Home Field Advantage?
by Lizzie on 1/1/24Shouldn’t there be some sort of rule that a team can’t play a bowl game in their own stadium? It was essentially a home game for Memphis. The field, facilities, locker room, announcer, etc…. all familiar, not to mention no travel required. Unfair advantage from the start for the “home” team. The good: the Memphis community and fans we met were awesome and very welcoming. The website made it easy to buy parking and pre-game buffet tickets. Parking was easy and reasonably priced. Stadium was clean and had great food options. Good experience, but would have been better with the proverbial “more even playing field” for both teams.
