Would it be a good idea to play Texas A&M at Reliant Stadium for the next 10 years? I think this wound help recruiting in the Houston area.

No, college football should always be played on a college campus.

Sure. While we're at it let's never play a game in Tiger Stadium again. Tradition, college GameDay enviornment, non cooperate fans....pssst.

Why can't we just play college football games in college football stadiums?

First, they would NEVER agree to that. They already play Arkansas in Dallas every year and are spending half a billion on their new stadium.
Second, we also just spent a ton of money expanding to 100k.. why would we want to lose yet another potentially marquee home game?

No!

hell no. I want to go to aTm campus and Im sure aTm fans want to experience tailgating at LSU. No reason for this bullshite.

campus' are too close together to not play at home stadiums IMO, do a one year deal or something like that I'm fine with it, but can't just continue to take away home games

wouldn't want to make our "home" games every other year in a city that is 3 hours closer to them and has a ton more alumni from aTm than LSU.

It does help recruiting in a way... hurts in another way however.
Can't have official visits to neutral site games. Getting kids in Death Valley is a HUGE recruiting tool. We want as many opportunities for the high-level recruits (who are taking/scheduling many visits).
With technology today we can get plenty of exposure AND have visits if we play on campus.

Do like SWAC schools do and just play it in Indianapolis.

Lol. Why would LSU EVER do this?

Sure, let's move MORE game off-campus. It will be great paying $3,000 per season ticket to help pay for the new expansion that would only be used maybe 6 times per year. And of those 6, who wouldn't be excited about 3 games against lower-level teams.
Has LSU really ever struggled recruiting the Houston area? Do kids there not have TV? Internet? etc.? Is the 4 hour trip east to BR that burdensome? I doubt ONE game a year in Houston, or Dallas, or Atlanta is going to make or break recruiting in those areas.
This isn't the 1950's, or hell, even the 70's where kids from other parts of the country had never heard of LSU or even seen them play on TV. With the advances in social medial, and just technology in general, the US is a "very small place". IMO the "it's going to help recruiting" manta in (insert city) is one of the dumbest arguments for the off-campus games. What helps recruiting is the national exposure for LSU, regardless of where the game is played.
