CA SB486

Requires the California Interscholastic Federation to hold all state football championship games at neutral locations comparable to other championship games.

Defines "neutral location" as a venue or site that is not the home ground of either competing team.

Allows exceptions for circumstances outside CIF control including strikes, facility damage, natural disasters, epidemics, accidents, riots, government orders, or sudden facility contract cancellations.

Aims to eliminate home field advantage disparities and ensure equitable playing conditions for all divisions, particularly lower divisions that historically play at substandard facilities.

Addresses safety and facility quality concerns by requiring championship games be held at venues like college stadiums with better medical facilities and field systems.
