Elevation Home Field Advantage
Potential research lens for measuring whether teams traveling from lower altitude into high-altitude venues underperform relative to ordinary home-field expectations. Ty and Dan framed it as cleaner to quantify than body-blow or letdown theory because elevation is a measurable variable; the proposed work is to compare home/road spread deltas for altitude teams such as BYU, Utah, Wyoming, Air Force, Boise State, and Colorado State.
