I wished they would take away the Supers from campuses.

You could do that, but you wont ever get the atmosphere like having 11K at Baum, 15K at MSST, Box packed out to the parking lot and fans going absolute gonzo.

Also why would you take a super regional away from Baum, one of the best collegiate parks and put them in decent minor league stadiums that hold half as many?

There's supposed to be a homefield advantage, it's what you fight for in the season to get a good seeding.

College baseball isn't near as popular as you think. Fans from both squads aren't going to burn a weekend traveling a couple hundred miles for neutral site games and also here's the big thing you're not looking at. Yes, there's costs in renting those minor league stadiums, but MiLB isn't going to be able to change their scheduling up on a week's notice at all and if you schedule the sites a year in advance you'll end up with TCU playing LSU in San Jose or even worse you get a UC Irvine playing Indiana in Mobile.

This is one thing they have gotten right.
