I'll be flying into Midway with the poors

On ratchet Southwest Airlines, with stale peanuts and a warm Sprite, but my flight reservations are booked for the weekend of September 3rd, followed by a three hour drive from Chicago to Green Bay on I-94!!!

Taking a look back, as we get a chance to reflect in the dead period that is late February, we've had some great road season openers to start the season in recent memory.

2005---at Arizona State (made the best of a bad situation)
2007---at Mississippi State (Thursday night game which set up a mini-bye for Va Tech)
2009---at Washington (Seattle was awesome)
2010---vs North Carolina at Atlanta
2011---vs Oregon at Arlington (my absolute favorite, 60k Tiger fans in JerryWorld)
2013---vs TCU at Arlington (anytime we play in Texas, it's just awesome)
2014---vs Wisconsin at Houston (LSU plays in Houston for first time in a long time, 50k Tiger fans in NRG, epic fourth quarter comeback trailing 24-7) [Thank you Kenny Hilliard]

And now in 2016, LSU will play a virtual road game in Green Bay's football version of Mecca, Lambeau Field. I simply cannot wait.

I have reserved my airfare and hotel, but I will wait to purchase tickets. Stubhub, Ticketcity, etc are simply trying to get suckers to buy $700 tickets that aren't even in a prime location. I'll continue to look, but I think I'll wait until Aug 15 before I pull the trigger. Ebay may be the answer, you may get a Tiger or Badger fan who can't make it and wants to just get back what they paid face value via their season ticket plan.
