Okay, maybe it's just a silly rumor.
But, in general, as it pertains to hosting so-called "big" opponents, play 'em in Ruston. We hosted Miss State in Ruston. Wasn't close to sell-out, plenty of room for everyone. In 1999 we played aTm in S'port and there were about 15K Aggie fans, in 2003 we played Okla State in S'port and maybe 7K Boys' fans were there.
Play at Aillet. If it sells out, great! Bring in temp seating if someone thinks more seats can be sold.
Period.
NO effing S'port!
