Are there any stats that show a home field advantage for the DFW teams or are we just making that up because we don't want to drive to Arlington? I know some losing coaches have brought it up, but does anyone have any data that shows an advantage? Also, how close does a team have to be to Arlington to get the advantage? I know Carthage played Kennedale a few years back and they could almost walk to the stadium. Do the Dallas area teams stay and home the night before and get up and go to the game? Wouldn't it be better to have your team in a hotel the night before so you can set curfew and make sure kids aren't out doing kid things?
With TV broadcasts, the games will stay at one location. And with them playing all games at one location, they have to be indoors to avoid weather delays screwing up the whole schedule. Sounds like NRG and the Alamo dome have to make changes to be considered. Also heard NRG kinda blew their shot in 2015 by gouging the UIL. I don't know that for a fact.
