With Australia leading the world in having multiple teams based in the same stadiums surely we need to be leading in technology that emulates home ground advantage.
Stadiums like ANZ Stadium and Docklands both have retractable seating to allow for rectangular sports like rugby, soccer and league.
We can take this a step further. In football we have multiple teams based at stadiums in almost every state. The home ground advantage is gone for many of them. I suggest that we start considering stadiums that have both retractable wings, and retractable ends such that the field size can be altered based upon whom the home team is.
The main benefit for this is is that the teams style of play will alter for their home grounds, and also will need to be adapted for when they play other teams.
This is on top of other initiatives such as team coloring the stadium, playing home team music etc.
