More "Intimidating" Venue- Death Valley or Alex Box?

Initially, I would jump to say Tiger Stadium for lots of reasons:
- Nickname- Death Valley
- Crowd Volume- Unparalleled
- Crowd Involvement/ band interaction- Unparalleled
- Stadium Size/ structural look (coliseum)
- School football tradition
.....to name a few, BUT, think about the box
-Crowd is loudest (compared to other college baseball stadiums IMO).
-Crowd is EASILY more knowledgeable (leading to well timed crowd noise and involvement)
-Stadium structure is massive compared to most college baseball stadiums.
-Team success is incredible at home
-School baseball history
-National championships
-Intimidator
to name a few
Just wanted to get some opinions.

Death Valley more intimidating
Old Alex Box was louder than New Box, but less offense due to bats makes crowd less interested as it is more of a pitching game

This really shouldn't be a debate: Death Valley

For an opposing team I would go with The Box. Fan proximity is what does it for me.

Before last year, it would have been hands down Alex Box simply because LSU NEVER lost a one on one post season battle at home. Part of my disgust from last year is that we lost our invicibility at home in the post-season.
(Yes, I know about the 3 home regional losses, but Skip never lost once he reached the finals of the regionals, and Smoke was... well, Smoke)

The Box. The fans are on top of the opposing team and can can distract if not fully intimidate players.

Yea, never should have built a new stadium IMO.

I would say the Box due to the fact that baseball teams are not used to playing in front of large crowds. Large football crowds are common place.

Until opposing teams win. Then it's victory laps for everyone!

The box and tiger stadium are the most intimidating venues in their respective sports, but the margin is much wider for the box. There's not a college baseball venue that's even close from what I've heard.

death valley crowd doesnt cheer for the other team

When talking about "intimidating" stadiums, NO baseball stadium is even in the same league as an average football stadium.
Tiger Stadium by several light years.
