How many LSU players are from 50 mile radius of that stadium. Thats home turf. And anybody who doesn't believe that has their head up their arse. Home game for LSU.

Alabama is not as far away as Oklahoma nor Ohio. They have many fans here in Louisiana. There will not be an overwhelming majority of LSU fans over Bama fans. I can see LSU having a 60-40 advantage at most, more likely a 55-45 advantage.
However, LSU loves that dome. The players will feel at home, after playing in Jerry World twice in the last year and just recently in the Georgia Dome. LSU fans will be more vocal. The fast turf will make the Tigers lightning fast.
If LSU could beat Bama at Tuscaloosa, there's no reason to expect anything but an advantage for LSU to play this game in New Orleans. Not the same as in Tiger Stadium, but it's definitely not a true neutral site.

Even at 50/50 it will be better then the 5/95 advantage Bama had in T Town. We still won!!

In '03, Oklahoma knew well before LSU that they were in the NC game. The outnumbered LSU fans by about a 60/40 ratio. In '07, it was probably 53 to 47 percent in LSU's favor, but people saying it was much more than that were either not at the game or simply delusional.

5-0 in the 'Dome' in the BCS era...15-1 overall in 'Domes' since 2000.

Absolutely none of this is accurate.

07 had less LSU fans than 03 and this year will have less than 07, but will still have more than bama

Agreed. It's the players that will feel at home
This matters a lot more than fans in the stands (which, of course, helps LSU even more)
