Every other CFB stadium seems to be numbered in 10 yard increments:

I don’t know. It’s an interesting observation that I’ve never even thought about.

Yes. I used to be a campus tour guide and that was a fun fact

Also one of the few with the H style goal posts

Though others have mimicked this through the years, LSU appears to be the only major college which currently (2021 season) paints numerals in increments of 5 yards on its field for football games.

Georgia did it during the Herschel years, but I don't know when they stopped.

Fresno St. had it in recent years, though not anymore. That’s the only one I have seen recently.

Probably. And TS is also the only stadium (I think) that has 2 posts for the goal post.

The 5 yard lines & “H” style goal posts are a few things that sets Tiger Stadium apart

Because Louisiana has the 2nd worst educational system in the country this makes it easier for the masses to count.
