LSU-South Carolina game moved to Baton Rouge
Gazette Staff Report
Due to the severe flooding in South Carolina, the Southeastern Conference announced on Wednesday that Saturday’s LSU at South Carolina college football game will be moved to Baton Rouge.
The game will start at 2:30 p.m. at Tiger Stadium.
“Yesterday, we made the extremely difficult decision to cancel classes for the week due to the stress 34,000 students would place on the region’s recovering infrastructure, there is no doubt 85,000 fans would exact the same toll,” said University of South Carolina President Harris Pastides in a released statement. “In the spirit of supporting our South Carolina community that is so supportive of Gamecock Nation, we have decided to move the game to Baton Rouge. The stress on law enforcement and first responders is too great. Moreover, we’ve had many in the Carolina family directly impacted by the flooding.”
No word yet on how many tickets and if and when they will be made available to the public.
