1. 1983 LSU played Washington. It was a day game. That game held all time attendance record until the East Side expansion. Why? Must be specific as possible.

2. From the 80 's till today, 2 significant things changed about Mike The Tiger ( not the new cage)

Name em and why.

3. What most significant change in LSU game day experience occurred from then to now. (looking for one , but multiple answers accepted) .

4. Bonus, in the mid 80's students lined up for bowl tickets outside the stadium. For one of the Sugar Bowls there was a major concert act in the PMAC that you could hear from the line. Who was it, what was memorable about it?

5. Super Bonus--how is it 4 degrees away from Angelina Jolie?

1. Nope

Band change correct. But looking for something more impactful.

Was there in mid-80's and I don't think I can answer any, but here's a half-arse try:

1. Last game we could bring liquor into stadium.

2. Mike IV replaced by Mike V, and Mike V replaced by Mike VI. I lived in North Stadium Dorm (F83-S84) with no air conditioning so had to keep windows open. I hardly slept that year because Mike IV, who would sleep all day, would roar at night and keep me awake.

3. Could no longer bring liquor into stadium.

4. U2.

5. Who cares about that slut?

Football trivia with no questions about football players, plays or games. Solid.

I am guessing that students were allowed to enter with a student ID and no ticket was required.
