Am I the only one who likes neutral site games

Yes, now GTFO.

which sport? I'm guessing football, I rather home home series rather than neutral site. Kinda like we did with West Virginia instead of one game vs Oregon. But I'm fine with it if we have to play them.

In other sports neutral site games are great because usually they are a part of round robin tournaments and usually you play better teams than if you play teams at home.

I don't mind every couple years. Oregon game in Dallas was fun. I think It should have been a true home/home with Wisconsin though.

Good national publicity against good teams.

Just as easy to get that in Tiger Stadium. I would think the exposure would actually be better for potential recruits watching on national TV.

I love them. BR is a heater at that point anyways. Love traveling to a big city with Monday off

i don't like losing a home game for a neutral site game.

I like them. or don't object is probably more accurate. the competition early in the year is better than a home game that time of the year, usually. national TV is assured, usually a very good time slot. that early in the season it's nice to have an inside game, too. I know it usually deprives us of a home game but all in all, I'm ok w/ it.

so if I had to pick between McNeese on labor day weekend in TS or, for instance, Okla St in Atlanta, I'd take the latter.

Neutral sites are like parasites that leech some of the essence of college football away from the sport. It's part of the evolution of the business side of the sport and,like many others, I hate it.

The entire purpose of having your own stadium with an AURA, is so you can showcase it on national television to fans and recruits. Its one of the ways you build a persona for the program. If no one wants to play at home stadiums they should just save money, tear them down and go to "rentastadium.com" to schedule the next neutral site match up.

UGA and Notre Dame are doing a home and away and I am glad they are not doing a pussy neutral site.

I like them. It makes for an exciting opening week and we always get a nice vacation out of it. It helps that we have won them all so far.

I used to be for them but then I realized what their net impact is: a significant reduction in good OOC games being played on college campuses.

In a vacuum I have no problem with, say, LSU playing Wisconsin in Houston. That's a good, appealing matchup. But I would prefer for that game to be played in TS (or Camp Randall), and the proliferation of neutral site games makes good OOC games less likely to be played on campus. Indeed a normal SEC schedule has only lousy OOC games being played on campus. So, for me, I am against the neutral site games because I see them as a net negative, not because the games themselves are bad.
