Bama fsu is at 7pm. You telling me that they cannot have stadium ready on Friday (from thursday game) and play the lsu-byu game at noon on saturday?

It will take everything the stadium has just to turn it over from Thursday night to Saturday night. You have to remember it's brand new and there are still a ton of things it's working out right now and a lot of unknowns. I was at the Falcons game last night and there's a lot of work to be done back-of-house operationally by next Saturday. Also, it's virtually impossible to play two major football games in the same venue on the same day. The average fan has no idea how much work goes into getting a venue prepped for a game. Long story short, this game has a better chance of getting played in pretty much every other city in the U.S. due to the timing. Hope the Tigers are playing here in January though.
