Home-field advantage · Bowling Green · 2018–present · FBS opponents
Bowling Green is worth +1.7 points more at home than on the road.
Bottom third of FBS, 14th percentile of 133 programs
33% at home, 34% away against FBS opponents since 2018 (12–24 home, 16–31 away). Interval ±4.6.
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, Bowling Green has beaten the number by −3.7 more at home than away over 74 games — inside the ±7.6 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.
Doyt L. Perry Stadium seats 24,000 and has averaged 58% full (13,951, 24 games reported). Visitors get here easily: a median 163 miles trip since 2018, the 3rd-shortest of 135 FBS venues. There is no travel penalty on visitors here either way. 19% of the 2026 roster (19 of 102 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 44 home games since 2018.

Fourth-quarter reliability, corrected
Bowling Green's 4th-quarter offense, before and after garbage time
Raw Q4 EPA/play ranks 54th percentile in FBS. Strip out snaps taken with a blowout margin and it drops to the 46th — the correction is the finding, not a footnote.
