Tiger Stadium was never known as Deaf Valley, and if you take the time to look it up you will find 1000's of articles in newspapers about Death Valley and that is before 1970.
You will not find one, repeat one article calling Tiger Stadium Deaf Valley before 1986.
When the PMAC picked up the nickname Deaf Dome around 1978-79 many started to mix up the names, until by 1990 you even have sport writers mixing the two stadiums names.
Now Politz's take on Death Valley was deaf valley.
The question always comes up about Clemson and LSU and the name Death Valley, Clemson picked up the name form a sport writers article on a game around 1947.
But that is not the first stadium with the nickname Death Valley, that belongs to an old north eastern football power, that had the nickname before 1920.

The Tiger Rag story is as follows:
The first recording was in 1917 by the "Origianl Dixieland Jass Band". However, the tune had been played for years in New Orleans and was popular there before the recording.
According to music historians, local (N.O.) musicians copied a popular, but ancient Native American tune played on crude flutes and drums, dedicated to the worship of the striped catamount. Apparently, tribes along the Mississippi had weekly rituals where the music was played. These rituals are native to Louisiana and were noted by early explorers.
