To think that a game of this magnitude is actually going to be played on the home field of one of the teams is absurd!! This game as well as The Rose Bowl for example, should be played on a neutral field. If I were OSU, I would seriously consider just boycotting this game on those grounds alone. Boy what a message that would send.
Jeff, good point about LSU being close to home. But to correct you, it's not their home field. Their home field is Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, otherwise known as "Death Valley." This game is at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.
But, certainly nearly a home game for LSU. Not sure how easy it would be to prevent that as they have to pick the site years in advance....
