Big changes for MLS Cup Playoffs format in 2012

LOS ANGELES ? The MLS Cup Playoffs and the league's grand finale are getting new looks in 2012.

The MLS Cup final will no longer be a neutral-site game, according to a plan approved on Saturday by the league?s Board of Governors. Instead, the league?s championship match will be played at the home venue of the participating team with a higher regular-season point total.

That effectively brings an end to the system of rotating the MLS Cup final to different venues around the league, as MLS has done since its inaugural 1996 season.
