This whole discussion of Kyle Field's lack of home field advantage has really perplexed me. Its not really that Herby and a lot of you think Kyle's home field advantage is overblown. What bothers me is how somehow A&M is being singled out on this. Check out this list of home field records vs road records.

A&M is more or less in the center. Meaning we win more at home than on the road compared to the teams further down the list. Below us? Texas, Bama, LSU, Georgia, Michigan, Auburn, Florida, Oregon, and South Carolina, and dozens more. All places that supposedly have great home field advantages.
In my opinion home field advantage is just overblown across the sport. Teams have figured out how to go into opposing stadiums and win. Your team is either good or it's not. The location doesn't matter half as much as most think.
