Home-field advantage · Chattanooga · 2018–present · FBS opponents
Chattanooga is worth +11.2 points more at home than on the road.
Top tenth of FBS, 100th percentile of 133 programs
50% at home, 0% away against FBS opponents since 2018 (1–1 home, 0–10 away). Interval ±12.3.
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, Chattanooga has beaten the number by +4.7 more at home than away over 50 games — inside the ±9.5 that many games can resolve. Results here cannot tell the flat number apart from the building, and that is the honest reading of nearly every FBS stadium.
Finley Stadium seats 20,668 and has averaged 36% full (7,343, 11 games reported). Visitors cover a median 180 miles to get here (2018-present).
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 37 home games since 2018. No national trip rank shown: the ranked field is FBS venues only and leaves out the service academies and venues with too few measured games.

Chattanooga’s breakout has happened before — and the 4 closest all held onto theirs.
Programs whose stature climbed in the same shape. The grey line is their run; the color is what came next for them.
An analogy on the shape of a program’s Zeitgeist stature arc — not a prediction. Interim calibration, medium confidence; matched among current FBS programs at a comparable level.
