Guest JJBrickface Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Just wondering, why do you think that's BS? Because the majority of teams have to play at more neutral sites, some have to play very far away from their hometown fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokie07 11 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Because the majority of teams have to play at more neutral sites, some have to play very far away from their hometown fans. The selection committee tries to place them as regionally close to their hometown as possible. It helps with travel, ticket sales, etc. I believe that if a team plays well enough throughout the season then they should be rewarded with playing close to home. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Pitt plays in Pennsylvania also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The committee also looked at the economy to also try and keep teams close to home more this year than usual. Of course, not every team can be kept close to home.

BS LOL, UVA played UAB in a Birmingham regional one year. At least it isn't that bad. ;) Thankfully, I wasn't alive when this happened. But I agree, I dislike seeing teams playing right next door to their respective fanbases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
