Do Stadium Upgrades Enhance a Team's On-Field Performance?

An analysis by The Tennessean has found no correlation between upgraded stadiums and on-field success in the NFL.

According to the paper's Nick Suss, 10 NFL teams have moved into brand-new stadiums since 2008. Three, including the Rams, relocated cities to get their new venues. One, the Minnesota Vikings, had to build a new stadium because the roof of their previous stadium collapsed. "The other six, like the Titans, built their new stadium for the sake of having modernized amenities and a better fan experience," Suss wrote. "Combine the 10 examples, and there's no correlation between moving into a new stadium and more winning. If anything, teams have tended to get a little bit worse in their new homes."
