Black Hole Myth

[ftball3]

the raiders won more games away not at home. thats hardly a homefield advantage. They only ave. 11 points a game on off. at home.

From what I understand about the Black Hole, it has more an impact (and I use that term loosely) on your teams' fans than it does on your team.

Not according to what i always here from the media ,and they create"the myth". besides Iwas just stating facts.hardly pittsburg logic.

The fans created "the Black Hole," not the media. And if you have any doubt that it's a dangerous place for an opposing fan, then by all means; Go there wearing your Black and Purple.

Seattle is probably the toughest place to play as the opposition and that is based on the volume alone.

I don't think I have ever heard Oakland being described as a tough place to play over the past few years like Arrowhead.

In the new stadium? Non-factor.

I have confidence in our boys that they can go in there and play some sound football.

On a side note I would have to say Minnesota makes it the toughest for the opposing team, Oakland just makes it hostile to go and watch a game.

Oakland home games are like Halloween with too much beer

Same deal as old Veterans Stadium in Philly. The opposing fans were always in more danger than the team. I knew a guy that was a smack-talking Giants fan that insisted he was going to guy in full garb and talk trash. He was new to the area and this was his first trip to a game at the Vet...

He had to take a week off from work to recover from the post-game party the Philly fans had with him after the Eagles lost.

That sounds a little weird, especially if its an all guy thing.

[Dubs]

imo its not so much home field advanatge in the stadium as it is home field advantage because of the hella long flight there.
However their fans resemble their owner, just crazy

[Man Crush on Flacco]

It's more people forgetting that this is somehow still an NFL team, and they just decide to not show up for the game.
