Sorry to start a new thread when there is one rolling around on this (although it is suffering thread degeneration syndrome...). I figured this would be well served by a new thread, however.
I remembered seeing a few articles on top stadiums before and I wondered if EA had used them in their research for the HFA feature...

Pretty close so far. While the articles aren't strictly about "Home Field Advantage" I would say that the stadium has a lot to do with that. It seems that EA isn't the only one who thinks that ND should be #2, even though I don't really see it being true.
Anyways, sorry for the long post, but I thought it was some interesting info.
