I've wondered this for a few days now, how does the coin flip work, what do the agreements have to usually be as far as the settlement of the picking of the stadium?

This should help you. It has the rules for the coin toss.

There are actually two tosses.

(i) SITE AND DAY OF GAME.
(1) Non-District Games. Mutual agreement determines site and day of game.
(2) District Games. District schedules, unless unanimously agreeable otherwise, shall be made by a draw for a
two-year period. Home team may designate the day of the game. Exception: When a school district has more
than one home game per week and only one stadium, the day of the game shall be determined by a draw
unless mutually agreeable otherwise. Starting time shall be set by the district executive committee, unless
mutually agreeable otherwise.
(3) Playoff Games. Unless mutually agreeable otherwise, the place for playing a playoff game shall be determined
on a “home and home” basis for the past two football seasons (2005, 2006). (Exception: Conference 5ADivision
I and II state championship games.) The team that was the visiting team the last time the two teams
met on a home field in a post-district playoff game may require the game be played at its home field. In case
of disagreement between two teams who have not played a post-district playoff game during the past two
football seasons, the game site shall be decided by a coin toss. A school cannot be required to flip for a playoff
site that is not large enough to accommodate the fans from both schools.
(4) Home Sites. When two schools flip for two separate sites other than their home field, the sites are considered
home sites unless both sites are near mid-point.
(5) Neutral Sites. A site mid-point or near mid-point or a site agreed on by both schools as neutral, is a neutral site.
Unless mutually agreeable, a site cannot be neutral if it is more than two-thirds the total distance between the
two schools.
(6) Playoff Contract. Post-season contracts must show either, home site, neutral site, or mutually agreed-on site.
(7) Day of Game. The home team may designate the day of the game. Exception: If the visiting school has to
miss class time to travel to the game, the game shall be played on a non-school day unless mutually agreed
otherwise.
