I read an article earlier today, that said LSU was thinking about buying out the series. This doesn’t make sense to do a series with a small Methodist university. their stadium is less than 35k capacity. so you telling me AT&T stadium would mostly be filled with LSU fans, but SMU keeps most of the revenue. If LSU doesn’t want to play at Tulane or play Tulane at the super dome, then how does it make since to give up most of the revenue by playing an away game vs a small U, that isn’t going to have many fans at the game? This home and home series doesn’t make sense, yes play at Jerry world, but LSU should be the home team, LSU should take control of the ticket sales, keep most of the ticket reverie, and pay SMU a guaranteed. Or LSU needs to pay SMU a $1 million cancellation fee to back out of the 2 game series and pay them a separate $3 million guaranteed, for the neutral site game.

That stadium is smaller than some of the Dallas area high school stadiums. The campus? Blah. Great decision to move it. Jerry’s world is an incredible place - not a bad seat in the house.

Smh it just puts that generic feeling to the game. Cannot beat an on campus game with matchups like this.

I feel the same reading this headline. I’ll set my alarm for when tickets go on sale.

SMU's stadium full capacity is 33K ... that in no way could accommodate LSU fans.

Now LSU needs to get out of the SMU game in Tiger Stadium. Just play one neutral game and be done with it. Playing SMU does nothing for us.

That’s all onVerge. Scheduling was his deal.

More intriguing for me personally...

Exactly I agree that is what they should have done.

Can we please stop with the neutral site games?
They were cool 15 years ago.
They are trash now.

If LSU was going to agree to play road games vs opponents that play in 30,000 seat stadiums, they we should have just scheduled Tulane instead
To be fair, LSU probably owes Troy a game at their place after the way they embarrassed us. Just sayin'.
GEAUX TIGERS!!!

Neutral site games are terrible. Sterile garbage.
Traveling to Clemson was such a great experience. Traveling to Morgantown, or Starkville, or Gainesville, or Blacksburg, or Auburn for games on campus…..great experiences….Conference game or not.
Neutral site games rob everyone of this type of opportunity. Hate it.
Don’t care to watch LSU play in Jerry World unless it’s the CFP.

And I get that capacity is 33k. Schedule someone with a big enough place on campus to begin with.

I don’t have a problem with LSU playing at Jerry World? Question is, why against a small Methodist U at least get Notre Dame aka someone we know who will bring enough fans to the game and would make the game competitive. What does LSU see in SMU for them to agree on play an away game at AT&T Stadium? When it’s going to be mostly LSU fan at the game, but SMU would still keep most of the revenue because it’s their “home game. Even the 202/2024 Rice vs LSU home and home contract made no since, any games against a FBS team with a lower stadium capacity, should only be played at Tiger stadium period,
