I think the reason OM was willing to play all those games in Red Stick was because TS was bigger than theirs and the purse was split 50-50.

I know this was the reason for State playing in Baton Rouge all those years. Gate receipts were split 50/50. More money could be made playing in Baton Rouge. It's also the reason State played every game or "home" game against Auburn in Birmingham.
