LSU is going to do its best to recreate as much of the home-field environment as it can for South Carolina, the "home team" in Saturday's relocated game in Baton Rouge.
Severe flooding and a state of emergency in Columbia forced the school to move Saturday's game against the Tigers from Williams-Brice Stadium to Death Valley. LSU will accommodate the Gamecocks not only by sending the ticket proceeds back to South Carolina but also by learning the team's fight songs for the game.
Since South Carolina will not be able to send its own pep band to the game, LSU's marching band director told WAFB in Baton Rouge that the band will learn South Carolina's alma mater and fight song for the pregame festivities.
#LSU band is learning South Carolina Gamecocks' alma matter + fight song, plans to incorporate in pregame, per Roy M King. @WAFB

Tickets will be sold to LSU fans beginning Wednesday afternoon (you can access the purchasing information here) and the remainder of the tickets will go on sale for the general public on Thursday evening at 7 p.m. ET. While LSU students and season ticket holders will have first priority on purchasing tickets for the event, all of the proceeds will go back to South Carolina.
