Home field

No stadium's own home field can be told apart from average.

What differs from one place to the next is the trip. The toughest visits are Hawaii, Colorado, Wyoming: a long way from anywhere, or a mile up, or both. The model's home field this season is 3.0 points; the list below is what a typical visit to each stadium has been worth on top of that.

This is a description of 2013–2025, built from 9,822 games between FBS teams. It was also tested as a change to the model — a different home field for every stadium and every trip — and did not predict games any better than one number for everyone, so the lines on this site still use one number.

What travels

Worth to the home sidePoints80% range
Per 1,000 feet of climb+0.6 +0.4 to +0.8
Per 1,000 extra miles+1.6 +0.9 to +2.3
Kickoff before 11am on the visitor's clock−0.3 −2.2 to +1.6
Empty stands (2020, against every other season)−1.9 −2.8 to −0.9

Altitude and distance are clear. The early kickoff that is supposed to catch a West Coast team asleep is not: its range runs well either side of zero. The empty stands of 2020 are the one clean measure of what a crowd is worth — home teams gave up about 2 points of their edge that year. Outside 2020 home field has held steady, +0.2 points a decade.

Every stadium

Home field is the total a visitor faces: the model's 3.0 points, plus trip & crowd (how far and how high visitors have come, and how full the stands usually are, against the average stadium), plus the stadium's own edge — how much better its team has played there than on the road, beyond all that. That last number is shrunk hard toward zero: a stadium sees about six FBS visitors a year, and games vary by sixteen points, so eighty games pin a stadium down to within two points at best while real stadiums differ by about 0.9. Hover it for the 80% range. No range clears zero.

Teams with fewer than ten home games against FBS opponents since 2013 are left off. Home records count every opponent, FCS included, and run through this season's games so far.
