Outdoor venues are cool, but should only be played early in the season and with high quality teams that likely won't have to worry about making the dance. Too many variables to put on late when a team could need a marquee win or with a mid-major needing a resume win early. They have largely done this right by those standards.
Football venues shouldn't host basketball games. Its awful. Play in a big basketball stadium and if everyone that wants to go can't fit, that's the price of a big sporting event.
