Shows why so many BR area merchants get upset about neutral site home games like the upcoming one in Houston. LSU makes bank, but BR misses out.

So new local sales tax is less than 1% of new sales revenues. Nice. Way to get your share BR.

I wonder if this includes the money they got off DUI checkpoints and MIP police on game days.

I have NEVER, heard ANY Baton Rouge merchant or their supposed representative...B.R. chamber of commerce, even raise a peep about their disdain for OOC away games !
Very strange...is B.R. business afraid of Joe A. ? If so, they've got to be the ONLY entity with such a malady !

Wow, what a rantard take.
Seems to me it shows the general positive affect of the football team on the local, and in turn, LA economy.
Good coaches, good teams, good return on your investment.

Watch the 30 for 30 The U about Miami. When they were dominant in 80's and early 90's it was nothing but a positive impact for their local economy.

LSU should build a basketball arena that actually looks good and matches campus.

It reminds me of the painting in Bogie's with LSU/Baton Rouge landmarks alongside one another. Can't find it anywhere on the internet.
