re: Is Death Valley dead?

I took my 11th trip to BR for the Florida game and I gotta say ... I don't know how you could criticize Tigers fans. One week after the deflating loss to Alabama and the atmosphere was great, the tailgating was sensational, and the overall weekend experience was fantastic. I don't get the angst and self loathing. It's a special place. Geaux Tigers!

We have a unique perspective and higher standards- sure, it’s great and better than most every other stadium and mind-boggling and wildly entertaining for out-of-towners, but we want it to be as glorious as the best game we ever went to as a kid with dad or grandpa…
It takes more to impress us. Another example would be the French Quarter- world-famous tourist destination, visitors love it; locals say it’s trash and no good anymore
