One of the biggest home-field advantages in sports is considered Mexico’s national football stadium, the Estadio Azteca, and a big part of that is its elevation.

That is presumably even more true for England, where the highest elevation is 3,209 feet (978 meters).
Estadio Azteca is at an elevation of approximately 7,220 feet (2,240 meters) above sea level. By comparison, El Paso, considered to be at a high elevation, is 3,800 feet.
