We’re playing Clemson on 9/5/26 & they already have matchups scheduled for the next 2 years.

Maybe 2028

Absolutely not.

You need to leave the “ideas” up to others…posters like myself, for example.

That’s one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.

Just sit back and be a lurker. No more posting from you. TIA

Playing a game in wet, 55 degree Dublin after training all summer in 105-110 heat index is asinine.

BK was working on something like this but no announcements yet. These things are planned years in advance

And it would have to be vs ND imo

I would be cool with a game in Ireland... the rest of you that don't like it can stay at home.

They’re dealing with their own cultural integration issues over there right now.

Agreed… I would go! However, normally college football schedules are laid out 5-10 years in advance.

Yeah you and me both but the majority of Tiger fans would not be able to make it and the weather is usually shitty. I have to go to every game home and away so would not like the fact that I have to go all the way over there but once I was there and made a 10 day trip out of it I would be happy it happened.

Unless LSU can play their home game at tiger stadium and Michigan can have their home game in Dublin not worth it for a 1 and done game or a home game for LSU.

Kansas state is getting only $2.5 million
Expenses reimbursed and 5% of merchandise sales

Iowa state only gets expenses reimbursed and 5% of merchandise sales

Wouldn’t be work it also stadium is only 48k capacity. If LSU wants to play a neutral site game do it in London at wemboly stadium in London England 80k + capacity and would offer more guaranteed money.

Like the LSU ED AD said
Won’t be a home game not worth it for how small the stadium capacity is and not be a big time match if a P5 OOC team or an weaker SEC team wants to play their home game in Dublin then LSU would do it but LSU won’t play their home game knowing that they would lose extra home revenue they would generate when playing the game at tiger stadium.

Thats why you see these matchups being part of a home and home series cause most teams know its not worth having big time matchups / 1 and done games in a small capacity stadium and only guaranteed $2.5 million or less when you can play in a nfl stadium and make around $4 million to $5 million in guaranteed revenue

LSU could play on the moon and the fans would travel.

I expect our fan base would travel well. Enough to sell out our seat seats.
