Nice work copying the info from the guy who made this thread three days ago.

I wish I'd have known. Sorry I guess?

The App State game is still the creepiest I've attended.
There might have been 25,000 there, and there was just a feeling in the stadium that you knew something bad was about to happen

There were at least 65,000 there at kickoff. People left in the 2nd half and the crowd got smaller. The Reveille used to have an actual attendance article but I guess it's old and it's off their site now.

It was weird. People were drinking before but not all in fun. When victory was assured, it was a strange feeling of "we should get out of here."
I would say it was at least 2/3 full at kickoff.

Nah, App State had a decent sized crowd.
I didn't get any eerie feeling tbh. Despite the lack of tailgating, it felt like a regular game just way earlier plus 1,000 degrees hotter.

severe weather in this area at this time of year is extremely common, so it's really not that weird at all.

I agree with this - this is rational, but that's not the weird part.
The weird part is that the relocation planning seems to be done well after the cancellation. There should be a complete relo plan, in place before the weather event. Then, if the original venue becomes tenable - boom - execute the alternate plan. It seems like we're always trying to get agreement after the fact. To the point we rarely play the game on the scheduled date and I feel we've been lucky in not losing more games altogether.
That's what is "uncanny" IMHO.

I'm not involved obviously but i think its one of those things where a full on contingency plan for all these games would have a significant dollar amount attached to it whereas they have shown they can get them all played played when and if needed. I mean only 1 of the 10 was canceled and if they really wanted to they would have gotten that rescheduled too.

I don't understand this at all - it's almost always easier to move the location on the date than reschedule, particularly these neutral site games in pro stadiums. The teams already have the date available. The location is all that has to shift. Like this game - we have an open date on October 28th - if we don't play this weekend, BYU will have to lose a game to reschedule this season.
Madness to just be reactionary all the time. I'm not saying dot every "I" or cross every "T" - just put it on the network in this case, ESPN - "Hey, we're committing to play, but if it has to move to Dallas, OKC, Atlanta, Miami - wherever, we have to play on this date."
Put that in the contract - it's in everyone's best interest.

Sure, and outside of 2005 and 2008 not much has happened.
How may teams lose games for lightning? Now, three years in a row we have been impacted by weather outside of Louisiana: South Carolina, Florida, Texas. Plenty of teams play in that footprint but it's impacted LSU more than others.

I don't how these contracts are written. Would you need to put a deposit in Phoenix or Nashville? IDK. It does seem prudent, if possible to have alternatives for neutral games from Texas to Atlanta.

It's outside of your list but, 2001....... games changed also... across the country....

It's a contingency contract - you pick a place that likely won't be affected by the same weather event on the same weekend. Say Phoenix for Dallas or Nashville for Houston - you ask, "Hey? You cats have anything lined for Labor Day Saturday? Anything that would preclude hosting a CFB game just as a disaster fallback?" Venue: No. "Then, how would you like to make an easy $250k if we don't end up needing you or a whole lot more if we do?"
Obviously it is more complicated than that, but not a helluva lot more.

Our culture had basically become complacent towards storms prior to 2005.
In 1998 LSU was playing Idaho while they were evacuating New Orleans due to Hurricane Georges impending landfall. I remember Dan Borne telling people that if they intended to return to New Orleans after the game they should leave early before LSP implemented contra flow procedures.
