None of you people thrilled that LSU is playing Southern can complain that the stadium is half empty by half time, the atmosphere is dead, and that the students dont show up.


Thats fair, but hell... it happens during SEC games too.

It isn't so much a competition thing, its an inability of LSU and the city to find a transportation plan that isn't completely fricked.

If you knew you could be on I-10 within 30 minutes of the end of the game, I guarantee you many, many more people will stay, especially night games. The current prospect of it taking 3 hours to get to Lafayette or the north shore after a 7pm game is a massive deterrent, much more than any opponent is.

I disagree. For one, LSU has to play its SEC schedule so there is not much that can be done from an Athletic Administration point of view for making people stay at those games. More important though is that fans are much more willing to sit in shite traffic for a good game than for an FCS doormat game.
