Home Advantage and Crowd Attendance: Evidence from Rugby
Home advantage and crowd attendance: Evidence from rugby during the Covid 19 pandemic Fernando Delbianco ∗1,2, Federico Fioravanti †1,3, and Fernando Tohmé ‡1,2 1Instituto de Matemática de Bahía Blanca, CONICET - UNS, Bahía Blanca, Argentina 2Departamento de Economía, Universidad Nacional del Sur, Bahía Blanca, Argentina 3Departamento de Matemática, Universidad Nacional del Sur, Bahía Blanca, Argentina Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic forced almost all professional and amateur sports to be played without attending crowds. Thus, it induced a large-scale natural experiment on the impact of social pressure on decision making and behavior in sports fields. Using a data set of 1027 rugby union matches from 11 tournaments in 10 countries, we find that home teams have won less matches and their point difference decreased during the pandemics, shedding light on the impact of crowd attendance on the home advantage of sports teams. 1 Introduction A traditional song chanted by fans in many sport fields in support of their teams says “You’ll never walk alone”1. The crowds chant it to encourage their teams, believing that this will give them the strength to beat the opponent. The idea is that a strong support by the fan base at the stadium can lead to a victory. It is natural to think that such support will be stronger if the game is played at the home stadium. In fact, several studies confirm that home teams have an advantage (known in the literature as arXiv:2105.01446v1 [econ.GN] 4 May 2021 home advantage (HA)) over the away team. It has been furthermore shown that HA leads to a higher winning rate or at least to a larger point difference.

Fauci Says NFL Season Hopes Rest on Virus, Test Response Virus Will Make the Decision for Us: Fauci
18 Established 1961 Sports Wednesday, May 13, 2020 Photo of the day Italian golfers swing again as lockdown eases FASANO: One of Italy’s best known golf clubs has reopened after two months of lockdown with a handful of players returning to the links under new social distancing rules. San Domenico Golf in Apulia in the heel of Italy’s boot and neighbouring luxury resort Borgo Egnazia reopened at the weekend but face an uncertain future. “We closed at the beginning of March,” said Aldo Melpignano, owner of Borgo Egnazia, where Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel held their wedding in 2012. “But this week the Apulia Region allowed some individual sports to resume and golf is one of them. We jumped at the chance and decided to reopen immedi- ately at the weekend.” The resort and golf club will initially rely on Italian guests but hopes that foreigners will soon also return. “We’re resigned to this reali- ty at least for the summer,” he said. Notable changes in the rules on the greens are that players must keep at least three metres apart when hitting the ball and not remove the flag from the hole. European Tour professional Francesco Laporta has returned to training in the open after two months of hit- ting balls into a net in his garden. Laporta hopes the season will resume again at the end of July. “There will certainly be new rules to respect,” he said, including the lack of spectators. “I think the caddie will be able to keep on following us, working close to us,” he ROME: Red Bull Sailing led by double olympic gold medalists Roman Hagara and Hans Peter Steinacher compete in Italy.
