I could go back and look but am to lazy right now. But South Lyon on a few occasions hosted a game when clearly other schools were more appropriate. Even using all the factors you used. I honestly believe that South Lyon has someone at the MHSAA with their intentions at heart. Just my little conspiracy theory of the day. It wouldn't be that big of a deal if it didn't give the home field advantage away that is does.

Do you mean in the State Semifinals? Those games aren't supposed to be or intended to be neutral. They are simply assigned locations based on a variety of factors the MHSAA considers, including something that is roughly geographically appropriate; a preference for artificial turf fields; facility availability (e.g., in years past Alma College has been in the D3 Playoffs and so their field hasn't been available); and facility readiness (e.g., a few years ago, Gaylord's field was torn to shreds and was not available for use; also a few years ago, Clare got bounced early and tore down their away seating and was not ready to host a game when it got that late into November).
