Home Field Advantage Analysis

[LAZ]

OK. I've done my best at this. Going over the past 10 seasons and looking at 400+ schools that do not play on neutral sites (ie Traz Powell, etc.). I have come to the conclusion that there is a home field advantage, albeit ever so slight.

I just looked at the state finals played from 1988 and prior.  Some of them were played at neutral sites, but most were played at one school's home field.  Of the latter, looks like home team won 49 times and visitors won 42 times, so very close.  Surprised me, because back in the day some of those finals involved some substantial travel and I would have thought the home team would have won more often than they did.
