re: What would it take for LSU to play at Tulane's Yulman Stadium IYO?

IDK, but there would need to be a financial reason, obviously, likely through TV. That could be possible through demand for the game, meaning Tulane would need to become consistently good. It's unlikely certainly, but the only in-state stadium LSU would conceivably visit.

BTW, what game is that? Southeastern?

Aside from Tulane these are the last times LSU played in-state, at another school:

Centenary-1932
ULL- 1916
La Tech -1913
Shreveport AC- 1904
Lake Charles HS - 1899
New Orleans Southern AC - 1896

Yes GT, Southeastern was a night game.

I'm curious who is the opponent that Tulane feels is worth paying Mississippi State 350K to cancel that series?

Tulane paying $$$ to cancel a series with an SEC school, is really odd.

I'm of the camp that says we didn't need to cancel Ms State to do this, but to answer your question....

Tulane is claiming they did that, in part, to make way for the recently announced 3 game series with Oklahoma (one of which will be in Yulman). But that series doesn't start until 2017.....

There are rumors they are also working on another series with a big-name school, with a home game in 2016.....and they didn't want to play @ Wake Forest, @ MS State, and have a big name home game all in the same year. Personally, I wouldn't count Wake as a big name so I wouldn't have worried.

I think LSU would need a 2 and 1 or possible a 3 and 1 . If Tulane came to Tiger Stadium 3 times (with no guarantee money), then I can see LSU going there.

On a serious note, I'm happy for Tulane. Nice looking stadium.

This. Playing on campus uptown will benefit the program a lot better than playing in an empty super dome. I wonder how much Forte donated for that place?

it would make LSU look small time...

for example South Alabama got Miss St. in their stadium but do you think Alabama or Auburn will ever go there? Nope

no reason to ever go there. the Dome is still standing, right?

still doesn't make sense, why pay 350K to cancel a 2016 game for a series that starts a year later?

Tulane joining forces with ISIS or Al Queda and smuggling a nuclear bomb into Baton Rouge.

I want LSU and Tulane to play each often (maybe once every 2 years), but any game in NOLA would have to be at the Superdome.

How about simply for the righteousness of playing the game you contractually still owe us

How about you say thanks for still being a D1 program. The tulane attendance figures were below the ncaa requirements so lsu came down to the dome to get the average back up.
