Any Saturday Night Conference HOME games?

How many Saturday Night Conference HOME games at Tiger Stadium 1 or 2? Florida and Arkansas will be day games. That leaves only Kentucky and Auburn. The Alabama/Florida game will be the one prime time game for CBS this year. CBS won't put LSU/Florida back to back prime time unless Florida is undefeated, spanks Bama, goes Top 5 and then breaks tradition and plays a second night game the following week.

Does this mean I'll be able to find cheap tickets around the stadium for the Flordia and Arky games?

Maybe Auburn. If LSU is undefeated, ESPN could put it on despite Auburn most likely being around a .500 team.
KY can't be a night game because no other SEC game can compete with the CBS prime time game per the contacts.

According to the "gurus" on the Ticket Exchange there are always tickets available for a couple of bucks outside of the stadium.

Looks like the Auburn game is our only hope of a conference home night game. If Auburn is .500 or worse at the time, it will probably end up a morning game again like Kentucky. Should we pull for Auburn so we can have a night game?

So, NO Saturday conference games at home at night at all this year. LSU is selling out to the system. Uniforms will be next. Tradition is fading with the color green. That's the price for success. Next stop - PROBATION - Oh, we're already ON PROBATION.

This is the annual trade-off. Given the CBS contract, we can be a top SEC team and play in that game in the afternoon or we can be mediocre and play at night.
It sucks relative to tailgating and tradition, but it's awesome relative to the state of the program.

Auburn will be a night game.
Alabama/Tenn will almost certainly be a CBS game and then ESPN has the second choice of SEC teams for their two nighttime slots. Since there only 2 other games featuring SEC teams worth a crap that week, it's a lock that the Auburn game will be on ESPN primetime. We'll probably be be on ESPN (and not ESPN2) because Ole Miss is terrible and nobody cares about Arkansas.
How are people still confused by how this works?
