I believe Auburn has held graduations JHS, but as far as an annual event I don't think so besides the HS playoffs every other year. AU is pretty protective of the turf IMO


As I said before, LSU has an agreement with the Bayou Country Superfest organizers that gets Tiger Stadium re-sodded afterwards at no expense to LSU.

So it's a case of win-win!

Which make Uk no money whatsoever amirite?

UK is in excellent financial standing. The campus is seeing significant construction and upgrades on all manner of academic and athletic facilities at present. IIRC, y'all are the ones facing bankruptcy in Red Stick. Perhaps this explains why we don't have to hold outside events at our stadium

I am obviously talking about

Don't be dense.

...no one at your school thought anyone would be interested in going to a football stadium at UK? Could this be why Commonwealth was downsized?

...being a jerk? And ruining what should have been a feel-good thread?

So let's review. You could have just dropped in and said "Cool!" and left, and looked like a decent human being.

Instead, here we are. You come off like this...



...fake as all get out.

Commonwealth is for Kentucky football only. Lexington is a city, we have facilities around here to hold events.

Facilities like malls? Events like basketball games?

Actually, there is talk of bringing the state HS football championship game to Commonwealth after next year.

They were going to bring the Rolling Stones to play for the World Equine Games, it fell through. So, the had Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert instead downtown and Whitaker Ball Park.

But as Wildcatfan said, Rupp has big concerts and shows...we have Keeneland...we have other venues that hold big events.

You post about a camp out and a concert. I respond with about how it doesn't make sense to hold a big concert in College Station because its close to so many major cities. You get pissy, like usual, then jump on your high horse. No one falls for your sappy let me boast as much as possibly about LSU but pose it as a question so no one flames me for posting crap that should be on TD.

This is still true. As an Aggie fan, you do a great impression of a Red Raider fan. You seem to have trouble separating football from real life.

If my threads bother you so much, just avoid them. Not rocket science.

Why are you so mad that LSU lets kids watch movies in their stadium. It's a pretty cool event.

For most of its history Gator Growl was held in the stadium, last year it moved. Don't know if it's going back there anytime soon.





Graduation was held there for the first time in decades last year, it will be there again while the O'Dome is being renovated. It may become a regular thing.

We don't count annual Kansas asswhoopings as an "event".

You're precious though.

I saw advertisements for sheep chasing competition and convention at Kyle Field on Highway 6 when I was going to Calvert last weekend.
