Home (sports)
In sports, home is the place and venue identified with an athletic team. Most professional teams are named for, and marketed to, particular metropolitan areas; amateur teams may be drawn from a particular region, or from institutions such as schools or universities. When they play in that venue, they are said to be the "home team"; when the team plays elsewhere, they are the away, visiting, or road team. Home teams wear dark colors or their alternate jersey. If they stray away from this, they will be asked to change; if they refuse, they will be fined.
