The LSU Tigers will open the 2029 football season at the home of the Dallas Cowboys.
LSU’s 2029 season-opener against Southern Methodist University will now take place in AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The schools made the announcement jointly.
In 2025, the Tigers and Mustangs announced a two-game series that will have SMU coming to Tiger Stadium on Sept. 2, 2028. The return game was going to be at Gerald J. Ford Stadium in 2029. The game scheduled for Sept. 1, 2029, will now be played at AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys.
The trip to AT&T Stadium will be LSU’s first game there since defeating Miami, 33-17, to open the 2018 season. LSU is 4-0 all-time in AT&T Stadium with victories over TCU (2013), Texas A&M (2011 Cotton Bowl), Oregon (2011), and Miami (2018).
The 2028 contest in Tiger Stadium will be the first meeting between LSU and SMU since 1934. The teams have met in football only twice, with the Mustangs holding an 1-0-1 advantage in the series.
SMU won, 51-0, during the 1922 season, and the two teams tied 14-14 during the 1934 season.
