The noise of the crowd influenced the observers to award fewer fouls against home players and more fouls against home players and more fouls against away players when compared with the groups receiving only visual stimulus. Noise many more fouls are called on the away player than the home player. Examined: the impact of fame location on team penalties not called by officials in the nhl. Measured: video analysis of 82 teams, number of non-calls measured. Found: no evidence of officiating bias in the nhl.
