Portland Timbers: There’s No Place Like Home

The Timbers away record isn’t inspiring.

0-4-6. They’ve taken six points out of a possible thirty away from home. That’s a porous 20%.

Well, something has to be working if the Timbers are still in the hunt for a playoff spot.

They’re 6-2-1 at home. Quite the difference.

I’ve always been intrigued by what makes a team a good home/away team? What’s the limiting factor in the equation?

I honestly believe it might be the tifos.

Would it be possible to imagine having a bad game when you’re stepping onto the pitch at Providence Park suited in the colors of Oregon’s forests, as you listen to the rumble of the Timber’s Army?
