buoyed by your support, managed to upset the Kansas City Chiefs, and, at home, in the unfriendly confines of breezy Met-Life Stadium! I still do not think the Giants can be mistaken for an offensive juggernaut, BUT, your Belief in their ability to regain a home-field advantage was right! Kudos.
