We don’t really talk about home field in baseball the same way we do in other sports, and I think that’s probably for good reason. Thinking especially about a sport like football where home field is treated as a massive deal, there isn’t the same kind of verbal play-calling in baseball that can be disrupted by a loud crowd. It’s also not the same kind of viewing experience, being a much more flow-y and relaxed vibe outside of a handful of ultra-tense moments as compared to a sport where giants crash into each other for a few hours. It’s not hard to see why the crowds would be different.
