You're confusing a loud stadium with actual home-field dominance. The Bounce House hasn't translated to consistent Big 12 title contention, let alone a national presence. Atmosphere is great, but real advantage is measured in championships and protecting your field against elite teams. Your place gets rocking for a big game, but so does Boone Pickens or Mountaineer Field. The portal era means every program is rebuilding culture annually, including yours. That "stable core" you mention just got rolled by a mediocre team last year in your own house. Design is one thing, but sustained winning is what truly builds an identity.
