LSU reaps great financial benefits from neutral site games...if one is good wouldn't two be so much better ? Say the Admins. listen to the overtures of the N.O. Superdome to host either a really good/decent OOC or even an SEC opponent, each year ? What say the Rant ?

No.

Bowl game is already a second neutral site game.

bowl game is actually a third neutral site game if you count the SEC Championship. and it isn't as easy for the Admins. to go to the Dome and say we want to play a game here. The Dome has to WANT the game and put up the money to host it, that's why we played in Houston instead of NOLA (apart from the big alumni base in Houston) The Dome didn't want the game.

I don't know why but its more complicated than wanting to play at a certain neutral site

That might actually cause me to give up the season tickets that have been in the family for almost 60 years. Of course, Alleva might be happy with that--chance to sell th to some corporation for twice what I'm paying.

You're just mad it's one less home game you can scalp.

Financially, the BEST moneymaker for LSU is a home game. LSUAD makes more $$$ when we host Sam Houston State than we make from a neutral site game.

Two neutral site games make LSUAD more money than a home-and-home with a bigname school like Wisconsin.

Is this fact, considering the sponsors for neutral site games?

This is correct.

Two big teams are set to make more money with a neutral site game than a home and home.

We pay the smaller teams a fee to come play us and not have to play at their place.

You seem to be unaware that the Superdome is, in fact, currently putting plans together to host a "neutral site" game !
