Sectional travel is fine. There are a few long distances, but it's a blind draw so live with it early in the tournament. In regionals and semi-state however, neutral sites should be used if distance is over a certain amount. 2.5-3 hours for a 7:00 game is simply undoable for lots of people who would like to attend. If it requires early dismissal to get to a game site with adequate time to dress, warm up, etc. then it should be neutral at an agreed upon site.
