How does the NCAA chose the home site for the semis?  Concord is a 1 seed, yet they are playing away at Minnesota-Mankato, a 2 seed.

I think I had read at some point that generally the NCAA will go with the seed but sometimes adjusts based on the facility and average attendance (i.e. if you get more people in the stands during the season you are more likely to be the home team (and have a bigger crowd for the game)).

That does hold true for the stats on both of these teams (Mankato attendance avg 3786; Concord 1578)
