TigerLand has gone downhill so badly!

Was in town this weekend with a few VOL friends and we went by Fred’s to see my old stomping grounds. It was so sad to see how badly run down that area has become. I knew it was happening and had heard about it…… but nothing could have prepared me for seeing that. It literally looks like a dump. When did this happen??

It looked like a dump 15 yrs ago

After Katrina.
The Geaux Zone started the trend of building luxury apartments (b/c of the massive deductions you could take immediately).
Then to counter the outflux, Tigerland became section 8. It went downhill fast while I was in law school (2005-2008).

Need a few pics to confirm downhill status

Tigerland was always kind of a dump but it really turned into a Section 8 shithole in the 00-05 time frame

Yeah frick that place. Haven’t been there since the night we beat A&M in 2019 and I don’t care to ever go back.

I lived in Tiger Plaza in the mid-90s, so it always felt like a dump to me.

One used to be able to get decent coke out of their 20 years ago, or so I’m told.

What do you think is going to happen to Burbank? The same as Tigerland.

The whole Sharlo complex is Section 8.
This is what you get when you support people cradle to grave.

It’s an eye sore that’s for sure

That entire area including all the shitty housing on Alvin Dark needs to be demolished.

It seems like in 10 years student apartments will be 10 miles from campus. Everyone moves into the new complex and then 4/5 years later a newer place is built a few miles away and the old ones are section 8. Everyone wants a new place with new amenities.
I would assume the owners are making guaranteed money without having to do anything on section 8 so they have little reason to sell.

Brightside apartments were decent and Sharlo condos were the best when I was at LSU. Hell, Dennis Tracy and Shaq lived a couple of condos down from me.
The place looks like New Orleans East now. Not good.

It was already a dump in 2011 when I lived there. Can't imagine how bad it is now if it's 80%+ section 8.

Buddy I don’t know when you graduated, but when I graduated in 2008 it was a shithole. We were just too young/drunk to know/care.
You couldn’t pay me to go around TigerLand now.

It used to be a great place for a frat fight. GDI's and other undesirables have taken over.

Such a shame. I lived in Brightside in the late 80s. Mike Papajohn (or his friends) lived there as well. We could walk to the Circle K past Sharlo and grab some beers. Guess you can’t do that now.
