On offence I think it gives you more options as you have more field to work with. You may know this already but if the ball carrier is tackled outside the hash marks, they start the next play on the hash marks. With the old the hash marks that were wider, the throw to the far sideline was so far that the wide receiver on that side is almost always just a decoy. So by keeping the ball closer to the middle of the field, you have more options on both sides, and can be a little more balanced in your attack.
Field goals are also easier as well since they are closer to the middle of the field.
