Home-field advantage · North Carolina Central University · 2018–present · FBS opponents
North Carolina Central University is worth +49.4 points more at home than on the road.
Top tenth of FBS, 100th percentile of 133 programs
100% at home, 0% away against FBS opponents since 2018 (2–0 home, 0–5 away). Interval ±8.5.
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.
O'Kelly-Riddick Stadium seats 10,000 and has averaged 89% full (8,891, 8 games reported). Visitors cover a median 204 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 34 of 36 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.
