LSU vs. BYU To Be Played In New Orleans Superdome

Officials from ESPN, LSU, and BYU all announced Monday night that the season opener between the Tigers and the Cougars has been moved to the New Orleans Superdome due to severe flooding in Houston.

The kickoff time will remain at 8:30 pm CT. Per LSUSports.net:

quote:
"Efforts are underway in New Orleans and we will work with the fans, the Superdome, the New Orleans Convention & Visitors Bureau and both schools throughout the week to ensure the most optimal game day experience for all," said Pete Derzis, ESPN senior vice president of college sports programming and events.

The AdvoCare Texas Kickoff was relocated due the devastating impact of Hurricane Harvey to Houston and the surrounding areas.

"ESPN had to make a difficult decision and we are well aware of the awful circumstance that led to this move," said LSU Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Joe Alleva. "Every storm is different, but we in Louisiana understand a little about what all of those in Harvey’s path are going through right now. It’s heartbreaking and our prayers go out to all who are impacted."

Accurate name is either "Mercedes Benz Superdome" or "Louisiana Superdome" if the sponsorship agreement expired. Was never called the "New Orleans Superdome".

We better have the Cajun Bucket Brigade on standby to get the water to the other side of the levee.

Happy we'll have a true home field advantage and excited to see Mormon BYU students corrupted by our culture, mates :cheers:

blueboy•80 months

Good. Hopefully, they won't have to change it yet again or cancel it if/when NOLA floods.

saint tiger225•80 months

That's my worry. Even some of the local meteorologist are questioning moving it there.

This is gonna suck for BYU. 60,000 Tiger fans, in a Dome, filled with booze....recipe for a blowout.

And Southern Decadence. ROFLMAO!

DaleGribblesMower•80 months

With AIDSfest going on in the FQ too? Why would a BYU even go?

LSUFreek•80 months

Good. As much as I would have liked it in TS, I think I would've thrown a shoe at my TV if lightning strikes mid-game would've gotten it cancelled.

Wait until the Aggreko generators shut down, like in the middle of the Super Bowl. They should have hired me.

Tickets?

LSShoe1030•80 months

Now the question is how do I get my tickets?!

BYU fans are going to melt when they see Southern Decadence

You think Mormons are more homophobic than the average Tigers fan? You must not know anyone from South Louisiana.

Tiger_n_Texas•80 months

Pretty upset they are automatically refunding tickets. Hopefully they give current ticket holders (to the advovare game) first shot. Had 8 tickets for my family and my neighbors. Very much looking forward to going to the game, even if it is in nola. Plan on driving in from Houston and bringing beck sheetrock.

You sir be careful and best wishes. Terrible event going on over there

Fire up the pumps now! Order the back up pumps now!

tigerbutt•80 months

Glad these bastards waited to announce this while driving home from work. Hotels booked up quick.

BayouBengal99•80 months

I saw huge pumps from La headed to Houston just a while ago. They can rig it up if they need to do that. Hopefully there are no pumps needed.

USACE screwed N.O. by misappropriating dredging material to those with cash in their hands instead of where it needed to go to build a secure barrier. Crooked agency.

comalking•80 months

Dumb move. When NOLA floods then what? Another 11 game regular season?

BigPerm30•80 months

What are the betters odds? BYU pulling out the win or some poor drunk Mormon pulling out of a tranny?

JackieTreehorn•80 months

Prayers sent to all of you baws.

Good. This was the best decision. Its a neutral site.

Awesome! To everyone still complaining for whatever reason: We're actually going to see our Tigers play Saturday night! Isn't that what it's all about? I'm excited as all get out! The Dome has a roof! The emergency pumps will be running! Let's band together and support our Tigers! Kudos to everyone for getting this done early in the week. Plenty of time to make plans. Geaux Tigers!

TigerSpray•80 months

Screw the NFL and the Saints.
