Stadium personnel is ready there. Media and cameras ready there.
Easy choice, imho.

I don't want LSU to play at 8 am
Posted on 8/27/17 at 10:14 am to Rouge
doubt it because Tenn is playing GT the following day

There is absolutely no way this will happen. There's a Falcons game Thursday night, FSU-Bama on Saturday and Tennessee-Georgia Tech on Monday. Not to mention Labor Day is the busiest weekend of the year in the city and there are literally no hotel rooms available. Also, there's no way BYU would play on Sunday and the stadium can't operate 4 games in 5 days.

Bama fsu is at 7pm. You telling me that they cannot have stadium ready on Friday (from thursday game) and play the lsu-byu game at noon on saturday?
Honestly, I cannot speak to hotel situation

LSU will kickoff at 8:30pm Saturday, regardless of venue, unless the game is cancelled, per ESPN.
Atlanta is not an option.

ESPN is swinging the big dick in this. I doubt they care where the game is played as much as they are it gets played in its original 8:30 time slot. Noon, Rouge? Noon? Gtfo

I can sell a major double header, and it would be a damn good PR move for espn

Cmon Carl , you are smarter than this. Espn isn't God, they DO negotiate with their revenue partners. It's like our fan base has been conditioned to just roll over and not be our own strongest advocate. I don't get it. And so now I challenge you to a fight at Sonic, first Man evacuated by emergency medical personnel, loses.

It will take everything the stadium has just to turn it over from Thursday night to Saturday night. You have to remember it's brand new and there are still a ton of things it's working out right now and a lot of unknowns. I was at the Falcons game last night and there's a lot of work to be done back-of-house operationally by next Saturday. Also, it's virtually impossible to play two major football games in the same venue on the same day. The average fan has no idea how much work goes into getting a venue prepped for a game. Long story short, this game has a better chance of getting played in pretty much every other city in the U.S. due to the timing. Hope the Tigers are playing here in January though.

If the stadium logistics are not yet in place, then I agree with your original statement
