Just wondering how much of a homefield advantage this gives us. Obviously only being an hour away and in state is huge. I guess my questions are

1) What do you see the fan% being in the dome?
2) How big of an impact does playing in NO have for guys from that area?
3) What about having guys already played HS games in there like Alleman, T Jones, Jefferson, Randle, Downs, Mingo, Hilliard, Landry, and Wing help out?

- And yes I know there are more guys on the roster who have played games in the Superdome, just listed the ones that came to mind and that are key contributors.

Smaller than 2003 and 2007. Bama fans will show up. It won't be 75% LSU fans like before.

I think the biggest advantage LSU has is the fact that they know they can beat Bama.

It will probably be 60/40 in favor of LSU. Hope LSU fans are buying their tickets now.

It would be more of a 65% LSU to 35% Bama crowd.

The same advantage bama had in Tuscaloosa. Which didn't turn out as well.

Don't underestimate Bama's ability to get their hands on tickets and travel for a game like this. They will show up.

Bama will travel to the Super Dome, but it will still be 2-1.

2-1 lsu advantage.

lets hope chavis can figure out how to defend the screen pass to richardson. if so, it will be a long night for bama's offense.

Will the field make a difference considering how fast our defense is, or is it a wash considering that Bama is pretty fast as well?

Game will be close, but more scoring this time.

Disagree. 20,000 -30,000 Bama fans in the Dome can make a hell of a lot of noise.
