LSU – Florida moved to Baton Rouge for November 19

LSU – Florida is now going to be Florida- LSU, and it’s going to be played in Baton Rouge instead of The Swamp. The next two match-ups between the two hated rivals will be played in The Swamp in 2017 and 2018, and there will be no joke games against Presybterian (Florida) and South Alabama (LSU).

LSU has bought out South Alabama’s contract, reportedly for $1.5 million.

The game was postponed from last Saturday because of Hurricane Matthew, drawing massive criticism from the media and both sets of fans.

“We are happy with the decision to have our game against Florida rescheduled for November 19 in Tiger Stadium. As previously reported, it was our wish to have played the game last weekend but all options that we put on the table were declined. After extensive discussion, the University of Florida agreed to play the 2016 contest in Baton Rouge and LSU agreed to play the 2017 game in Gainesville,” said LSU AD Joe Alleva.
