As such, it's not such an outrageous desire for us to expect to have as many high profile games in that stadium as possible.
So do you really think the Athletic Department is consciously refusing to play OOC games in Tiger Stadium? You act like you know what goes on in terms of negotiations, deals, etc. Ever stop to think maybe OTHER teams don't really want to have to play in Tiger Stadium? It's a complicated issue and it can't be broken down in such simplistic terms, especially by a bunch of random idiots on a message board.

In sentence 2, you accuse me of acting like I know what goes on...despite the fact that I've never suggested anything of the sort, and then in the third sentence basically suggest you do know.
Do you, or are you merely speculating that these teams are refusing to play in Tiger Stadium?
SC went to Auburn, Penn St went to BAMA...we've had VT, Washington, etc here fairly recently. it seems like it's possible.

The logistics of scheduling can be hard...explaining why it's a growing trend is not unexplainable.

I am the OP. Obviously this is a very touchy and divisive issue in our fan base. Here are my responses:
1) Neutral site games are definitely all about the money. I really would not mind doing them once every five years if we had other good OOC home games. Whoever said we still have the sponsors pump it up just keep it a home and home was a good idea- why does it have to be a neutral site? It is about the two teams not the location.
2) I took Economics at LSU. For those telling me to sell my tickets- I already sort of have. After 15 years as a season ticket holder I decided to go halfsies with a buddy starting last year. It was different when I lived in BR- I went to every football game and the mid week baseball games. But it is just not worth it or economical for me to pack up he truck and drive an hour to see us play Furman. If I sell my tickets whoever buys them is going to also get sick of seeing us play Furman for that amount of money and they won't go. Then less concession money for LSU to where they are losing money. Eventually the market will work it out it just seems as though LSU wants to do this the hard way instead of making fans happy with less kent states and furmans and better OOC home games. Yes if we were playing Florida State in Death Valley, I would not mind going to Houston. Both will make money.
3) I went to VA Tech at home in 07, UW in Seattle in 09, and Oregon in Dallas in 11. Though I love road trips like no other, I would take VA Tech in 07 any day over the others. Seattle was an awesome trip so that would be next. Oregon was cool and unique, but I don't want it to become the norm. It was my third favorite. It is only our third neutral site game against TCU and I'm already sick of them. TCU is not very exciting to me either.
4) RATeamWannabe------Address me by full name-Smoke Brady Dinardo. CapCrunch------sounds like someone has penis envy. To both of you-Why would I post less when this subject generated 10 pages already? Could it be that this is a serious matter to us LSU fans worthy of being debated?
