I think a Thursday night game will be fun.

Same here, and I lived in central AR for most of my life and attended plenty of games/tailgates at WMS. We've played like shite there ever since the ULM nightmare on Markham, might as well try something different with a low impact opponent.

I don't think this will help the attendance problem with WMS though, in fact they'll probably struggle to sell above 35-40k. Without delving further into the stadium debate, most of the LR crowd is more blue collar and probably has to work until 6pm Thursday night and has to return to work at 5am the next morning.
