LSU’s football game against Troy, which was scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday in Tiger Stadium, has been postponed because of the effects of Hurricane Gustav.
The two schools will play in Baton Rouge Nov. 15, according to a press release from the LSU Athletic Department. Both schools were to have open dates that weekend.
“The welfare of the people of Baton Rouge, the uncertain power issues facing all of us and the condition of Tiger Stadium were all factors in making this decision,” said LSU director of athletics Joe Alleva. “We are fortunate that both schools had a common open date later in the year. I am appreciative of the cooperation of the good people at Troy for their understanding of this situation.”
Fans are advised to keep their Game 2 tickets for the LSU-Troy game to use on November 15.
Tiger Stadium sustained significant damage -- mostly to some interior glass and the north end zone scoreboard -- when Gustav came ashore in south Louisiana and blew through Baton Rouge on Monday afternoon. The school’s Web site also reported debris in the stands and on the field.
In addition, LSU soccer and volleyball events scheduled for this weekend have been cancelled. The LSU Soccer Complex suffered considerable damage from Hurricane Gustav and the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, home of the volleyball team, is being utilized as a medical special needs facility.
This week’s edition of The Les Miles Radio Show, scheduled for Wednesday night at Walk On’s Restaurant, has also been cancelled.
