re: Why does LSU always play at night?

LSU has a massive fanbase, we bring in the viewers which is $$$

Before television was so prevalent, Radio broadcast giant WWL (am) would broadcast LSU games at night reaching large sections of the country. Thus LSU began to gather nationwide support which is still valid today.

Interesting theory. AM radio can reach thousands of miles at night.

It isn’t a theory at all. It’s an absolute fact. People all over the eastern US listened to LSU football games on WWL over the years before TV games became so prevalent.

When I moved to Jax in 1990, I listened every Saturday night that we weren’t on TV. Listened to basketball and baseball as well.
