Mississippi State has announced a two-game series with Louisiana-Lafayette Thursday. The games will be played Nov. 3, 2018 and Aug. 31, 2019.
What makes this series unique from typical home-and-home series is the fact that the 2019 games will be played in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans – of course known best as the home of the NFL’s Saints. ULL will be the “home” team in the 2019 New Orleans game.
“This series makes sense because MSU gets a home game, followed by a neutral-site contest in a destination city our fans can get to easily,” MSU Director of Athletics Scott Stricklin said in a released statement. “The opportunity to open the 2019 season in the Superdome on Labor Day weekend is a huge plus.”
Mississippi State currently leads the all-time series between the two schools by a 3-1 margin.
