re: If Texas gets a half empty Tiger Stadium

If I'm LSU and I'm looking at zero chance of being able to fill Tiger Stadium for that game I'm strongly considering trying to push it to another season. The financial benefit of entering into big home and home series is the opportunity to collect a huge "gate" when you get the game at your home stadium. Playing Texas in front of a 25% or even 50% full Tiger Stadium is a tremendous wasted financial opportunity for LSU. You want that game played when you have the ability to pack 90k+ into the stadium. That's almost certainly not going to be this year.

So while I was looking forward to that game as much as anyone (easily the best home non-conf game in at least 10 years, if not more), I wouldn't be upset if LSU chose to move it (though I am upset the absurdity of this ongoing covid situation will make doing so the best option)
