In 1953, the horseshoe was enclosed with the double deck South addition, which raised seating capacity to over 67k.

Kinda sad, actually.

They have that co-west champs banner from 2003 though.

I’m anxious to see what they come up with stadium banner wise for this past season.

The funny thing is 68K is like the amount of people left in TS after halftime against Southeastern or Nicholls and TS looks completely empty

LSU vs ole miss was played in Either TS or Jackson from 1961-1989. The seating capacity in Oxford was too small to seat enough people. We played at home from 61-65.

what's the deal with the Ole Miss obsession.

First it was Bama for about 10 years, then it migrated to A&M, and now it's Ole Miss.

Who the hell cares how big their stadium is. Move on, people.

We need to smear the queer (OM) all offseason and until the Bama game this November.

Once thats complete we can move on to Bama, Texas, and the playoffs

To be fair, Bama was basically kind of the same for many of those years as well, with on campus Denny Stadium (which was also rather rinky dink) versus Legion Field Birmingham.
