Just curious, why Baton Rouge? Why choose LSU out of all the other college (and NFL) venues out there??

When I was younger my dad took me to the Fiesta Bowl in Phoenix, AZ. I had been to many NFL games but never a college football game. The teams playing then were Ohio State and Notre Dame. I instantly fell in love with college football. The marching bands,the intensity, traditions, and pagentry. Don't get me wrong, I love the NFL but college is much more exciting and you get a better experience.

The first game I watched on tv was LSU vs Bama and after seeing the venue and the crowd, I was hooked. I also thought the jerseys were nice,I did not know much about college ball at that time

There is also a lot of history in Baton Rouge and New Orleans and I figured it would be quite the cultural shock to come down and see it, something out of the norm.
