Agreed.
Seems to me like RPC's are very hesitant to take the step to try different venues out. I understand it's hard to replace a 60 team venue, but if we are talking 40-45 team Regionals, a lot of High Schools will do the trick and could be more flexible than a college/university.
Based upon this thread, poor scheduling can impact teams significantly, so finding some flexibility in venues seems like an important aspect that RPC's should consider.
