That was at Mississippi state.


We also beat Mississippi state at their place on a Thursday night game in 2011 as well and it looked rocking.


I wouldn't think it would get very good attendance if we played one at home though.

Are you kidding me? With our petulant fanbase, there would only be fifty thousand in the stands.

HELL NO! Take away night games and SATURDAY? LSU doesn't need to be "put out there" like some ACC or Sunbelt up and comer or even a Mississippi State.

LSU attracts enough viewers on a Saturday that the networks probably would lose money by putting us on a Thursday night

No to Thursday night home games


Although I am more than fine with a road game bein in Thursday night with the correct scheduling around it, ie a opener/bye week/cupcake the week before

The only people who would be able to attend for the most part are those who A can take two days off when everyone in the state is trying to do so. Also, ones who live close who could go to the game and just have a rough day at work.

Anyone who would have a significant drive wouldn't be able to make it, and who up in north LA wants to miss a Friday night game.

No recruits would make it with games the next day also.

i have it on good authority from someone in the athletic department that the SEC is pushing for us to play A&M on thanksgiving night every year.

LSU is starting to gauge interest on this from season ticket holders. i'm praying to everything holy that this doesn't happen.

I'm not sure LSU could pull off a TH night game with people needed for concession stands and not to mention law enforcement. A 6pm kickoff on TH with rush hr traffic would be a nightmare for everyone.
