Yeah, I think at this point its a bit of a holdover from when MLS Cup was a neutral site game. I agree, now that it isn't, they should make it a 2 leg final.

Especially in a league where home advantage is huge, and conference parity isn't always.

Seattle may have been seeded higher than TFC if they were in the East, but they were in the West, so now the road team.

Seems too arbitrary.
