Hotels are rapidly being booked up completely according to a friend that is night manager of Hilton downtown.


Notre Dame will bring a ton of fans. They always travel well.

Nashville is close to a lot of cities with decent sized LSU alumni bases, Atlanta, Memphis, Birmingham, etc.


Of the cities you mentioned, only Atlanta has an LSU alumni population even remotely close to what we have in Houston.

I think LSU fans are going to travel here much better than people in Texas are saying.


I hope that you're right. I could've made it to the Texas Bowl, but I'm not going to spend money on airfare/hotel to travel to Nashville. It's a great destination city, but the timing of the bowl and the cost keep it from being an option for me, as I think it will for many other Tiger fans.

I mentioned 3 cities. Combined I am sure we will have a solid turn out. Nashville is in a very central location for the Southeast, unlike anything in Texas.

Sorry you can't make it. I don't think most people will have the same issue and a lot of people look for a reason to visit Nashville for the reason you said.

Nationally, this is a much better game for LSU's program because of the opponent.


ETA:

Can also add Jackson, MS to that. Its only 5.5 hours away from Nashville. Not to mention its drivable for Tiger fans in Chicago and other areas up North.
