Why not move the game to Shreveport. Smaller venue but will still afford the opportunity for LSU fans to go to game.

Move it to Superdome (saints play Thu), Tiger Stadium, or Provo in that order.

Zero chance this happens.

Pretty sure if the models are right Shreveport will get slammed around Fri-Sat with tons of rain and 30+ mph wind

No way this ever gets on the table for discussion.

Few folks want to go to Shreveport for anything. Especially an lsu football game.

A shithole venue in a shithole town.

Can more make it to Provo? It's an option for those that have already bought tickets that want to see the game.

Mcneese has turf so we wouldn't mess up the field, maybe we could play there on Saturday night. LSU could still bus over and BYU team and fans could fly into Chenault. I will start checking on hotel room availability. Haha

I'd rather play in Provo

Indy Stadium is a better viewing experience than that echo filled 1970s mistake. No matter where you sit you are a mile from the field as well.

Play it at ULM or La Tech

ESPN has strong input in any decision regarding the LSU-BYU game. ESPN has ownership rights to the affair. The network is in its fifth year of an eight-year agreement with Lone Star Sports & Entertainment, a marketing company affiliated with the Houston Texans that hosts the AdvoCare Texas Kickoff.
ESPN should use “reasonable efforts” to reschedule the game if it is canceled due to extreme weather, according to the game contract between the network and LSU. The network is contractually obligated to pay LSU $4 million for playing in the game. The payment is to be made within 30 days after the game, the contract says.
The network and school are not liable, for any reason, if the game is canceled because of weather, the contract reads. BYU and LSU do not share an open date.
"LSU is not in control of this game. It is not an LSU home game," Alleva said through Franques. "This game is organized by NRG in Houston and by ESPN. Ultimately, it’s up to NRG and ESPN, the organizers of the game, to decide where the game will be played if the game is moved."

it is not about the affordability or convenience for LSU fans.

Gordy Rush on air this morning laughed when Shreveport was brought up. Yeah right, let's move the game to a stadium in the path of the oncoming weather.
Scratch the thought!

Probably true probably however we expect their players to come to LSU.
