    Why couldn't that game be played in the Superdome in New Orleans? Colorado v Colorado State is a good example playing their annual game in Denver at Mile High Stadium. Also, playing a P5 school would do more for UL and our brand instead of playing an E. Michigan. 2 P5 schools don't have to both be Top 20 programs. There are plenty of P5 schools that we can compete with that we could schedule. For example, this year we play Florida State. Instead of E. Michigan who our fans could care less about, we could schedule an Illinois or Indiana or Rutgers or Vandy or Duke or GA Tech. We have the geography. We need to increase the value of our brand. And, some P5's do travel to G5s, look at N. Carolina playing at App State with only a 30,000 seat stadium. Our stadium seats more than Wake Forest, Vandy, Duke, Wash State, Oregon State, to name a few.

    We will finish the year in the top 25 and they won’t. For the third year in a row.

    If there was ever a time to pitch a neutral site game, that time is now.

    The EMU game is fulfillment of a contract negotiated several years ago. Also UNC to App is part of a 2 for 1 deal from what I recall. Our AD says those are not done anymore. Still I like the idea of neutral site games in the SuperDome. Problem is we did not support the game vs Miss State well as needed in 2019. Of course our recent success was only beginning then. It may be time to try it again.

    I think our fans would view the LSU game differently than Miss State and our allotment of tickets would be sold in a heartbeat, as would theirs. Easily a sell-out.

    Yep.

    As long as we have that TV contract, chasing Home games is pointless.

    YES. The neutral Dome game idea is and was an excellent idea. Attendance to the Miss St game should have been larger. At the time, there was a certain downplaying of that game by some because it wasn't a true Home game. We should have been marketing the cr*p out of that. Hopefully, we have learned our lesson.
