The MAC consists of teams from Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Indiana. The headquarters is in Cleveland, and they play the basketball tournament at Quicken Loans Arena but the MAC Football Title game has been in Detroit since 2004 and they wanted it in a dome stadium (Ford Field) and they view Detroit as somewhat of a central location for all the member schools.
I remember from 1997-2003 they played the game at the highest seed's home stadium (with 5 of those games played at Marshall, 1 in Toledo and 1 in Bowling Green) with the home team winning 6 of those 7 games....the lone road team to win was a Ben Roethlisberger led Miami (OH) win over Bowling Green.
