It goes hand-in-hand with the disproportionate home record over the past 30 years. It's far better than any other team..it's why they hover around .500 even when they arent very good.
I wondered, back in the Schottenheimer years...why they didn't just move practice to Colorado for the week. Let the team get acclimated to the thin air...
It must be nice to have a natural occurring drug...that makes every member of the visiting team prematurely tired.

That's 100% true. I go to Denver every summer and I can barely breathe if I go out for a run.
