1) It has much more comfortable seating and you don't have to feel 'packed like sardines', as others have said.
2) It prepares the kids for the experience of playing in a bigger arena for whatever team advances to Rupp.
3) It eliminates homecourt advantage by being on a neutral court. As others have mentioned, not every school has the facility to host the regional, so even on a rotating system those schools (Betsy Layne, Paintsville, etc.) would get left out. This is more fair.

I will say that I do think one drawback is the loss of that special kind of atmosphere you got from being in a packed gymnasium, but the feeling in the Expo each of the last two years for the championship game was pretty amazing too.
It was the best feeling as a fan I've ever had!!
