Ladd Stadium isn't in a great spot either, so getting an on campus stadium would solve that problem as long as they don't put it right next to Hillsdale. The other problem is just about every game for Power 5 schools are on TV, so trying to get those people to the stadium is difficult especially in the era of huge HD TVs, surround sound, Air Conditioning, etc...
LSU also has a larger than normal contingent in Mobile. LSU misses being the closest P5 school to Mobile by about 5 miles.

The main reason LSU is third behind Auburn for SEC schools in Mobile is because 10% of the city of New Orleans moved to Mobile during/after Katrina. Almost seems (to me anyway) there are roughly as many LSU fans here as there are Auburn fans now, give or take.

No not really. The LSU connection to Mobile was strong way before Katrina. There are a lot of cultural ties between Mobile and Louisiana.
