Someone Has Finally Listened - Southern Univeristy Coming to Ruston in 2015

[Dwayne From Minden]

Per Big Jason Jones -

I predict one of the larger traveling fan bases to visit JAS when they come to town - which I would assume may be opening home game next year...

Jag fans HAVE money and will travel...

It will draw a lot in the area just to see Southern. Gonna be really loud in JAS especially once the SEZ is complete.

Get your hotel reservation ASAP. . . . especially if GSU tries to schedule home game that day, too . . . .

I can see this exceeding capacity of 27k. We should look at adding temporary stands in the NEZ (north endzone).

Sell out guaranteed if this is the first game of the season and maybe any game of the season.

Love this, always said we should be playing Grambling and Southern if we are playing an FCS school. Great move.

Younger fan here. Why are we excited about playing a SWAC school? (yes I understand it's a massive achievement for us to schedule any game whatsoever at home).

Because the G-Men or Southern will easily bring 10k fans to the Joe, that's why. Plus it (in most years) should be an easy win.

Southern and most SWAC's travel incredibly well, they use the game as more of a reunion than a competition, especially with in-state schools. I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop in the summer when it gets moved to SBC...

Beat me to it. I was surprised to read the thread and see that it said Ruston and not Independence Stadium.

A lot of north Louisiana and south Arkansas folks will come see a HBCU...more for the entertainment of the band/tailgate/party than the football game.

This better not happen!! I'm not going there at night, and if La Tech does that to me and I don't go I'm going to get my ticket $ back for that game one way or the other. But JAS would be excellent, great atmosphere, I like this game for 2015.
