That's from the venue thread.

Look at how many home games LSU plays compared to the rest of the SEC. and LSU fans in here have said, because the weather is nice/no snow.

So, the weather isn't nice in Florida? Or Ole Miss? Or MSU? You played double digit more home games than OM and MSU, that is ridiculous.

MSU and OM are both top 10 in attendance I believe, with large stadiums, and great weather. They played 12 and 13 fewer home games.

I think LSU just really cares about that record and schedules a shite load of home games so no one will beat them.

That or they like pansy's and don't go on the road vs good teams, I'll have to look at their past OOC's but don't care enough right now, maybe someone else can find their away OOC games the last few years.

I'm pretty sure there's a mandated number of home games LSU must play with the new stadium for it to pay for itself or something like that.

Also, if there are actually 10K people in the box 10 times in the regular season I'd be relatively surprised. I don't know what any other schools do as far as counting.

The CSF series was awesome, and I'd love LSU to have more interesting and fun OOC series.

{Yawn} Altogether now...Alex Box Stadium is bigger than most SEC stadiums...teams want to play at ABS because they make more money playing LSU on the road than if they hosted LSU on the road.

It's not rocket science.
