Recommended Posts

Home advantage in sports has long been touted as a major factor in building a platform for success. When there is talk about turning a stadium into a “fortress”, it means that a location has an impenetrable feel about it, because the team that resides there, rarely ever loses on home turf.

I realize this article is just a regurgitation of facts, such as the capacity of a stadium, so of course tiny Autzen can't be as "rowdy" as much larger stadiums like Ohio State's, Pen State's and LSU's. Of course facts would indicate just that.  But, not so fast.

 

That Autzen, ask former Michigan coach, Lloyd Carr, can be the worst experience he's ever had, speaks about the rowdyness of Autzen, That nearly doubled in size Autzen can be just as loud as Penn State's crowds pushes the Rowdy factor clearly to Autzen's side. 

 

Penn State's cool thing is for everybody to wear white shirts. Wow!

My Duck-Buddies, above is a "Pay" article that I have to do in order to pay the bills. We had some generous donations recently to help with the upcoming site platform upgrade, and I am very grateful to all who chipped in to help.

 

I thought the article above did have some interesting stuff about the "bounce," effect at Autzen, and it is nice to hear that the latest EA Sports game has moved our home field advantage up in their settings. Perhaps all the talk from the Ohio State game had an impact?

 

Anyway, the SEO/Ad Agency that sent me the article is located in Riga, Latvia!

 

Where is Latvia

Where is that? Right between Estonia and Lithuania of course!
