I think this is a really, really bad idea. I’ve flown in for the tournament in the past. I won’t fly in for a championship game, and I definitely won’t fly in for the first weekend.
I like the move to have the fifth and fourth-seeded teams play each other instead of leaving a conference member out in the cold, but I don't like splitting it across two weekends. As you say: no single game is enough to fill a stadium to capacity, especially in May when classes are finishing up and students are leaving campuses.
