The NHIAA football committee has voted against using neutral sites for the championship games in the state's five divisions this season. Instead, each title game will be played at the home of the higher-seeded team.

The decision was announced following an NHIAA football committee meeting held Wednesday.

Earlier this year the committee had approved a plan that would have allowed each of the five championship games to be played on a field with a turf playing surface. The Division I and Division V championship games were scheduled to be played at Nashua's Stellos Stadium; the Division II and Division III championship games were scheduled to be played at Exeter's William Ball Stadium; and the Division IV championship game was scheduled to be played at Hanover High School.

The revised schedule:

 DIVISION I

Semifinals: Nov. 10 (higher-seeded team), 1 p.m.
Championship: Nov. 17 (higher-seeded team), 12:30 p.m.

DIVISION II

Semifinals: Nov. 10 (higher-seeded team), 1 p.m.
Championship: Nov. 17 (higher-seeded team), 1 p.m.

DIVISION III

Semifinals: Nov. 3 (higher-seeded team), 1 p.m.
Championship: Nov. 10 (higher-seeded team), 1 p.m.

DIVISION IV

Semifinals: Nov. 3 (higher-seeded team), 1 p.m.
Championship: Nov. 10 (higher-seeded team), 1 p.m.

DIVISION V

Semifinals: Nov. 10 (higher-seeded team), 1 p.m.
Championship: Nov. 17 (higher-seeded team), 1 p.m.

Note: The Division I championship game will be televised live on CN8.
