Hypothetical Hosting Sites if the Regionals were Neutral Sites


Recommended Posts

Having fun watching everyone guessing the neutral sites for the OHSAA playoffs this upcoming weekend. I believe the first 2 playoff games had been hosted by higher seeds until this point if possible. That has been a change as all or all but the first round were neutral sites until they expanded to 16 teams in the 4 regions for all 7 divisions (what we call classes). How would it look for the regionals in Indiana this year? Looking to expand this to semi states after this weekend.

Or you could just seed the tournament and let the higher seed host.

Yes on seeding, but just the sectionals. Maybe I could be convinced on regionals, but rather see the regionals rotate which sectional winners play each other every year. Semi states as well. This is why I'd like to see neutral site regionals and semi state venues.

For Parke Heritage/Lutheran, I would say Plainfield over Cascade. Bigger stadium.

Good suggestion and one that makes sense.  I went with Cascade since it is a little more centrally located for Parke Heritage/Lutheran but it isn’t a significant difference.

How about the 12 Semi States this week? For the game I'm personally invested in, AC vs NJ, I'd say Logansport would have been a good neutral site.
