The first one I went to was as a freshmen in 05. It was vs Auburn and LSU won in OT. I still remember how surprised I was by the noise. I thought I was inside a drum. I was also quite shocked that you basically stand an entire game in the student section.

I was about 4 years old. I think it was Rice, but I could be mistaken.

I was 12 years old at the 1959 Sugar Bowl LSU 7 and Clemson 0. What I thought remarkable was that everything was in Color. I had only watched Football on Black and White TV. The Grass was Green and the Colors of the Uniforms. I could not get over how everything looked real. I had a Chinese Bandit Hat and bought a Pennant that I had on my wall for a long time as well as the Chinese Bandit Hat. We were in the South End Zone at Tulane Stadium. After the game we stopped and ate at Middendorfs because we were going back to Amite.

Mine was actually a road game. 02 vs. VA Tech.
Already hated Tech with a passion, that certainly didn't change my feelings for them.

1995 Arkansas, I was 15 years old. I had been watching LSU football on tv for as long as I understood the game, but had never had anyone take me to a game because my parents weren't really sports fans.
Then one day someone gave my brother free tickets to this game and finally I got the chance to see Tiger Stadium and LSU football in person. It was magical!

2001 Utah State my freshman year. There was a rainbow over the field. We sat in the plastic lawn chairs in the handicap section on ground level in the North endzone. We had no idea what we were doing and kept haggling to trade tickets and ended up with those.

LSU vs. Ole Miss '86
David Browndyke missed a field goal as time expired. My dad sent me in with his attorney at the time, and he got shite faced and I learned some new words that day. I was 8 it was awesome I remember it like it was yesterday.

One of the next games I got to go to was the Ohio State game the next year. Sat with my dad in the south end zone that was a great ball game!

ETA: My first road game was at Notre Dame in the 80's. Gary James scored a TD with about a minute left. We were sitting on the second row of the end zone and there was no fence. I was hitting him on the shoulder pads after he scored. It was awesome!!!
