Would the Louisiana Derby move to Evangeline Downs in this case? It is a Derby qualifier.

Barretts. Also Slowdown > Roccos. Not as crowded, nice bathrooms and AC for the hot days. Also a big screen with the games on. The back has cornhole and an old school scoreboard too. Kros Strain Brewery is good as well.
Until we win an opener, 9 and Kelly maybe. We have 5 tough road games if Vandy is decent again.

Brees, healthy Deuce, draft gold helped. Defense was decent.
Nicer field than Duke. At least Murray has a grass field.
Each school gets around 600-700 tickets I think. They're usually scooped up by admin staff and a select few season ticket holders. Usually it's a 100 section by the dugout and one of the 300 level sections.

Most of us have to buy off Ticketmaster on the secondary market.

2nd Kros Strain. Very good beer. Brickway is cool too as it's a distillery and brewery.

The Drover for Steak one night. Barrett's is the old school LSU bar. Everyone will say Rocco's, but Slowdown next door I think is way better. It also has covering & AC if you have your Mother in Law.

To be the man, you gotta beat the man. Whether that's in Round 1 or a Final.

How much are the Saudis paying you?
You could sit club level in Omaha for the final for a third of that. Absolutely not.

That league can kick rocks, and I hope the deal falls through. Keep that away from Louisiana.
Wouldn't be a bad opening weekend one. We usually schedule a cupcake for that to see what kind of team we have before pre conference tourneys like Shriners etc...
They weren't too bad last year when we were visiting family. Most will honk and wave when I was jogging on the bridge. It was some entertaining people watching for sure.
Rutgers would be fun. Home of football.
WV Or KY are getting out that regional I think.
