away game
Featured
Every day one two-word expression or compound word used in American English.
An away game means playing at the opponent's stadium or arena, where hostile crowds, unfamiliar playing conditions, and travel fatigue create obstacles.
Teams historically win fewer away games, a statistical fact that makes upset victories especially memorable. Traveling teams claim environmental disadvantages—raucous crowd noise, different field dimensions, time zones—yet winning on the road is considered the mark of a championship contender.
