If Long did name it after himself it will never be named after anyone.

NEVER!!!

Tiger Stadium: Deaf/Death Valley
Fans with LSU Tigers tickets constantly sell out Tiger Stadium and have done so for generations. When at maximum capacity, Tiger Stadium becomes the seventh largest city in Louisiana! With the old-school design and the metropolis of fans, Tiger Stadium earned the name “Deaf Valley” for the pure sound that can be produced by the crowd. Many times in LSU Tigers history, the deafening crowd is so loud that it can shut down offenses and force penalties on linemen and receivers who cannot hear the snap count.

The “Deaf” eventually evolved into “Death” and the name Death Valley stuck. The name is appropriate as Tiger Stadium and its crowd often eat LSU Tigers opponents alive. Death Valley is a tense atmosphere for visiting teams at night as the shadows cast from the lights above and the thousands upon thousands of fans with LSU Tigers tickets bombard their senses. The decibels really get ratcheted up when hated rivals come to town.

Louisiana laws make it pretty difficult to name state buildings after people, so if Tiger Stadium fits that criteria, I doubt it would be changed anytime soon.

You mean like the Pete Maravich Assembly Center?

i think what he was referring to was that the person has to be dead before you can name a building after them

That is a little different.
We've had Tiger Stadium for almost 90 years. It has always been Tiger Stadium and a mystique has grown around it. To me, Tiger Stadium represents so much more than one persons name. It reminds us all that LSU is bigger than one person and that all us as LSU Tigers are what make that spirit and mystique about the place we love come to life.

I have a feeling that within the next 25 years Tiger Stadium will be named after Coach Miles

Once they add the roof, it will be referred to as the" Dinardo Dome".

I don't think naming a stadium after your legendary coach is being commercial.
