As we’ve seen, the team with the overall best and worst home advantages in our research were both found in the NFL, the New England Patriots and the Denver Browns.

The Pats won 34 games at Gillette Stadium over the past five seasons, winning 34 and losing just six, with no ties.

In contrast, the Cleveland Browns lost more than twice as many games as they won at the FirstEnergy Stadium, with a win percentage of just 30%.

In Major League Baseball, the team with the biggest home advantage over the past five seasons was the Los Angeles Dodgers, who won 63% of their home games in the past five years, with 255 wins and 151 losses.

The Cincinnati Reds have the smallest home advantage, winning 192 and losing 213 for a win percentage of 47%, which is only 16% less than the Dodgers.

Basketball was the sport with the highest overall home-field advantage that we looked at, with the home team picking up the win almost 60% of the time.

The team that benefits the most from this advantage is the Golden State Warriors, one of the most successful teams of recent times, who won 84% of their games at Chase Center, closely followed by the San Antonio Spurs on 82%.

The Phoenix Suns hold the worst record, with 72 wins and 132 losses at home, so will be hoping that their potential $230m renovation of Talking Stick Resort Arena will help matters on the court.

Teams in the NHL have the least home advantage of the four sports that we looked at, with the home side winning 52.8% of the time and it’s been suggested one of the reasons for this is that hockey referees don’t make as many foul calls, calls which are likely to be affected by a lively home crowd.

The hockey team with the biggest home advantage is the Tampa Bay Lightning, with winning 69% of games at the Wells Fargo Centre, while the Buffalo Sabres won just 40% of their home games.
