Will LSU ever have a true road non conference baseball series every again?

I'm not talking about a road trip in state or something like the Shriners Classic but a true road series. I want to see games like at Stanford or Texas. Last I remember they said the costs were prohibited to do true road series. Last true non conference road series was a trip to play some 2nd tier team in Florida in the mid 2000's I think.

I have a hard time believing costs are the reason. I think it's more about LSU not wanting to go on the road. Personally, I think it's a bitch move (if true). I'd love to see them schedule a home and home with some big names. It'd make preconference much more fun. After 2 weeks of service academies and Maryland, I'm over it.
I remember them doing home/homes with Texas and Cal State Fullerton, and Arizona State in the past.

In reality, why should we? The numerous neutral site tournaments in the south preconference have tremendous talent at them, and we make so much money during our home series. If we can continue to get in good neutral site series/tournaments preconference, then why lose out on the money? We are getting plenty of road experience during the midweek and neutral site weekend games

I remember seeing someone mention on this board that there's a home and home series scheduled or being planned with Texas. Hope it's true.

Be honest....if we would have lost one game this weekend you would have made a thread to complain about a player or the coaches. How long have you had this one filed under, "threads for when there is nothing else to complain about."

LSU played at Notre Dame LAST YEAR.
Did everyone forget that?

I'm certain LSU will schedule away games in the future, but their scarcity is driven by money to a great degree. Visiting teams in baseball don't make any money (there just isn't enough to go around). It's not like football or even basketball. LSU is one of the few teams that can make a little money with a home game. Why give that up to go on the road just to break even? The only argument would be if it's a big name team coming to town (i.e Texas) it would allow you a greater chance of selling out your stadium. LSU sells out the stadium anyway. From a dollars and cents perspective, there's no reason to do it.

I might be mistaken but i thought the plan was to not have any away non conference weekend series while they are still paying for the new box.

Too many northern teams willing to play down here during early part of season, which gives more value to season ticket holders and brings in more money. If LSU did those type of series you are suggesting it would make no sense.

Pretty sure I read awhile back Texas and USC are in our upcoming schedules the next few years.
I don't see the big deal in not having a major road series. We make more money and the sec is difficult enough as is. Our scheduling has improved a lot over the last few years

LSU will play another road non conference series but it will be once every 3 or 4 years. Why would LSU give up the money of a weekend series and pay money to go on the road. Baseball makes money and they want to keep it that way and that means as many games at the box as possible.
Also playing on the road in the SEC prepares the team for away regionals.
