Ultimately this idea will be shot down because of the fans. People don't like change.

I would actually argue that this is not a great business idea. The "neutral" site will likely not have anywhere near the number of box and luxury seats that the home team would have because they would likely be playing in a college stadium since it has to be a neutral site. Also, the home team would lose out on significant revenue, expecially big market northen teams like the skins, giants, chicago, that will never get to host a game due to climate.
Also, who gets the seats? Season ticket holders for the "home" team, or is it all up to grabs like the SB? The latter would REALLY stink since the superbowl is usually a lousy crowd since it is more about money than true fans.
I appreciate your position, but I stand by my opinion that this is a bad idea for both competitive, financial, and fan-centric reasons.
