I am thinking the Boston Garden, but probably a baseball stadium.

Red Auerbach's ghost still messes with the heat & hot water in the visiting team's locker room.

I would say the Seahawks.
The unfortunate design of that stadium gives a huge advantage to the home team. The runner up is the Denver stadium. I think that crowd noise that drowns out the visiting team’s signals is bush league behavior.
I would vote for the Metrodome the roof was almost the same color as the baseball and caused a lot of problems. It was also very loud, helping the Vikings.
Montreal Canadians at least if you were a boston bruin for about 50 years in one stretch
Yup. The thin air is a huge 2nd half advantage.
Hockey even more so - back in the day, the rink was smaller than the standard NHL rink.
Buffalo mafia. Winning or losing the stadium is full of fanatics. Unlike other NFL fans they are cordial to opposing fans.
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
IIRC didn't KC's Arrowhead stadium record the loudest fan decibel ever level last year or the year before?
Yes. The original, real Boston Garden. I feel blessed that I got to go there as a kid and watch both the Celtics and the Bruins. A tremendous "home court advantage". Many classic stories exist. Rowdy fans. Uncomfortable temperatures and conditions. Amazing teams.
I was thinking the same thing. Just ask the '87 Cardinals and the '91 Braves
And the parquet floor.
About 15 of us went into Buffalo Stadium back in 2007 for a game and outside of Bills fans yelling “Get some clam chowda” they really couldn’t come up with much else since we were chanting 0-4, it might of helped that we were all Jail guys and we had a few Monsters mixed in with us 😂
But at least you’re safe wearing a Patriots jersey, unlike some other stadiums.
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
I was “Safe” because we rolled in deep with 15 of us, although I actually saw some other random Pats fans wearing jerseys and I guess I didn’t see anything happen so maybe your right. I don’t go to enough games regardless so my exposure is too limited to make any comments. Buffalo was a good time, we stayed on the Canadian side of the Dam and that place rocked 👍👍

In the old Mile High Stadium there was plenty of "Rocky Mountain Thunder".
