Give me your thoughts on why.

I believe the primary reasons, in order, are:

1) Referees are more impacted by the home team fans than in any other sport.
2) Depth perception inconsistencies due to the differences between the facilities where the games are held.
3) The extra energy the team has because of the home crowd's support.
