Ive always thought the semi finals round should be neutral fields, or at least pre determined fields before the season starts, (and if one of those sites teams makes it to semis, good for them.)

Problem is using RPI makes that a challenge because with a re shuffle of the bracket a host site may not be home team. (example, lets say Trinity Louisville is selected as a semi finals site, but Trinity ends up as a road team in the re shuffle, how will hosting at Trinity but playing away work?)

It could be done, you only need 6 sites (there are 12 games to play, can play one game Friday night, one game Saturday, actually you could only need 4 sites and play 2 games at some sites Saturday.)

RAMDAD50 is right though, to hold those type of crowds, there are a small handful of sites, that logistically make sense.
