When you think of NFL home-field advantages, you think of the site: Arrowhead Stadium, Mile High, Orchard Park; it’s easy to give credit to the physical structure itself for how it can impact the opponent.
You can forget that the home-field advantage stems from 76,000 individuals who each have the passion it takes to yell on every third down, cheer for every good play, and participate in chants. Those individuals come to games because they’re passionate people who feel strongly about loving their local team.
That passion to be a part of something bigger than themselves doesn’t end with football games.
