“Tiger Stadium provides a pressure-cooker feel before every kickoff against SEC competition, especially when the game’s played at night — which happens often,” CBS Sports’ Brad Crawford said.
LSU welcomes Louisiana Tech, Florida, Southeastern Louisiana, South Carolina, Texas A&M, Arkansas, and Western Kentucky into Baton Rouge for its 2025 home schedule.
“You get southern Super Bowl vibes before Alabama-LSU or Florida-LSU in Baton Rouge because the games mean so much to a passionate and buzzed fanbase,” Crawford wrote.
Since 2003, LSU is 129-21 at home.
The Tigers generated plenty of hype during the offseason. Head coach Brian Kelly’s staff took an aggressive approach to recruiting the transfer portal, which resulted in the highest-ranked class of the cycle. LSU’s talent, mixed with a favorable home schedule, has the Tigers riding high into the 2025 season.
