A friend of mine got free tix to Idaho vs. LSU this weekend, but lives about seven hours away from BR and is having trouble deciding whether to go.

So the question is how far do you travel (or would be willing) for an LSU game? Not talking one-time planned trips like to Washington for away games, but if you don't live in BR but do go to games how far is it? And do you work both Friday and Monday when you do it?

Live south of Houston. Takes about 4-4:30 for me to get to BR. I leave after work on Friday and get to work at 8am Monday. Usually get into BR around midnight.

Haha yep, I drive six hours but not every week. This year just for the bigger games and sell my tix to friends who live closer for other games.

I lived in El Paso, Texas for work in 2004 and I made it to every home game.

I don't make a lot of games, but when I do, it's all the way from Hotlanta. 8 1/2 hours of pure bliss. It's the Tigers.....

The 4 guys that sit behind me are from Orange Tx and I can't ever remember them missing a game. They also drive back after even if its a night game.

6-6.5 hours each way. Leave on Friday around lunch, get to BR for dinner Friday, leave Sunday around 10AM. Home by 4:30 Sunday afternoon. About 2-3 games per year depending on the schedule. I try to make the 'mid-tier' games..huge games like Bama I have to be in front of a TV.

Every other year I get to see them up here whne they play Arkansas so that's an added bonus.
