Instead of having on campus have them in new AA, AAA, or Spring training facilities. Win the regional you get to play in a "pro" yard. Which most of these guys will never get to play in.
Examples
Zephyr
AutoZone
Brickyard
Disney
Durham
Buffalo

why would you want college teams not playing in college parks?

I don't support. One of the main things about hosting a Super regional at Ole Miss is the atmosphere of Swayze.

If you could make it out so LSU would be in New Orleans, Ole Miss in Memphis, ect. it might work. But if it turns out like basketball, it would be an attendance disaster. Very few schools actually have traveling baseball fans

Because for one the AAA facilities would be more than half empty for these game and two the majority of SEC teams that usually host have as nice of or nicer facilities than most AA teams.

You're costing the local economies of all the college towns money too... This is a horrible idea... Back to the drawing board.

Again bowl games are usually 25% empty as are the arenas in NCAA first round BB games.
The rationale you're using are what they tried to use to keep regionals on campus and they switched.
It's a bid system and it would expand the sport and be a $$ maker for the NCAA
Plus in the Supers both teams are guaranteed to be home with coin flip for game 3,

I find the way they do the first rounds of the NCAAT to be a joke as well. Nothing says playoff basketball like hearing the echo of the ball being dribbled.
And the crowds would be drastically smaller percentage wise in baseball than they would be for either football or basketball.

The pod system is stupid I agree but when they had teams matched in true brackets it wasn't as bad.

If we couldn't drink in the stadium like LSU I might agree with you, but super regionals at Ole Miss are in my opinion the most fun event that ever happens on campus.
I completely disagree with you.

you should have less "thoughts"

There are about 5 schools in NCAA who can sell out baseball stadiums, lets make all of them play on the road in minor league parks
