Below is every team's home field advantage, as measured by their point differential away vs. at home (so for example, Dallas over that time period has outscored teams by 4.77 points per game at home and been outscored by an average of 1.82 points per game on the road).

The time period is from 1994-2008, so for Dallas it would be the old stadium, not the new (need a bigger sample size for the current stadium). But for anyone who said that the old stadium wasn't a significant advantage is probably wrong. We did well at home there.

Also note that because of the relatively short time period, factors like the inability of the Greatest Show on Turf to play away from domes could have major effects, so it's not all about "crowd noise" or whatever.
