How many games in Death Valley

Have you been/project to go to, over, say, your lifetime? Wait wait, now, i know it's an impossible question to answer, and may sound really stupid..but let's take me, for instance, 20 years old, have attended about 35 games in T.S. over my lifetime(my parents aren't season ticket holders, so i don't get the luxury of going whenever i want to or when offered)
..i think i'm going to about 4 games in TS this year..probably will go to every home game next year, and get season tix after that once/if i get a stable job..so ill be 22 in 2011..say i live another 50 years..to be 72, and attend (average) 5 home games a year..250 games, add that to the 46 games from before i was 22, and that's like..296 games at Tiger Stadium! (just a rough estimate, of course)
Lol obviously it's much too hard to calculate in the future, but how many games have you been to/project going to over your lifetime? Maybe God will let me watch LSU football games in heaven, if not, well, not sure i wana go!
Just thought it interesting..

If I ever get the opp to get tickets I will but even with a stable I don't see me getting tickets from LSU anytime soon. No one is parting with theirs

i'm 29, grew up in Shreveport... I'd have to say b/t 100-115 home games and all 12 SEC away stadiums (minus Fayetville of course)with many multiple visits.
only missed a handful of home games since I came down here in 97 for college... now I am a season ticket holder

I've been to almost every one since the earthquake game in 88. I was a little over a month old when that happened. If I had to guess how many I've missed I'd say probably 15 to 20. My parents have been season ticket holders since the late 70's and they passed them on to me this year.

Every home game since 1993. I was 17 then. So I plan on going to everyone until I die. So if I die at 80, then that would be about 500.

that's badass..i hope i can average about 2 away games each year also, but it would be tough

I have been to 75 home games and 12 away games, including 1 SECCG ('03), and 1 BCSCG ('04.)
First game: Oct 25, 1969: LSU 21 Auburn 20
I was real little, but I remember most of it.
First game as a student: Sept. 6 1980 FSU 16 LSU 0.
I hope to attend many many more.....

Rough estimates here. I'm 37. 1st game in '77 vs Rice (we won 77-0). Also attended the Washington game (and several in between) in '83, which was the largest crowd in TS up until they added the new upper deck. I figure I've been to about 20 games from '77 - '90. And since the start of the '91 season I've only missed 1 home game (Ark game in '93). So I estimate I've been to 150 games in TS. And starting in '90 I have made at least 1 road trip every year.

I estimate I've attended 55-60 games in Tiger Stadium thus far in my life. I don't think I will come anywhere near that number in my remaining years. (Currently 34) Things in life change and its just not as convenient to make these games. If I can make a game a year, from this point on, that would put me a 90-95 for my lifetime.

I've been to 4 LSU games (so far away). BUT I did go to the 2004 National Championship game vs. OU - Best night ever!

Son, you have to see a game in Tiger Stadium on a saturday night !! There is NOTHING like being there, NOTHING in the universe...
I agree, the 2004 Sugar Bowl was awesome...

havent missed a home game since 93 and i have season tickets and im off every weekend, sooooo.....oh yeah, i got it pretty good

I'm 26, I've missed 5 home games since the '90 season. Stupid weddings/high school dances, etc. Not sure how many my parents brought me to before the '90 season. Maybe a dozen? So I've been to roughly 150 so far. God willing, I will continue to see 98% of home games for the next 50 years.
My grandfather is 84 and has only missed 11 home games since the 1942 season (not including when he had to go fight in WWII). I could only hope to be that lucky. He's had his season ticket's since the early 1950's!
