Big Six Historical Home Records

How has LSU played so many more home games than everyone else but Tennessee? Is this just at their current stadiums or something? LSU has nearly twice the number of home games played as Alabama, seems almost impossible even with Alabama playing a bunch of games in Birmingham

ETA: Such a random post to downvote. Never change rant

Why did you include LSU?

Why wouldn’t he include LSU?

Bama has only lost 52 home games in 90 years? Holy frick

In fairness, that stat is very misleading. For the longest time we played most of our impactful/rivalry games at Legion Field in Birmingham. We didn't start playing in Bryant-Denny more often until after the stadium expansion of 1987-88. And it wasn't until after the next stadium expansion of 1997-98 that Bryant-Denny became our primary home field. We were still playing home games at Legion Field in 2003.

We probably wouldn’t make the top 6 anyway but people forget that until the 1990’s when Jackie was hired, almost all our home games were 150 miles away in Jackson because our stadium was so small. The best thing that ever happened was Jackie telling the administration , or DEMANDING that the stadium needed expansion and that no more home games were going to be played anywhere but Starkville.

Auburn played regular home games in Birmingham until the late 70's (From what I've heard).

How could LSU have played so many more games in TS than UGA in Sanford given they were only opened five years apart?
