I know I won't be close to others here, but to start it off:

Home - 2004 Arkansas St

Neutral - Jan 2008 National Championship. If bowl game doesn't count, then 2011 Oregon

Away - Kind of 2011 Bama (was a freshman, went to campus but couldn't afford a ticket). Legit went in stadium was 2013 Bama

I've only ever been to home games.

My first game was September 6th 1980 vs Florida State. LSU lost 18-0

What is considered the first neutral site game? Outside of bowl games and alternate fields like Little Rock I am struggling to remember neutral site games before the 2000s.

Not going to win either but

Home: 1987 vs. Rice

Away: 1999 @ Miss. St.

Neutral (not counting bowls or Little Rock): never.

Would love to hear some old timers talk about the alabama v. State and LSU v. Ole miss double headers in Jackson

My first game was Bama in ‘81. My 2nd game was the next week - Notre Dame. We lost both.

Early on there were series that did that. But before the time of anyone here, I think.

LSU Arkansas played in Memphis in 1909. Then they played in Shreveport from 1913-1936 except for 1918 (Spaish Flu/WW1).

There are others with Bama in Mobile or New Orleans as well. Probably others as well.


But I am pretty sure the OP meant Bowl games included as neutral site games.

The most impressive part is that your memory is still great enough to recall the dates and details

Home-first one I remember was Tulane in 2001. Lucked into some suite tix after tailgating all day. Definitely didn’t fit in. Probably went to ones before that.

Away-miss State in 2009. Chad Jones/Peterson windmill game.

Neutral-vaguely remember Indy bowl vs mich state and ND

1980 Tulane Away


Had to be 1979 or 1981. LSU played Tulane at home in even-numbered years until the early ‘90s, including 1980.
