Once again I would like for anyone to explain how eku is any more central than wku. Hence the names both start with either eastern or western for a reason. I explain already it is every bit of a 5 hour drive at lite speed from Mayfield. You can add another 45 minutes from Fulton Co. Louisville was central but they don't want it.

While not the exact geographical center of Kentucky, Madison County/Richmond is close. When you figure in the fact that they have a facility capable of hosting multiple games on turf over 2 days, lodging, and a stadium that is just big enough not to dwarf crowds, but rather make the place seem packed, I guarantee you they are the best option when compared to someplace like Commonwealth or Papa Johns. Call me crazy, but I don't like going to games where it seems like the crowd doesn't even take up a fourth of the stadium/seating. Makes it feel somehow, a little less. I like it packed. Lets also face facts that Louisville is sometimes a horrible city to get around in (driving wise), I've lived there before, and that is undeniable. It is also more expensive generally, in terms of lodging. Like I've said before, with the location of the school, all the other factors, AND the fact that it is within a 3 hour drive of the MAJORITY of the state population, it is really the best option. No option is perfect. Someone is always going to have to travel, that is just a given. No disrespect at all intended for Western, just looking at this rationally. I feel for ya, Myson, for the almost 5 hour drive. But when you look at the map, cutting across on the BG Parkway from Elizabethtown, it is not really that much further than cutting up to Louisville from the same spot. A little, yes, but not a huge difference. It is a total 297 mile dry e from Mayfield to Richmond, and 227 from Mayfield to Louisville.
