What's the point, it's like playing basketball in the Superdome, venue is way too big for the event.


They used to have baseball games in the dome and the space was tight. Once they did the renovations it made it impossible to do baseball there.

If they did happen to play a baseball game in tiger stadium (they aren’t but just for fun). Take the over! Minimum 12 homers.

When FIFA first awarded the US the 2026 World Cup a 8 years ago, Tiger Stadium was on the preliminary list to potentially be a host, but it was contingent on having construction completed to widen the field to meet the minimum FIFA standards and LSU didn't want to do it.

Clearly the FIFA organizers have never been to Louisiana if they thought about hosting a tournament in an outdoor stadium in June

Right field would be about 150 feet from the plate to the fence. Not to mention messing the field up for the infield. But other than that……

I wish they'd bring this to Zephyr Field. I know they use it for high school football, but it's such a wasted opportunity for baseball.

Why? They already have a baseball stadium.

Baseball in Tiger Stadium. What a dumb idea. For one it won't fit.

FIFA had a friendly scheduled for Olympia Field in June 2 years ago

It ended up getting canceled the day before because the Hondurans said the field was shitty and the players refused to play on it.

I think having football games in Wrigley Field and other baseball stadiums is a dumb idea. This is the same.

It would be impossible and stupid for a real game but it would be pretty awesome as an exhibition game. The Dodgers played a game in the LA Coliseum with whackadoodle dimensions.

The caveat was mid week games. I know a lot of people are unreasonably mad about this question but “if” they did it, I think it would be worth going to.

LSU could bring that Jap team they used to play exhibition games against in the early 2000s back to BR for a game in Tiger Stadium.

It would be pretty damn cool. But if anybody plays baseball in tiger stadium it would more than likely be the Savannah bananas.

I could see this, seeing as how the Bananas don’t play actual baseball anyway.
