Does it make a huge difference for the players on the field?
What I can compare it to was hockey that I played, but it really wasn't a fair comparison because our schools shared like 3 rinks.
So while there were home and away teams, there really wasn't a true home-ice advantage.
Needing to go to silent count on offense is far from ideal. The Bengals had quite a few false starts last year until they figured it out. Even Burrow couldn't hear some of the play calls in his helmet because of the noise. Fans of KC and Buffalo certainly figured out how to help their team by drowning out snap counts and audibles.
