When Tiger Stadium is at its best, Geaux Tigers chants or LSU around the stadium. The piped in music kills the crowd in big games.

In 2010 LSU went to Florida to play in the swamp. Most of you remember that game. Florida had turned the tide when Dubose ran a kickoff back for a touchdown (that was the last kickoff return LSU had given up before TCU, incidentally). The crowd was jacked. The stadium was finally loud for the first time all day. After the kickoff to LSU, the game went to a media timeout. The crowd began organically chanting ORANGE and BLUE. It was going to be very difficult for LSU to operate. The stadium operator played Thunder Struck. The crowd was silenced. LSU came out to run its play thereafter to minimal crowd noise. Florida had just killed their home field advantage. LSU went on to win the game.

Dammit, this. I don't see why it's so hard for LSU to understand. Piped in music is for pro stadiums where there's no crowd involvment. Tiger Stadium doesn't need it.
