I love this study! There’s long been a debate as to what degree crowd noise has an impact.
I hope someone reproduces this study with the 2020 college season.
The article mentions there’s been a downward trend in homefield advantage in the nfl due to improving travel technologies and better, less quirky stadiums.
But I imagine college programs don’t travel as luxuriously and can’t haul as much equipment as nfl teams, and college stadiums/visitor facilities may be more quirky than in the nfl, so I’d be curious to see the extent of homefield advantage for college teams this year.
