I don’t have a problem with LSU playing at Jerry World? Question is, why against a small Methodist U at least get Notre Dame aka someone we know who will bring enough fans to the game and would make the game competitive. What does LSU see in SMU for them to agree on play an away game at AT&T Stadium? When it’s going to be mostly LSU fan at the game, but SMU would still keep most of the revenue because it’s their “home game. Even the 202/2024 Rice vs LSU home and home contract made no since, any games against a FBS team with a lower stadium capacity, should only be played at Tiger stadium period,

There are mid majors and p4 teams that would be willing to come play at Alex box stadiums:

February 19-21 2027:
BYU
Iowa
Cal Poly

February 26-28 2027:
Kansas
Michigan State
BYU

I wish they would do an ACC vs SEC style to but ESPN / ABC wouldn’t agree to broadcast it.

1. College baseball games probably wouldn’t make espn / abc much money.

Could have selected games on ABC.
Majority of games on espn networks and ACC / SEC network.

What about this:

Elite classic: 4 to 6 team event
LSU,Texas,TCU
vs
UCLA,Coastal Carolina,Georgia Tech,

I’m sure if you can get 4 to 6 ranked teams to agree to play in a tournament together, ESPN would be willing to broadcast the games. And more fans would be willing to travel to Texas for an all ranked tournament.

Arlington is a possible since they now offer weekend 2 and weekend 3
6 team tournaments

Game times:

Friday: 7:00 pm home team
Saturday: 7:00 pm away team
Sunday: 6:30 pm home team

Friday: 11:00 am home team
Saturday: 3:00 pm away team
Sunday: 2:30 pm home team

Friday: 3:00 pm home team
Saturday: 11:00 am away team
Sunday: 10:30 am home team

Friday: 3:00 pm away team
Saturday: 7:00 pm home team

Exactly I agree that is what they should have done.

Exactly was planning to take off work and go to round rock for the event with my parents but day before I was gonna book the trip they switched to Jacksonville so I was mad.

Exactly I’m lucky enough to afford a non conference no power game / a weaker Conference opponent game

Its seems weird though, that all 3 of LSU’s annual opponents have 5 home conference games in 2026, but LSU only gets 4 home conference games.

Wasn’t his decision Clemson was already scheduled to play at South Carolina in off number years so to get 7 home games, Clemson had to play LSU at home.

Same for Utah they only have 4 home conference games in 2031.

Arizona state only has 4 home conference games during even number years so if the series does get moved to 2034-2025 then LSU will have to travel to Tempe AZ first.

Then how does Notre dame and navy spilt ticket revenue for navy’s home neutral site games? Notre dame has to at least get 30 to 40% of the ticket revenue.

So if LSU and Tulane did play at the superdome, it will probably be 60% 40% ticket revenue split.

But why would LSU be stupid enough to give up 60% of the ticket revenue at the superdome, when LSU can just play Tulane @ tiger stadium and only pay Tulane a guaranteed of $2 million or less.

Even if LSU did agree to play at the Superdome, LSU would want control of the ticket sales since majority of the fans will be LSU fans. Ticket split would be 80% LSU 20% Tulane or 70% LSU 30% Tulane.

So real question is why would LSU play Tulane at the super dome, when LSU can just play Tulane at tiger stadium?

If LSU wants to play in the superdome then play a P5 opponent then, is no reason why we should be playing a group of 5 on the road or a neutral site game.

Tulane will never agree to play a single guaranteed game at a P5 their future power 5 games are all home and home series against lower level P5 team.

I understand the heat part of playing a August game but playing week 0 vs week 1 vs a G5 or FCS shouldn't be different. playing New Mexico State week 0 vs week 1 ya the outcome of the game would be different, but at the end is basically a payment game and a win for LSU. I’m up for LSU playing week 0 game to be able to get a 2nd off week to use before a sec game. Having 2 off weeks In a 13 week schedule, is basically same as playing a 14 week schedule. At the end is LSU decision to play a week 0 game if it chooses too, even though there’s certain fans who don’t want LSU to play a week 0 game based on their own opinion and beliefs.
