The Volts qualified top of the T20 ladder after the regular season and, for their efforts, get to play the final series in Taranaki, on a rugby ground which has no connection with the three finalists.
Yarrow Stadium will host the three playoff games over three nights this weekend, despite the Central Stags not having made the playoff.
The Volts take on the second-placed Auckland Aces on Friday night, the winner going straight into Sunday night's final.
The loser of the game on Friday night will play the Canterbury Kings on Saturday night for the right to play in the final.
Coggan, chief executive of the Otago Cricket Association, said the arrangement had been decided prior to his arrival and involved Sky television and the six major cricket associations coming to an agreement over the schedule of the competition.
"But in terms of optimum viewing for the fans, who have supported the team all the way through, the tradition would be that the game would be played at home,'' he said.
He said a review of the competition would be undertaken by New Zealand Cricket and the associations at the end of the competition.
But there should be some advantage for finishing first in the competition and that would be getting to play the final at home, Coggan said, although he admitted this was his personal view.
Last year's final was played at Seddon Park in Hamilton as plenty of domestic T20 was played at this venue.
This year, Yarrow Stadium is the finals base and may have been the only option.
Other grounds do not have lights - now seen as a must for televised T20 games - while the likes of Eden Park and Westpac Stadium in Wellington were viewed as too big and expensive for domestic T20 games.
Seddon Park is out as it is being prepared for the second test against Sri Lanka later this month.
Coggan said attendance figures had been disappointing in November and this would also be looked at in the review.
"People want to watch cricket when they are wearing jandals and shorts. People are thinking after Christmas for cricket. Maybe we need to look at starting in the January window to finish in early February.''
The playing window was thought to best suit Sky and its scheduling.
Coggan said the Volts had shown some real consistency to qualify top and to have six wins from nine games - one was abandoned - was great work and credit had to go to the players.
They will get more than a slap on the back if the side goes all the way and wins the title.
New Zealand Cricket and the New Zealand Cricket Players' Association announced last month that prize money would be available for its competitions.
There is $100,000 at stake in the T20 competition - $80,000 going to the winner and $20,000 to the runner-up.
All the money would be going to the players, Coggan confirmed, and the association would see none of it.
How exactly it would be divided up among the players was a decision for the Players' Association.
No-one from the association could be contacted yesterday.
