1996 LSU/Vandy white out game, I was 8 or 9 I believe. I went with my grandfather who has since passed but it was one of my fondest memories with him.
ETA: I'd love to find a ticket stub to this game but I'd have no idea where to even look.

1958 Hardin Simmons. Tigers won 20-6 (had to look up score)
Just turned 12 and we had just moved back to La.
Spoiled me a bit, and I've hated UTenn ever since 59 refs screwed us out of back to back NC. Now live in Tn, and loved tellin my Vols friends, that 2001 SEC Champ was payback. Little late but sweet nonetheless.

1987-LSU vs Ohio State
Just me and my dad. I was little then, so I don't remember much other than we walked in the stadium right by the visitor lockerroom/roped off area where the visitor lockerroom is now, and saw the Buckeyes up close and personal while stretching & walking around.
Then I remembered a loud commotion before the game ever started while I was munching on my nachos. It wasn't until a couple years later that I learned that the commotion was over the Andolsek/Spielman scuffle at midfield
The game finished in a 13-13 tie.
ETA: I'm one of the few that can say my first game in TS ended in a tie.

Good post.
My first game, fresh off the bus from California, was LSU vs Mississippi State, 1987 -- my freshman year at LSU.
My friend was affiliated with the Boy Scout usher program and got me in.
I vividly remember the smell of bourbon hitting me as I passed through the gate.
My friend was stationed in the goldback seats around the 45 YL.
As we stood there, I remember being shocked at the old men sitting there. They way there were non-chalantly mixing drinks. Then as the game proceeded and they got drunk, the cussing started.
Those old guys were arguing with each other (Hodson! NO, Guidry!) and cussing a blue streak.
Never before had I seen such passion at a sporting event nor had I seen so many intoxicated people in one place brazenly violating a rule.
Right then, I knew I was home.

I dont remember my first game, I was too young. The first game I remember was the Georgia in 2003. I was in the 5th grade. I remember this old man being helped jump over the fence after the game when everyone stormed te field.

We walloped them 55-21. I was 6.

Sept 30 1961 against Texas A&M. I was 10 and road the train (Tiger Special) from N.O. with my Dad. The train was picking up people all along the River Parishes. There was an excitement in the air, and I remember the smell of lots of booze and hearing laughter. Feeling the train stop and disembarking and seeing this huge stadium rising out of the open fields with people streaming to it for the first time was awesome. He took me to Mike's cage, and to watch the TGBFTL come down the hlll. I will never forget the climb to our seats and seeing the field all lit up, and the teams warming up.
Gate 12, Section 9 Upper deck, Row CC was our spot. Boy Scouts asking to show you to your seats. My Dad telling me that he used to do the same thing when he was a boy. the band collecting in the South End Zone and starting the Tiger Salute. Those memories live on in me every time I see or hear of Tiger Stadium. You see, I lost my dad on this last New Year's eve night. I just want to thank him for giving me something so special as "Saturday Night in Tiger Stadium" I was and still am hooked. Y'all know what it's like

I was in the SEZ for that game too! You weren't by any chance the son of a LaPlace State Trooper at that time were you? (Trying to find him. I think his last name was Tamburella).

I was about four years old. I think it was Rice.

Opening day 2006. I watched them on TV forever, but I lived in NY and my parents would never let me come down for a game. We don't have that culture of going to see our team play if they are out of town. (I have since learned otherwise and go to almost every home and away game).
I was a junior in high school for my first game. I was in town touring LSU as a perspective college to attend (even though I really had no doubt).
