Let us share our first game memories. Also, if you wish, share your first game as a season ticket holder.

My first game was LSU against FSU in 1982. LSU won 55-21. The most vivid memory I have of the game (I was only 6) is of play being stopped several times because of oranges on the field.

My first game as a season ticket holder was against Auburn in 99. I was so excited to be a season ticket holder and I drove down all the way from Huntsville, AL to watch us get completely pummelled 41-7. It was painful.

I was too young to remember my first games. First game I really remember being at was '97 Florida when I was 8. But, I had been to many games before that one.

Needless to say, it was a GREAT introduction to LSU Tiger Football !!!

2000 game vs Tennessee, remember going up the old escalators on the west side and seeing rats lol Then climbing all the way to the top of the upper deck with bugs flying everywhere. Dont really remember to much of the game, but just being in AWE of the stadium and how huge it was.

Season opener last year against Appalachian St. This 12 year old girl told me she would slit my throat (I had mentioned I was a GA fan). I don't think I will ever forget that!!!!

Do you remember that guy playing four Bass Drums at once with TGBFTL at halftime of that 82 Fla.State game? Pretty .

BTW, my first game was back in the early-mid 60's against Alabama. I've seen a lot of L.S.U. football over the years........

1986 LSU vs Texas A&M Tommy Hodson freshman year. I was 8 years old. I remember lining up outside waiting for their bus and tiger baiting them. I was hooked and have been a fan since.

I went with my Uncle Jim and I remember walking up the ramps and seeing the field for the first time. We played Florida that game and it was one of those games that went back and forth. I remember my uncle putting his head between his legs trying not to watch because it was one of those games. I have been back to a few times since them but it will never be the same after the first time.

The night game against Virginia Tech rivals thats experience but only because it was my first night game.

My first game in Tiger Stadium was Tulane 1957. Backfield had Senior Jimmy Taylor and Sophmore Billy Cannon. Tigers won 25-6, and finished 5-5. I was thrilled to be there-- age 12. Tiger Band, full stadium (67,500), fights breaking out throughout 4th quarter. I doubt that anyone present had any inkling that the Tigers would be National Champions the next year> Little did i know then that I would graduate from LSU twice (BS 67, JD 75) and be a season ticket holder for the past 35 years. My best game ever? The next one, of course!!
