I hope the Tigers win and you enjoy the game. Thank you for your service.

I was at LSU in the late 70's / early 80's and we used to play Army and Navy both most years. I remember speaking to some of their players while eating in Hatcher Cafeteria. I believe they would stay in North Stadium - not really a luxury hotel but a better way to spend taxpayer money.

I am a Air Force vet and a Dow retiree. I really enjoy the military weekends and how LSU and Dow honor the veterans at the games. LSU usually has some neat pregame activities like the parachute team, so hopefully the weather will be nice and the crowds will be loud.

Army Vet here too and as much as I'd like to think Army can hang with our Tigers....not going to happen!

But should still be a great game and a unique experience for you and your wife. Too bad you didnt have a chance to visit the old AB Stadium but still....a fun venue to see both ball clubs play.

I think there may be a gymnastics meet at LSU the day after the baseball game, so if you are still in town, that may be fun to catch.

I already ordered a Army Retired t-shirt and I have my LSU hat.

I'm good to go!

I appreciate your service.

You’ll have a great time. You should let LSU know that you are attending. They usually honor a vet or active service member on sundays.

It’s a great venue.

Well, that was a hell of a first game to attend. Great way to pull out the win! We had a blast and can't wait to come back for another game.
