"That place quites down real fast when you get on em early....."

....what an enligtening statement that is......what place doesn't??? Question is what place picks itself up and continues to come after 'em.....that would be Tiger Stadium also......we will be ready for these a-holes.....no doubt we can make this place miserable for opponents.....just ask UFAG the last two times they have visited BR

I used to have season tickets until the early nineties when it got to where I had to make some tough decisions and I to get rid of my tickets and sold them to my brotherinlaw. I had those tickets form 1969 until 1991. Thought that there was no way I would ever get rid of them but the powers in charge at LSU changed the rules that eventually cost me mine. Have not been back since just wish things would change in a way that would allow the average fan an opportunity to be able to go. I still love my Tigers and am looking to go again this year.

I have my first one and only son I am 60 my son is 4 years old and would like to at least once or twice a year have the chance to be able to take to see what it is like in Tiger Stadium. He wants his room painted in LSU colors so I am going to do that for his Birthday in Sept. Let him experiance what I did when I was child. Just hope I can find some tickets for my family My wife, daughter and son. My daughter I adopted but she is mine just the same. None of them have ever been to Tiger Stadium and plan on taking them this year.

What contributes more to the demise of the noise in the stadium is:
1. Student section leaving games early
2. Student section using profanity during school music
3. The declining and loss of "Tiger Bait" as a chant as oppossed to "BOOOO"
4. Television where ticket holders decide to not go or sell tickets to people who don't understand the culture.

Probably others....

You are contradicting yourself fricktard. In a earlier post you said TS is a shell of what it used to be in 70's and now you are saying even Bear Bryant knew it. Total fricking retard.


Wow, you are a real sophisticated intellectual. I seem to imply that Tigerstadium can still bring it with best of them(SEC's best stadium crowds..PSU.etc..)

But, more importantly, when I mentioned Bear Bryant's remarks towards scoring early, whom was an SEC HC from 1946-1952 and 1958 to 1982, his remarks obviously would apply to his and those eras.

Urban Meyer and all HCs obviously like getting up early on the road, regardless the venue.

Please look at your juvenile belligerent post, and it's extremely vague analogy..The Bear as Bama HC when making the snare drum comment about Tigerstadium, coached from 1958 to 1982(and vs his disciple Charlie Mac from 1962 to 1979.) Thus, the 1970s and the Bear remarks about getting an early lead in Tigerstadium and/or his comparing it to being inside of a snare drum..make perfect sense.

P.S. Note the vast majority of those in this thread that are old enough, concur on TS not being as consistently as noisy as it once was, even if most agree games like Fla '07 are every bit amongst it's greatest crescendos and sustained noise..you being 30 yrs old should know some of this by now.

This is my second marriage and my wife is young. I was told back in the early 70's that I could not have children, in other words I was sterile. But 7 years ago my wife and I had a divorce and I remarried 5 years ago and guess what happened we have a 4 year old son now I was 56 then now I am 60 as of today the 16th and my son will be 4 on the 27th of Sept. So yes strange things happen, but I would not change a thing even if I could. I am retired and I spend every day with him. He even goes and plays golf with me when I go by myself. He wants to be a Tiger too and I tell him all the time keep on dreaming and that dream just might come true with God's help and a lot of hard work.

Exactly, he's lost every time he's been there, the stupid tool doesn't even realize it.


He was an assistant for the Colorado State and Notre Dame teams that beat us in Tiger Stadium in the 90's, so he's seen it quiet. Although, even back then it may have been louder, since it was before the Athletic Administration decided it would do its best to silence Tiger Stadium.

Today it is a totaly different mindset with the fans it is what has changed the aire about Tiger Stadium. It is just a shell of what it used to be.


I truly believe this.

Reminds me of 2000 when someone from Tennessee criticized Tiger Stadium - that was an awesome game.

I've always loved this clip from 1990. Do I want to go back to when we had a mediocre to merely good football team? Hell, no.

But TS crowds seemed to have more of an "edge" back then. Heck, I love the ball-boy not taking any shite.

This game was loud from the get-go and never let up. The crowd never sat down. I've been going to games since the early 70's and this was, by far, the loudest I've ever heard Tiger stadium for an ENTIRE game. There was just never a break from it during this game. It was an epic night in every possible way.
