Neither State nor Ole Miss had a stadium with the capacity of Tiger stadium. It wasn't until 1948 that state had max capacity of 30,000. LSU had that capacity in the mid 1930's.
Ahhh, that makes sense. Did Jackson or such not have a stadium for that capacity?
Thanks for the answer, by the way.

Ole miss played LSU in Memorial Stadium several times as well. Ease of travel for both parties was a huge bonus. It's about 2-3 hours from both Oxford and BR. Not sure about State. Vaught Hemingway Stadium didn't reach a capacity of 34,500 until 1950. So 1951 was the first time since 1927 that Ole Miss hosted LSU in Oxford.
