Pretty sure that's how it works in game three of Super Regionals and national championship series. Or, at least, that is how it worked long ago at Rosenblatt.
I believe for the regional round the coinflip is only used as a tiebreaker if other criteria do not leave a situation where one team has been the visitor more times than the other. Irvine has been the visitor twice, Stanford once, Irvine is the home team tonight. I am not 100% sure on this but the way ESPN has scores listed for tonight would suggest that Irvine is the home team. I will note that of the 8 regionals playing a second regional final, the designated home team switched in every regional except Stanford's.
Thanks for the clarification, MiniBlueHawkCard. I was going off of how the game was listed on gostanford.com, but that is obviously not the authoritative site. So it will have to suffice that Stanford is the *host* team tonight.
By the way, do you know Blue Hawk (Mizzou) Card?
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
