Fans influence sports outcomes through their emotional and psychological impact on athletes. The presence of a supportive crowd can enhance an athlete's performance, providing them with motivation and energy. For instance, studies show that home teams often benefit from crowd support, leading to a significant home-field advantage in various leagues [1][9]. Additionally, fan behavior can create pressure that either propels athletes to success or negatively affects their performance, highlighting the dual nature of fan influence [3][11].
