Tiger Stadium has a knack for attracting random guests to football games, mostly due to the stadium getting so much publicity and being revered as a fun place to attend a game.

My favorite was LSU vs. Florida in 2009 when Cuba Gooding, Jr walked into the end zone in front of the student section before the game, waved to the crowd, and then a standing back flip a la Jerry Macguire. I have no idea why he was there, but a drunken me went apeshit, along with the rest of the students who saw him.

What are some of your favorites you have seen over the years?

SHAQ DOES NOT COUNT AS A CAMEO, AS HE GOES TO A SHITLOAD OF GAMES (doesn't mean Shaq isn't awesome, but I would hardly call it a random visit when he is there )

When I worked for the team I was chillen before the game in one of the rooms next to the locker room. All the sudden Im like Holy shite Matt Damon in the building. Dude comes in swag as frick with a mardi gras long sleeve collared shirt. About an hour later I found out it was Matt Flynn






Story is true minus me actually thinking it was Matt Damon

I was drunk at a game in 2006 and was sitting in the box seats and thought that the Entergy New Orleans CEO was Barry Bonds.

This guy (I think he was on LSU Board of Supervisors)


I asked him, "Are you Barry Bonds?" He laughed and walked away.......then I found $20.

Hal Hunter's cameo as head football coach in '99 was cool as hell.

I remember at the Sugar Bowl (06 maybe?...against ND) when Ray Nagin got announced and immediately booed. Not exactly TS but it's the only one I remember.

I was there for the Cuba Gooding Jr. back flip. It was about an hour before the game and student section went nuts. Neal McDonough from Band of Brothers/Walking Tall was also there with Cuba for that game. Glad somebody else got as much of a kick out of it as i did!

I didn't see Bill Burr (comedian/Breaking Bad cameos), but his Podcast or whatever with him talking about his first trip to Tiger Stadium for the LSU/Bama game in 2012 was hilarious. He said he was taking everything in and ended up getting drunk and talking smack to Bama fans in one of the upper decks up until they won at the end. He basically said the LSU/Bama game/rivalry/whatever you want to call it kicks the Yankees/Sox rivalry's azz (and he's from Massachusetts). He said it was insane and that he never thought he'd be that crushed after a game. He was very complimentary of both teams' fans though.
