Bumping this, because you know someone is going to post the question without bothering to scroll down.....
@GC Moderator maybe pin it? Idk just a quick suggestion.
And award @atl-cock a trophy for such a great idea.
Apparently, the NCAA has made some recent changes.So Tennessee not hosting, interesting.
For round one, only the top 8 hosts were called "national seeds." Now all 16 hosts are referred to as national seeds.
Until recently, if a national seed (again national seed = 1-8) won their regional they host the super (that they still do). But if they lost in their regional (e.g., Clemron), the NCAA would examine the hosting bids submitted by the paired regional winners and select 1 of the 2 to host. If only 1 of the 2 submitted a bid to host then that's where the super would be held. If neither winner submitted a bid, then the NCAA would find a neutral site for the super.
Now today, if a 1-8 National seed loses in its regional, the highest-seeded paired winner hosts. Since SOM (Southern Ole Miss) was a 1-seed and Tenn a 2-seed, Hattiesburg hosts.
Under the old system, it would be interesting to see who the NCAA would have selected to host. Similarly, had Texas Tech won the Gainesville regional, it would be interesting to see whether the NCAA would have selected Lubbock or Columbia to host.

If it doesn't work for Tennessee, I'm happy with it
Not doubting you, but I must be misunderstanding something. S Miss was in 13 Auburn’s regional. In what way were they a “1-seed”?
You're too kind. My bad - mind dump. I thought they hosted. Both UT & SOM were two seeds. I guess the NCAA liked Hattiesburg's bid better.

No worries. I was curious & found this per The Tennessean:
“Both Tennessee (41-19) and Southern Miss (45-18) submitted bids to host prior to the postseason, which included hosting a super regional. Neither team was a national seed, which meant the decision was made by the NCAA committee. NCAA media representative Jeff Williams said in a statement prior to the onset of the tournament that the committee would weigh the “merits of the bids” in selecting a host.”
I read that
I read that Indiana State could not submit a bid to host a Super Regional since their facility was already booked to host a Special Olympics event this weekend.
Now we can discuss what merits the NCAA is looking for, but I think we pretty much know what most of them are.
Apparently, Campbell University has a nice field (thank you Houston Astros for funding the stadium upgrade while you awaited Fayetteville to finish their stadium for your minor league club), but could they have added additional seats above their 1k capacity, and are there enough hotels in Buies Creek (but then again, Lexington had that issue)?
Thanks for sharing. Note that the Tennessean also refers to National Seeds as 1-8 (and not 1-16).

Not in Hattiesburg. The below link was posted yesterday, before the bid was awarded.
Will Southern Miss baseball host super regional? What to know about the NCAA process

Well, Southern Miss did have the 9th highest average attendance in the country this year compared to Tennessee's 15th ranking, so there is that. And, many bracketologists, including D1Baseball, thought Southern Miss would host a regional, so they appeared to have the better resume than Tennessee all around.
Also, I scanned the ESPN website. Apparently, even if you don't receive any of the ESPN "linear channels" (e.g., ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNNEWS, etc), through a cable/satellite/streaming service provider, all Super Regional and CWS action will be available on ESPN+
