It would cost Southern university additional money to have it on campus which is just not smart business. No way the university could make money holding it on campus during the pandemic with Covid-19 .If SU is the home team,, why would they not have it at LSU, why go to SHREVEPORT?? Unless they are giving the stadium rent free or an offer that they could not refuse then I will understand, if not this is a dumb move
City of Shreveport is taking care of travel, lodging and additional costs for the teams. While it may not be the most popular pick, I think SU & GSU saw this as a safe option.
LSU also installs a new playing surface every year during the spring .That probably played a part
As far as other activities besides the game, the Shreveport Mayor said that his committee will continue to have meetings and monitor the numbers before making announcements. You could have a game with 25,000 or 30,000 at the Indy Bowl. It just depends on the COVID numbers.
