Or will the field be enduring the rain?

Yes. LSU does have a tarp to cover the field before the game.

LSU has a tarp. But the rain will be out before game time. Probably about 2 or 3 pm.

Without rain, we don’t have a grass field

ETA: rain makes corn

You really have to ask if the multi-million dollar business that is LSU football, has a tarp to cover the field?

I’m sure they’ll cover it as long as they can to prevent it from being soaked for the game.

No. But we are saving up to buy one.

I seem to recall them installing drainage pumps when the new surface was done. that field drains like a white water chute.

I’m sure they will cover the field but considering how dry it has been the last couple months in BR when the rain stops the ground will soak up that water no time.

In the very link you provided, BR is still in the "green" at 8pm.

I went on a stadium tour the other day. That tarp is actually to premote growth for the type of grass they laid down because it starts to die off this time of year. They mixed in some other seed to provide new growth as well.

You know how heavy that tarp has to be ? Do the Golden Girls need any help ?

We're pretty dirt poor if we don't.

Perhaps, but they still have a tarp (or at least they did...I remember them even using it on the baseball field's outfield area once to supplement the infield's tarp during a particularly long stretch of rainy weather at one point).
