Some publications also continuously referred to the stadium as the "Sugar Bowl", even though that wasn't the official name (I guess since the Cotton, Orange, and Rose bowls were actually played in stadiums with the same name as their respective bowl games).

I wasn't old enough to have been, my dad went plenty of times. He said when you sat in the upper deck it felt like you were a mile from the field. The stadium extended out more than it went up. Contrast that with tiger stadium which is a taller stadium.

Looks like Tiger Stadium. Imagine same architects.

The last time I went to that stadium was the nite the weenies beat LSU for the first time in 25 yrs. A very sad nite, but the weenies' fans were so happy most were crying. Made me want to throw up. But that foot stomping noise in the upper decks was almost scary, as the upper decks would start swaying just a bit, too. Friar Tucks across the street was one of the greatest pre game party bars in the city at the time.

Tulane Stadium Experience
Looks like Tiger Stadium. Imagine same architects.
Tiger Stadium's east and west grandstands were erected in the early 1890's, with subsequent additions in the 1910's, 30's, 50's, 70's, and 00's. And another one to come in 2014, pushing capacity to 100,000.
Tulane Stadium was begun in the early 20th century around the 1920's. It was largely steel while Death Valley is mostly concrete.

Super Bowl ... IV? Vikings (Roy Winston .. LSU) vs Kansas City (Hank Stram)
Also, ZZ Top. I think that's the show where Lynyrd Skynyrd was supposed to show, but crashed, but things are kind of fuzzy.

Winston delivered one of the most devastating tackles ever filmed. In a game against the Miami Dolphins in 1972, fullback Larry Csonka circled out into the flat to catch a pass. Just as he caught the pass, Winston hit him from behind with such force that the 240-pound Csonka was nearly cut in half. The tackle was so grotesque it was shown on The Tonight Show. Csonka dropped the ball and rolled on the field in agony. He thought his back was broken and literally crawled off the field

1924.
You're right. I meant to say the first LSU game was in 1893. It was 1924, with the subsequent additions...

The Tulane Stadium you are talking about was opened in 1926. The North End and upper decks are steel while the lower decks and South End are concrete.
There was an earlier Tulane Stadium (called the Second Staduim) behind the Navy ROTC building by McAlister Auditorium (that was torn down back in the 1970's....)

Saw my first Saints game there

Except for parking, the old Tulane Stadium was a great experience. My first LSU game was the Sugar Bowl vs. Syracuse in 1964. I'll never forget it.
The Saints games were amazing and what I especially liked was the locker room location was outside the stadium so you could watch the players walk in. Was at the first game and saw the Gilliam opening kickoff return for TD. The noise level was off the charts.
The Dempsey kick was amazing. Most of the fans left. We were in the South endzone/West corner and I remember standing on the bleachers because no one was around us.
I unfortunately saw LSU lose to Tulane in 73 (I think it was?) LSU had a streak of like 25 in a row up until that game I believe? But I remember LSU fans outnumbering Tulane fans by a large margin.
