I think they caught hell from the Fire People for letting so many people go in. I think at that time there was no restriction on the Student Section and they let everyone in that showed up with an ID. I had Season Tickets in the South End Zone and people were everywhere and you could not walk. My Nephew was in the Student Section and he said you could not move, go to the bath room, or anything.

It was awesome! I was in the student section every guy had a girl on his lap whether they were his date or not. That's how I met my college girlfriend

This is the story IIRC. Fire Marshall forced LSU to limit the # of students in the SS.
What's interesting today is that there are localized pockets in the SS that are every bit as dense as was the whole SS in '83. If the ability to evacuate students from the higher sections is the concern, then ok. If other, it would seem the same problem exists today as then just on a lesser scale.
Also, I thought the "capcity" of TS then was approx 76K, not 79K. Can someone confirm?
