I smell some big traffic jams on I-64. I like Hampton and HU, but this move doesn't make sense. Same goes for moving 3/4A games from Lynchburg to Williamsburg.

EVERY VHSL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME SHOULD BE PLAYED IN LYNCHBURG OR CHARLOTTESVILLE.
These 2 venues are the most centrally located in the state according to my map.

This coming from the guy who can't navigate Broad Street in Richmond & the giant parking deck across the street from VCU's Siegel Center!

You should also consider population center, not simply geographic center.

That said, it definitely will be more traffic volume in Hampton. Williamsburg won't have any sort of "bad traffic" for the 3A/4A games. Honestly though, people who don't use Waze or Google Maps to avoid traffic backups deserve to be miserable in traffic.
