re: We need to open next season in Ireland.

It's HAPPENING! Can't wait to book my flight.

Why? There is a perfectly good stadium on Nicholson Drive.

No Sir.

We need to open in Tiger Stadium against a SWAC/HBCU school or a smaller "Southern" school with a great Band. (Jacksonville State, Troy State or Southern Miss.)

The football team gets a warm-up practice game to work the kinks out and the fans get an entertaining half-time show.

Is that so the LSU recruiting base can get all of those studs the UK produces?

What does playing in Dublin have to do with the UK?

I understand the recruiting and learning experience side of the trip, but is it actually worth it. LSU will probably lose between $6 million to $8 million in ticket revenue, parking, and concessions. As the D AD said already, LSU will never play their home game in Ireland. So as the away team, LSU won’t get a game guaranteed. Only thing LSU would get is all expenses paid and 5% of the merchandise. Iowa state and past away teams were only paid $250k to cover expenses and 5% of the merchandise sales.

My next question is why did Michigan decide, hey let’s play our home game vs a western Michigan team that is located less than 3 hours away, and let’s give up our on campus home game, to fly all the way between 8 to 10 hours to play in Germany.

We need to open next season in Baton Rouge against a patsy.

I think it would be be Vanderbilt or Kentucky. Missouri wouldn’t give up a huge home campus game vs LSU, Arkansas is to big of a game for them so it would have to be either Vanderbilt or Kentucky. If we could get a 2024 Vanderbilt team every season moving forward then that would be a good Ireland game to go to , but other than that, it wouldn’t be a even matchup it’s a top half sec team vs a bottom of the pack sec team. But if I had to choose it would be Vanderbilt. Even thought Kentucky football dropped in the standings last few years they still have a huge fan base and a lot of people know that football isn’t Vanderbilts sport , so it would make sense for Vanderbilt to play in Ireland to help with recruiting. But at the same time Kentucky has a larger football fan base, so there will probably be a lot more Kentucky fans who would travel to Ireland, compared to a baseball University like Vanderbilt.

I know the big 12 has been trying to start a kickoff game in Mexico City at Estadio Azteca stadium 87k capacity.

If lsu schedules an international game, should be played at a larger stadium so either Estadio Azteca in Mexico City,
Stade de France in Paris, Wembley stadium in London or in Madrid Spain.
