Home-field advantage · Charlotte · 2018–present · FBS opponents

Charlotte is worth +1.7 points more at home than on the road.

Bottom third of FBS, 15th percentile of 133 programs

38% at home, 24% away against FBS opponents since 2018 (14–23 home, 11–35 away). Interval ±4.0.

95% intervalmodel 2.3 · books ~3Weakest home edge in FBSStrongest

Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge — per-team modelling was tested and did not survive scrutiny (why) — and the books use about 3. Against the closing line, Charlotte has beaten the number by 7.6 points less at home than away over 72 games — outside the ±7.2 that many games can resolve. This is one of the few buildings where the results say something the flat number does not.

Jerry Richardson Stadium seats 15,300 and has averaged 83% full (12,626, 24 games reported). Visitors cover a median 367 miles to get here since 2018 — 60th-shortest of 135 FBS venues, inside the ordinary range. 19% of the 2026 roster (20 of 103 located players) grew up inside 100 miles of the stadium.

Edge = half the gap between average home margin and average road margin, FBS opponents only, non-neutral games since 2018; the interval is 95%. Market line: closing spread, seasons with lines on file. Trip length is straight-line miles from the visiting team's campus to the venue, measured across all 45 home games since 2018.
