There are two bottom line reasons I don't want the games played on campuses:

-I don't like giving a team home field advantage in a championship game unless it's a sport (or level of a sport) where a series is played. If it's a one game championship, no team should get an arbitrary coin flip home field advantage.

-Its an opportunity to put the game on the grandest stage possible. Seeing teams you've grown up watching actually play in a college/pro venue just adds to the championship atmosphere to me and I know for a fact from talking to former players who got to play in those games that getting to "play in the Dome/Benz" is something they remember for the rest of their lives.

I understand that it's farther from some schools than it is for others, but to me the positives far outweigh any negatives.
