[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 946947, member: 7261"] I think it still does, maybe not as much as it used to, but there is still an advantage. Just depends on how you measure said advantage. If you are measuring strictly in wins...the Packers were 8-1 at Lambeau this year and 5-4 on the road. Home field advantage? Oh but some only want to measure it in cold weather, in the playoffs and only when the Packers are at home, to hell with them on the road. These same people want to say that the Packers lost all the games that they had a decided advantage in at home...one game the 49'ers. Put all that aside. Just how one measures this advantage is important and I for one don't agree that you measure it with wins and losses. Todays players are in much better condition than they were 40 years ago. Teams hire specialists, to study how to best prepare their players for road games. Many players have been on several teams and have experienced playing in cold weather at some point in their careers or at multiple stadiums, so they know a bit of what to expect. So maybe the road or the cold doesn't effect the visiting players as it once did, but I contend that it still is an advantage to play at home. [/QUOTE]
