I lived on the fourth floor of east stadium for three weeks and hated it. We were put there while the air conditioning was being repaired in Graham Hall. This was the fall of'71. There wasn't any privacy and we felt like we were living in the U.N.

1967 to 1970 ... North Stadium, second floor, room 112 ... facing what used to be Campus Security (small building between what is now the P-Mac and the Cox Communications Center for Student Athletes). From my vantage point I could watch the Ole Miss riots; The Tiger Train would stop at my front door; and all my meals were at Hatchet Hall. We had no air-conditioning and the heat in the winter came from gurgling steam heaters. Ahh, those were the days.

I lived in South Stadium room 107 in 1964- I think-worst dorm room ever.

North Stadium, (the projects) fall of '84. Didn't officially live there but crashed at my friends more nights than my official residence, so I claim to be a resident.

Also worked at Hatcher Cafereteria that my first fall.

I lived right above ya, North Stadium 312 for the first semester of my soph. year, after being in N Stad. 348 my frosh year. Then a room opened up in South Stadium, and I was there for the rest of my stay at LSU. Only had 2 to a room instead of 4, and a phone in the room instead of down the hall. Quite an improvement, IMHO.

north stadium 1967 - wild place, band member played trumpet late at night, all we did was play bullray?? - can't remember how to spell it.
west stadium 3rd floor 1968-1969 - no AC, fun when the flooded the floors above and water came down the radiators and turned the whole top half of the room into a fog - we kept all valuables off thee floors so they would not get wet.
then moved to Nirvanna on west Chimes

Lived in the stadium and worked as a floor proctor in 1965. No A/C. Least costly quarters for men on campus at the time.

Fall of -86. I don't remember the room number but I was on the east side facing Hodges Hall as well. I remember that we didn't have a/c, it was as hot as hades and in the morning with the windows open being rudely awakened by the trash truck emptying the cafeteria dumpters at the break of dawn. It was nice on football saturdays though. Oh and how could I forget the millitary style showers down the hall.

I lived in South Stadium, second floor, '64-'66. On homegame Fridays, 10-15 of us would go to the last room in the hall, overlooking the visitors gate, and relentlessly TIGERBAIT the visiting teams as they came for their Friday walk through practice. The all scurried from the bus to the locker room to avoid our shouting--- except Alabama. The Bear made his team stand outside the busses and listen to our relentless TIGERBAITING until WE tired of it. Only then would Kenny Stabler and his team mates go into the locker rooms. Bama beat us the next day 30-7, enroute to another national championship. That Bear was some kind of psychologist.
