Home-field advantage · Northern Iowa · 2018–present · FBS opponents
Northern Iowa is worth +7.1 points more at home than on the road.
Top tenth of FBS, 92nd percentile of 133 programs
33% at home, 12% away against FBS opponents since 2018 (2–4 home, 2–15 away). Interval ±9.9.
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, Northern Iowa has beaten the number by +1.2 more at home than away over 42 games — inside the ±9.2 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.
UNI-Dome seats 16,324 and has averaged 55% full (8,965, 12 games reported). Visitors cover a median 370 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 41 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.
