well, they've had a Death valley sign on Howard's Rock since the 60s. I have no idea how long it's been on their stadium. It's been on Tiger Stadium since the mid to late 70s I believe.

ETA: if i had to guess, Clemson didn't put it on their stadium like this until later in response to LSU "stealing their nickname" and doing it, otherwise why would they phrase is so similarly?


Ben Hill Griffin, for instance, has the nickname of The Swamp, and also has a similar sign, but phrased differently

So did the "Welcome to Death Valley" sign at Tiger Stadium predate "Clemson Welcomes You to Death Valley" at their place?


No idea. This is all I could find on the topic (last line). Didn't even know about their sign

Didn't even notice the new tiger heads on each end at first glance. This is so awesome!

It would be pretty cool to paint the east upper deck bleachers with "LSU". The ships going up the river would be able to see that pretty well.

The Rant often shits on LSU administration for being incompetent buttholes when it comes to "classy" branding.


Alleva really knocked this one out of the park. fricking love it.

That's incredibly tacky. Leave the seats alone; next thing you'll be trying is a card stunt.

Wait, now I'm confused. Will it light up purple? Or gold? If they are going to add purple inserts. I hope it's gold!

Gold on the sides, purple on the face. They removed the purple part to install the lights I guess.

They used to have that in the SEZ. Not sure how long ago they did away with it.

Ahh such uniformity in Tiger Stadium back then. That old pic makes my OCD happy.

Love the additions though lol

If it's true that it will end up being purple, that sucks. It would look a whole lot better lit up in gold and looking gold during the day. Purple signage with purple seats .....gold signage would be better

I'm personally not really a fan of yellow signs. I wish the lit up tiger stadium sign on the west side was white and back lit.
