Maybe soon SLE will be considered as alternate site to SL High. In 2007, the semi final at SL was OLSM vs. E. Lansing. To place that game in one of the other mentioned KLAA schools would have lost its neutralness. By putting the game in Howell, that may have favored E. Lansing.

In 2006 semi's at SL, I believe it was FH Harrison vs. Fowlerville. I totally agree that equal seating should be put into site consideration but it looks as though that's the way the brackets have fallen.

DCC played Walled Lake Western at South Lyon in the 2001 semi-finals. The seating there for the visitors was worse than CC's crappy home field at the time at a junior high in redford. ---- not that it was a huge drive for CC from Redford, but Walled Lake was easily closer.

The MHSAA does not seem to always look at location.

Here was the CC semi sites when I was in school

1995
CC vs. Sterling Heights Stevenson @ Chippewa Valley
1997
CC vs. Sterling Heights Stevenson @ Port Huron
199
CC vs. Sterling Heights Stevenson @ Port Huron

Port Huron was a decent drive for both schools, but quite a bit further for CC.

How about Chippewa Valley for a site though?

Stevenson - 7 mile drive
Catholic Central - 41 mile drive

I can't see how the picked those sites if they factored in location --- and neither had turf.
