LSU announced Thursday that the Tigers will kickoff the 2017 season against BYU in Houston, TX at NRG Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 2.

This will be the first ever meeting between the two schools and LSU's second appearance in the AdvoCare Texas Kickoff. Per LSUSports.net:

“We are excited about the opportunity to return to Houston for the 2017 season opener against BYU,” said Joe Alleva, LSU Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics. “We opened the 2014 season against Wisconsin in NRG Stadium and the turnout and response from our fans far exceeded our expectations.

“Houston is a great city with a huge LSU alumni base and NRG Stadium continues to be one of the great venues for football. We look forward to opening the 2017 season against BYU in Houston in what should be another great start to the football season.”

After the BYU game in Houston, LSU will return home to face Syracuse the following weekend in Tiger Stadium.

So we have to play a mid-major team at a neutral site lol

Well considering we've only played 8 home games 5 times ever and never during an odd numbered year, I'm going to assume you're all just whiny old dudes.

Joe Alleva has got to go. This neutral site game crap is worthless!

tickfawtiger•116 months

How about 3 neutral site games....in Houston vs. SHSU, in Dallas vs. No. TX and Atl. vs. App St. ? As a longtime season ticket holder I'd be OK with that OOC schedule. It's just great for LSU fans out of state, great for the all important "road game" for recruitng purposes and leaves a great OOC game for Tiger Stadium !!

Awesome I hate going to games in Tiger Stadium :sarcasm:

TAF should prorate the tradition fund for season tickets on years we lose a home game in Tiger Stadium

"not overly pleased but let's face it we're not ready to open the season against a marquee opponent -"

You can see 3 years into the future?

"Another reason why I will be selling my season tickets this year. "

That sucks for you

BYU and Syracuse is better than most of the SEC West will face OOC that year.

SlipperyPete•116 months

Maybe we will have a DC by then.

LSUDAN1•116 months

Another reason why I will be selling my season tickets this year. Tired of the state of Texas having better non-conference LSU games instead of Tiger Stadium.

purpleleaf•116 months

Guess we will never see 8 home games again.

Great. Another loss to an overrated religious school, as long as Less is in charge. Makes it easy to tell the poor students. "No" when the Alumni Association has them call the house, though!

The realpurpangold•116 months

not overly pleased but let's face it we're not ready to open the season against a marquee opponent - this is a winnable game & combined w/ the Syracuse game the following week it should provide solid prep for the conference schedule

CaptainPanic•116 months

Great. Even our scheduling is on the decline

whoisnickdoobs•116 months

I would like to see LSU do away with the neutral site games as well.

TigerMond84•116 months

Make the neutral site games stop. Make them stop.

LSU Tiger Eyes•116 months

Great! Look forward to playing the Mormom Thugs-R-Us U!
