The lakefront case got stronger last season. Home teams have won 3,905 of 6,967 regular-season games since 1999, but the edge keeps shrinking, from a 3.2-point average home margin in 1999 to 2.1 last year. Outdoor stadiums still depress scoring, 45.4 points a game versus 47.0 in domes across 2024 and 2025. MSI gets its museum campus and the Bears get a field where wind still counts.
