I'm certain LSU will schedule away games in the future, but their scarcity is driven by money to a great degree. Visiting teams in baseball don't make any money (there just isn't enough to go around). It's not like football or even basketball. LSU is one of the few teams that can make a little money with a home game. Why give that up to go on the road just to break even? The only argument would be if it's a big name team coming to town (i.e Texas) it would allow you a greater chance of selling out your stadium. LSU sells out the stadium anyway. From a dollars and cents perspective, there's no reason to do it.

Just remember... we get Power 5 teams to come to the Box for a weekend without a return trip...

seems like a read that part of the deal with building the new baseball stadium was, LSU would play all home series' to help pay for it. Obviously that changed a few years ago. so, maybe that was like a 5 year plan?
