Hockey

edit: I remembered reading that the NHL has the highest of the 4 major american sports because of the sub rules during play stoppage. Apparently, the NBA wins.

Home team win % for last full season before 2/2007:
MLB: 54%
NFL: ~59%
NHL: 57%
NBA: 63%

Basketball seems to have a fairly pronounced home-court advantage too, but I'd lean towards hockey as well

i'd guess college has a bigger home field advantage than pro's, but i couldn't give you an exact reason.

Googled it. Could be total BS

“For example, in ice hockey and basketball, 64 per cent of games were won on home ground and for American football, home advantage accounted for 60 per cent of wins. There was a flurry of research after this.

Soccer emerged as having one of the biggest home advantages of any sport, with some studies estimating 69 per cent of games are won at home.”
