Worst possible move. Dallas would have been best for us.

Re: LSU gamed moved to New Orleans Superdome
Glendale would have been the best possible solution for BYU, outside of being at LaVell Edwards Stadium. But BYU is just happy to be allowed to play at all, and has absolutely no leverage.byufan4ever wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2017 9:55 pm Worst possible move. Dallas would have been best for us.

Re: LSU gamed moved to New Orleans Superdome
Well I don't think Glendale was ever in the picture. Of the 5 sites that I heard mentioned Dallas was the best. The others were Superdome, Nashville, Orlando and Jacksonville.hawkwing wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2017 11:00 pmGlendale would have been the best possible solution for BYU, outside of being at LaVell Edwards Stadium.

Re: LSU gamed moved to New Orleans Superdome
I think the stadium had to be "related" to that group. I think the superdome, cotton bowl, and jerry's world were the closest and the cotton bowl is not NFL or able to gear up in time and jerry's world has MI vs FLA that day. I don't see why they couldn't make it a double header . I think Phoenix is also part of it and I was hoping but you know LSU would never have gone for that.byufan4ever wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2017 11:05 pmWell I don't think Glendale was ever in the picture.

Re: LSU gamed moved to New Orleans Superdome
Hey now, like many others I learned much of my arrogance from BYU. I did grad school emphasis in Irrational Behavior from Rice.

Re: LSU gamed moved to New Orleans Superdome
New Orleans was probably selected to ensure maximum possible ticket sales and revenue. It's only 1 hour from LSU at Baton Rouge, so they know they can sell tickets fast. With the game only 3 days away, they are probably trying to minimize lost $$$ from ticket refunds. Dallas would have been a great location too, but New Orleans was probably too tempting for them. LSU was probably never going to agree to a game which would have been more friendly for BYU fans vs LSU fans (aka Glendale).
