While you make your way to Tiger Stadium on Saturday to catch LSU football’s home opener against Nicholls State, you might want to stop for a tasty treat.
The LSU AgCenter’s dairy store is selling a Nicholls State-inspired flavor for gameday, available from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. before the game at 6:30 p.m.
The ice cream’s flavor is salted caramel sweet corn, inspired by the Nicholls State team name, the Colonels.
The dairy store is located on 118 S Campus Dr. and sells meat and dairy products from cows raised locally by LSU’s very own agriculture department.
Earlier this week, the LSU AgCenter (accompanied by LSU’s mascot Mike the Tiger) visited in-state Nicholls and delivered dozens of pints of the special ice cream.
