re: For the Old Timers. What was it like living in Tiger Stadium?

In the Fall of 1985 I neglected planning for housing. I kinda thought I would find another roomate and rent an apartment. I went back home to Lafayette and spent the Summer fishing offshore, drinking at the strip almost nightly and taking a couple classes.

I think in July I came to realize I had to do something. I hadn't lived in a dorm yet and was going in my Jr year. I decided to try it. My options were Stadium West ( I think) or the Pentagon. I chose the Pentagon (A-311)

We had no AC and it was pretty much a free for all. It was a wild arse place. I loved it and made a few very good friends. My roomate (randomly selected) was a pot head. It didn't bother me but I could have done without it.

We went to the NM game with our wives this year. He is massively successful in the health care business. The whole experience at the Pentagon was one of my best at LSU.
