Can you say....? "It's all about MONEY."
Jack Trice/ Ames is big enough for regular season victories, but not for playoffs. Can you say...? "It's all about MONEY."

Here's some others that wouldn't make the cut:
As much as it would be great for the sport to see a game played in Ann Arbor, Mich., Tuscaloosa, Ala., or Lincoln, Neb., some of the logistical issues are just too severe.

You do realize that Hilton isn't big enough for NCAA games either, right?
We got a new Marshall here in town, and his name's Paul Rhoads, and the times, they is a'changin'.

Neutral site games are the only way to do this. Why would they split tickets? If you are going to have a home field advantage for being the top seed, the tickets should go to the home team first.

Playoff games should be played at neutral sites. Makes much more sense.

Iowa State has a good year in basketball, we play UCONN in the first round. Would you rather it be played in Ames, or Louisville?

In all other divisions of the NCAA, up the the semis at least, in some cases the finals, playoff games are played at the home of the higher seed.
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.

You're also talking about significantly less fans attending those games. I'm pretty sure the state of Iowa won't be seeing a BCS playoff game. In fact, I think a lot of those spots will be filled by big cities and professional football stadiums.
