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.

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.

tconle2•51 months

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

chauncey1•51 months

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

tconle2•51 months

This makes more sense.

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.

LSU Tigers, not Southern Tigers

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

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

I actually think this is a great idea. Both schools have a ton of tradition. Great way to bridge the gap and come together. I’ll be there!

I don't understand some of you people, LSU is within walking distance of one of worst parts of Baton Rouge

Used to live in Scotlandville and had the crap luck of going to school there. I'll take the ghetto around LSU any day over Scotlandville! Tiger Stadium may be close to the ghetto, but it isn't in it!

We have a long way to go as a city, state, and country if people are this up in arms about a scrimmage. A lot of the players on that team you cheer for come from areas like the one that surrounds Southern. It’s not a good look to kids being recruited to see and read some of the things people are saying smdh

Jwils•50 months

And those same players are working their asses off to GET OUT OF THOSE PLACES!

ezride25•51 months

It’ll never be ready in time.

Whites have to sit in the back of the stadium.

RightWingTiger•51 months

"LSU, the reigning national champions" Never get tired of seeing that statement!!

DeafVallyBatnR•51 months

I could be wrong. I'm not a teacher of English. But is something wrong with the headline of this story/report.

js1591•51 months

It is missing the word “be”. You would think they would proofread before they print.

Which is worse? While at LSU I was attacked by a gang. They threw large rocks at my car( while I was in it and shattered every window plus one hit me in the head- concussion and stitches) My niece at Southern was sexually assaulted at the school library . I sent my five children to UL.
