In my opinion the home team crowd is nice, but the gymnasts lock them out and honestly I think some of them like the adrenaline rush. I think the real advantage is with the team being able to sleep in their own beds, get ready in their facility, and go through everything as if they are...
Wow, that is total homerism. How about this, do they have to bus or fly to a hotel? Do they have to sleep in a hotel prior to a meet? Have their team meals on conference space? Do stretch/conditioning/PT in makeshift room? Do they have to go through all the standard hassles and planning...
