This is correct LSU played on a field near the pentagon barracks... In fact IIRC the barracks are actually built where the field was.
Source: took a class on it at LSU.
Whoever taught your class didn't know the history...the Pentagon Barracks were built by the US Army as billeting for the Baton Rouge garrison, when the Army left in 1872, GEN Sherman helped to get them turned over to LSU...Huey Long bought the land from the University in order to help fund the present campus....

Sherman did many things to help LSU in the early years. The hate some have for him is misplaced.
