Officials from both schools will meet with ESPN on Sunday to discuss moving the game away from Houston’s NRG Stadium. Two potential relocation sites are LSU’s Tiger Stadium or New Orleans’ Mercedes-Benz Superdome. A source told SB Nation both schools are committed to playing the game Saturday in a different city. BYU does not allow its athletic teams to play on Sundays, per university policy in accordance with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

It could also conceivably be played on Monday (Labor Day). Not sure what that does to television, but it's not like it would be unprecedented.

Move the game to where the storm is heading? You're a genius.

Not so fast, the folks from Provo are warming to Shreveport as a family oriented site and ESPN is listening...

Independence Bowl - 65,000 seats

Superdome - 77,000 + seats

Don't think that won't factor into the decision.

Oh, and the only reason Shreveport is "family friendly" is because there isn't dick to do there.

It is not going to be played in dallas.

Dallas is slated to get showers all week.

Houston vs dallas in Jerry world Thursday
Florida vs Michigan in Jerry world.
SMU, North Texas, TCU all have home games. Hotels will be booked for the most part alone without any evacuees coming from the Houston area.


I don't think Dallas is a viable option at all. Even on Monday. Which byu would never agree to because thy play against Utah their next game and they do not want a short week to prepare.

Old cotton bowl field is going to be soaked. I just don't see either school wanting to play outside in sloppy conditions. Especially given the depression is currently heading north.

Fans should perhaps consider that some of LSU football's biggest contributors are from Shreveport.

LSU and BYU will give input to ESPN, but per the contract, the final decision will be EPSN's.

The good news is that both schools are amenable to working together on this.

Meanwhile, prayers for those down in Houston and much of South Texas. Right now, their well-being is the real issue.

CB on Saturday or JerryWorld Monday afternoon would work.

Small chances of rain here in NoTex this week.

CB was remodeled a while back & seats 90,000.

Evacuees most likely go to shelters, as many or more hotel rooms in DFW as in HOU.

Just saying this is a viable alternative to NO or BR.
