Abstract

The existence and justification to the home advantage – the benefit a sports team receives when playing at home – has been studied across sport. The majority of research on this topic is limited to individual leagues in short time frames, which hinders extrapolation and a deeper understanding of possible causes. Using nearly two decades of data from the National Football League (NFL), the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and high schools from across the United States, we provide a uniform approach to understanding the home advantage in American football. Our findings suggest home advantage is declining in the NFL and the highest levels of collegiate football, but not in amateur football. This increases the possibility that characteristics of the NCAA and NFL, such as travel improvements and instant replay, have helped level the playing field.

美式橄榄球主场优势综合调查

主场优势--运动队在主场比赛时获得的利益--的存在和合理性已在各种体育运动中得到研究。有关这一主题的研究大多局限于个别联赛的短时间内，这阻碍了对可能原因的推断和深入理解。利用近二十年来美国国家橄榄球联盟（NFL）、美国大学生体育协会（NCAA）和全美高中的数据，我们提供了一种统一的方法来理解美式橄榄球的主场优势。我们的研究结果表明，主场优势在美国橄榄球联盟（NFL）和最高级别的大学橄榄球比赛中正在下降，但在业余橄榄球比赛中却没有下降。这增加了一种可能性，即 NCAA 和 NFL 的特点（如旅行改善和即时重播）有助于公平竞争。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
