Home field advantage is the point of tying a team to a location, of not just cycling all the games around the country at all neutral sites. They ARE minding their manners, the correct thing to do is to yell and scream and support your team.

There is much more to home team advantage than screaming fans. Things like being at home and not on the road. Sleeping in your own bed, etc.

I do believe in supporting your own team but I do not believe in active interference with the game. I see loud screaming with the intent of interfering with the visiting teams snap count, audibles, etc., as essentially the same thing as trying to trip a runner or a fan batting a ball while the play is in progress. Of course, your mileage...
