What do they do up in the Homer Dome? Maybe I'm stupid, but I just don't know.

For several years, there have been stories about certain stadiums-most if not all domes.
That somehow air currents change-via HVAC or doors.
Said changes either help home team or hinder visitors.
Most of the stories I have heard or read, IIRC, are football related.

There was a base ball movie a few year back that seemed to have a scene that played off of the story:
Manager had lights/power turned off and called it a power failure.

Gotcha. I read (while trying to figure out what you were talking about) that they (MLB) have separate rules just for the Homer Dome re: balls hitting the ceiling and speakers b/c it's so low!

Either way, the tribe obviously didn't bring their "game winning strategy" (bugs or air currents) along with them to NY.
