It is the same for both teams, but it's not hard work to get the extensions and to put down temporary hash marks so teams get to play under the actual National Federation High School rules.  I've seen other games in Division I stadiums where they're able to get that done.  Feels like either the KHSAA or UK folks are just being lazy.

They are absolutely being lazy about it.  Zero reason why teams should play 14 games on NFHS regulation fields all season long and then play the most important game of the season on a field with completely different dimensions.  Don't care about "well, both teams have to play on it"; the point is, they shouldn't HAVE to, as the most important high school game of the season should be played on a regulation high school field, or else it becomes a substantially different game from what they've all played and practiced for all season (and yes, the same thing applies to a 94 foot college floor vs an 84 foot standard HS floor in the state basketball finals).  There is no justifiable reason to entirely disregard the NFHS rules for the finals, period, especially if it's being done for the convenience of the host or the apathy of the state association.
