It has been announced that LSU's annual Spring Game on April 18 will be played on Southern University's campus at A.W. Mumford Stadium while the field turf at Tiger Stadium is being replaced. Per LSUSports.net:

BATON ROUGE – LSU's spring football game on Saturday, April 18 will be played at A.W. Mumford Stadium on the campus of Southern University, LSU Athletic Director Scott Woodward announced on Tuesday.

"This is a win for this community overall," Woodward said. "Southern University has a terrific facility and we are grateful to athletic director Roman Banks and Coach Odums for hosting us. We're excited to play some football on the bluff in the spring."

LSU is having to play its spring game off campus due to resurfacing of the field in Tiger Stadium. Kickoff time and other details for the LSU spring football game at Southern will be announced in March.

LSU, the reigning national champions, opens spring practice on Saturday, March 7. LSU will host its annual coaches clinic featuring keynote speaker Marcus Allen on March 12-13.

justustm2•63 months

And that somehow makes you happy? Hate and racism rots the brain. Do you also teach your child to hate? A family tradition?

OU812•63 months

Throwing out the race card is what people with rotten brains continuously do.

theOG•63 months

Makes no sense.

SpencerRob•63 months

So it should be played in tiger stadium with the bulldozers and bare dirt?

reauxl tigers•63 months

Yes

BigTimer23•63 months

silly

SkintBack•63 months

Dont feel like getting shot that day, no thanks.

justustm2•63 months

Good! One less racist piece of shite in attendance. There is a special place in hell for racists.

SkintBack•63 months

Race aside, north Baton Rouge crime is out of control. I dont want to get shot by a white man either!!!

chauncey1•63 months

They should consider moving it to Nola or Houston and tie it into recruiting.

tconle2•63 months

This makes more sense.

LSUDAN1•63 months

First time that stadium has been full in a while.

lsualum96•63 months

Only thing is................it won't be full. LSU fans do not support the spring game en masse, regardless of where it's played.

UptownnMike•63 months

Lol, you know Susan and Bill will not be in attendance. Probably terrified.

tconle2•63 months

We should make the spring game where we just play Southern.

Graton•63 months

I'm sure there will be no shortage of people charging $20 for parking. AKA extortion for keeping your vehicle safe.

JONBURRIS1981•63 months

People around LSU does the same thing. Please stop it man

DlineU•63 months

They should just cancel the damn spring game and scrimmage in the indoor facility. No one will want to go to the game at Southern University! Dangerous and uncomfortable part of town and Southern doesn't even like LSU. Stupidest move by LSU in a long time. At least try to have it in the Superdome or something and create national appeal for recruiting. Not to mention we just won the championship game there.

LSUFanHouston•63 months

Superdome is unavailable... renovations happening there

DlineU•63 months

Not a great start to next season then. Attendance will be at an all-time low. I used to go live around the area and it's criminal history is known well around Baton Rouge and whether you are white or black, facts are facts. Hopefully I am proven wrong and all goes well but Spring game is ruined for me, and I just moved back from Alabama for 3 years. Was really looking forward to the Spring game. I hate Baker, Scotlandville in all of North Baton Rouge except for Tony's seafood lol.

I think the best option here is the river center lol.

terriblegreen•63 months

Ya'll are acting like this is the end of the world. I go to Southern twice a week for my child's sports practice. It's fine. It's a perfectly acceptable venue for a spring game. I'll be there. It's not that big of deal.

Tiger Prawn•63 months

Should've just played it on the quad

LSUgrad08112•63 months

fricking dumb and embarrassing. You don’t see Ole Miss playing at Mississippi Valley State, or Georgia playing at Georgia Southern, or Texas playing at Prairie View A&M. Literally no clue what they’re hoping to accomplish, North BR simply isn’t safe enough or nice enough to be worth visiting at this point

StupidBinder•63 months

Yeah because highland road west of chimes and tigerland are “safe and nice”. Some of y’all need a reality check.

justustm2•63 months

Then keep you stupid arse away! In fact, please resign your membership as a LSU fan. You are a negative stain on LSU fandom. Your negative and hateful energy is not needed or wanted.

LSUinMA•63 months

Everything you wrote is wrong, except for the part where you say that you have no clue.

CaptainJ47•63 months

Why are you people hating? North Baton Rouge and the surrounding area has been home to some great Tigers. I mean only 10k of you all go anyway. What does this hurt? It enfranchised a part of Baton Rouge too often left behind.

CanebreakCajun•63 months

LSU Tigers, not Southern Tigers

SirWinston•63 months

Please don't tell me that we're getting flubber or something terrible like that. I will be crushed.

catnip•63 months

I think LSU pays them back by letting them beat the Tigers in baseball.

CanebreakCajun•63 months

Just do it at McNeese, so I can stay at golden nugget

KillTheGophers•63 months

Southern university sits on great land - wish LSU owned it

Drizzt•63 months
