The difference is the fans and how they are a part of the game. Other fanbases do not participate like we do. I can tell you that when the saints played in TS it was just a stadium. Also, at the championship game in the dome we sat in a sea of Bama fans and they looked at us like we were freaking lunatics for screaming our heads off on every defensive play. Tiger fans make the Tiger Stadium mystique.

The old 8PM kickoffs combined with Mardi Gras atmosphere from day long tailgating, the food, the people (drunkards), the noise level, the band, student section, and a live Tiger outside of the opposing teams locker room.

Forever LSU

Been going to games since the mid 1960s.

1. Whenever I walk up the ramp and see that closed in bowl I always get the same feeling. It hasn't changed a bit since I was a kid and I pray it never does. So for me, the design of the interior stadium is huge. Even when I am in my seat I look around and am amazed at the number of people in that stadium.

2. Crowd noise - I am one of those guys who listens to the play by play in one ear while the game is going on. But, in critical situations, I HAVE to pull that ear mic out and experience that rumble first hand.

3. I do find myself observing the students and the band in sync.

4. Love the traditional cheers - east side and west side yelling "Geaux....Tigers" in the fourth quarter, first down cheer, defensive stop cheer or the occasional "LSU, LSU, LSU."
