Your first memory of Tiger Stadium?

My parents took me along to games as a toddler, but don't remember those.
My first actual memory of Tiger Stadium is actually hearing it from our home in Southdowns.
Our babysitter took me and my little sisters out on the porch one Saturday night and told us to listen...sure enough it could be heard.
That sound still gives me goosebumps to this day.

LSU vs Mississippi State 1998 was my first game as a child. Me, my dad, and my little brother. One of the best memories I have.

I remember walking up to the opening through an opening to get to our seats and someone had a Kevin Faulk banner hanging. My 7 year old self thought this was a curse word and grinned at the apparent lawlessness I was witnessing around me. I knew instantly I liked this place.

quote:I got sick and threw up. I used to seat in the purple boxes in the student section when i was like 7 to 14 years old. I probably threw up every game for the first 2 or 3 years. I think it was because of all the crazy students yelling and throwing beer on me.

It's hard to really say. I remember getting left at someones house when my parents went, but I don't have a specific memory of my first game as a child.
I do remember the old dot matrix score board. You know, the one that actually put the lyrics to the alma mater on it.

It was loud and cold. Don't remember the game or who we played. I was probably 5-6 with my dad and sister.
I do remember taking my jacket and outer shirt off because I was jumping up and down and yelling the whole time and I got hot.

We played Rice, that's all I remember. I was about four years old.

1986 LSU v. aTm. Our Neighbor , Mr. M. gave us tickets to the game. I don't remember the score nor do I care to. I had such a blast. I couldn't stop yelling. The next day I annoyed the shite out of my folks to buy me a LSU jersey. In retrospect it was a horrible jersey. THe kind with the holes in em.

My first game in Tiger Stadium was in 2000 vs MSU. I was 11 at the time and was just in awe when I saw the field and all of the fans. I was blown away by the number of people, the lights, the sounds... everything. It was truly an amazing experience.

Around 91 or 92 season & Bama handled us all day. But I was in town from North La chasing arse. At least I succeeded were our Tigers couldn't. Special thanks to that unk student sitting beside us who had a constant supply of spirits that would help seal the deal after the game. Damn, to be 19 yrs old again.

lots of blurry memories in those early years but the first one that i remember exactly what game it was is 1993 Florida. Sitting in the rain watching Florida demolish us was no fun

2000 vs Tennessee
Taking the escalators up to the top deck of the old west upper and seeing a dead rat
Then of course the end when you couldn't even see the field because of all the fans.
I was 11

Froze my arse off. That is all.

1995 vs North Texas. I remember it being the loudest thing i'd ever heard.

LSU/Miami, 1988. Not good. It rained so much that Jimmy Johnson's hair almost moved.

Bring Back the Magic game was the first game I appreciated as a fan. It was amazing. I have some dim memories before that of being the only people in a section in the West Upper and my dad saying nobody'd notice if we renamed Curley's Corner as TigerattheU's corner.

Halloween Night, 1959. I'm old.

Like others, my dad started taking me to games so early that my very first memories are hazy and blurry at best. The first thing I fell in love with as a kid was Mike the Tiger. The second thing was the band. This was around 1978/1979.
The thing that stuck out at me right off the bat, was LSU vs Tulane. That was a completely different animal back then. I remember asking my dad why people got so mad because we saw a few fist fights. It was like that. He told me to stay close and not to repeat anything I heard.
Overall, I remember the atmosphere being much more rowdy, loud, I remember hearing people randomly yell "Gooooooooooo Tiiiiiiiigggggeeeeerrrrs!" You don't hear that much anymore.
