Home-field advantage · Louisiana Tech · 2018–present · FBS opponents
Louisiana Tech is worth +7.9 points more at home than on the road.
Top tenth of FBS, 97th percentile of 133 programs
58% at home, 27% away against FBS opponents since 2018 (21–15 home, 13–36 away). Interval ±3.8.
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, Louisiana Tech has beaten the number by +5.9 more at home than away over 72 games — inside the ±6.8 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.
Joe Aillet Stadium seats 28,019 and has averaged 61% full (17,015, 24 games reported). Visitors cover a median 346 miles to get here since 2018 — 50th-shortest of 135 FBS venues, inside the ordinary range. 25% of the 2026 roster (27 of 109 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.
