Why doesn’t the 3-4-3 work at home? Will our home record improve?

It doesn't? We played 6 games with 3 in the back, twice at home, netting 4 points. On the road, 10 points in 4 games.

In those two home games, our xGt was 0.98 to 0.56 in our win against Chicago and 1.35 to 0.57 in the draw to Orlando (should have been a win).

Yeah, also against Chicago we went with the 3-4-1-2 version instead of the 3-4-2-1 that we've had more success with, and which I think is more entertaining.

So what was wrong, aside from no Heber, about the other home games that Dome says fans aren't analyzing the game and just looking at the score?
 
so random question, where does the away team get into YS? is it the same area where we see the players give autographs to fans in the behind the scene videos? I assume they come in a bus and then the bus picks them up hours later.

I'm scratching my head here. There were three home games without Heber and with a completely different formation and tactics, and they were all draws, including two against two of the best teams in the league (LAFC and DCU). How can you say today's system doesn't work at home and use evidence from a time when we played a different system with different players and didn't even perform all that poorly?

They come into the loading dock, which is next to where the players give autographs. They exit in an area that's not accessible to fans.

just asking for potential space issues in the GAL site. like are teams going to be dropped street level and walk in side? since there will be potentially be little to no parking

The stadium is going to have a loading dock, or a private entrance of some kind. You don't need a parking lot for a bus entrance.

not a parking lot, but a space for them to go in and out, so many stadiums have entrances for buses trucks that go underground.. just space is cramped as it is just curious on logistics.
