Not that hard to figure out why. FSU made more revenue playing in Tiger Stadium.
Are you trying to say that FSU preferred to play in Baton Rouge? I am gonna give you a chance to change your statement before I laugh at you.

That is exactly what I am trying to say.
At the end of the day FSU made a significantly greater amount of revenue based on ticket sales alone. A lot of universities profited playing in BR as opposed to their home stadiums.
It's the same reason both MS schools played at LSU for 40 years+ instead of their own stadiums or a neutral site.
MSU played LSU 30 years in a row in BR. All because of money.
LSU had one of the largest stadiums in the country since construction because LSU and Tulane got into a building war in the 30's that continued into the 60's.
