Statistical advantage to night home games

Submitted by iawolve on
Sorry- I am full of questions today. Think about this one for a bit. I am sure if would be tough to argue against a night crowd being more rowdy. However, does that rowdy crowd translate into an advantage for the home team. I feel that it does for the sake that teams like to schedule big games at night to take advantage of the fact. So there are two questions here: 1) Is a night game an advantage for the home team? 2) If so, is Michigan at a disadvantage by not having more home night games?

is there really a such thing as "too wasted" for a football game? The crazier the better! Unless you're a sorority girl - then you'll probably leave at halftime.

there's only one way to figure this one out. Get out your pencil and start doing the research. It'd be a hell of a thesis project. Make sure you keep the domes (Minnesota and Syracuse) as outliers since weather is the same and presumably the noise is too.
