How important is homefield advantage in the FOF series ?
I'm just wondering.

Has Jim indeed placed some kind of "ratio" so that the home team might be enclined to doing more plays, or having better success out of them ?
Or is the road team having a "negative ratio" which makes being a little bit tougher for the team to complete set of plays which they might do more easily if they were playing in their own stadium ?...

I recently checked my stats (30+ year career) and saw that my winning percentage at home was much better than my road one's...is that correlated or pure hasard ?

I've wondered if possibly Jim has the game increase cohesion or give a slight bump in attributes (either across the board - crude, but would do the job - or subtle, like increasing endurance) for home teams.

Has anyone ever done a league-wide study to see what percentage of games are won by the home team? I'd be interested to see if there was one, and on top of that, wonder if any advantage would be attendance related - in other words, if your attendance is below a certain threshold, no home field advantage (see: Arizona Cardinals).
