Either way, it's mostly a myth. It's a way for fans to feel like they have some input, but it's mostly ineffective. Teams have just figured out over the years how to mitigate the impact. Teams that have a great HFA are just great teams. New England for example. They have an incredible HFA because they have been consistently loaded with talent and well coached. Not having to travel probably helps and a loud crowd (motivated by multiple SBs) contributes a marginal effect.
If you are waiting for them to get up to the line, its already too late. They know the call and the snap count. GEt them while they are in the huddle and never let up, now you create a little chaos. Thats what the 90s was like. The crowd NEVER let up.
