Yeah. You weren't able to get the full experience. I haven't been there in a bit, but I think Harbaugh has reinvigorated the fan base.

However, I don't think anything tops SEC night games in BR. I remember watching some of them as a kid and saying to myself, "Dang, I gotta check that place out." Just looked like the atmosphere was on another level. Then, when I saw the Golden Girls, I knew it was a wrap.

I remember Beano Cook saying the #1 thing on his bucket list was a night game in Tiger Stadium. It's hard to believe he worked for ESPN doing spots for them for so long and had only seen it on TV.

Tiger Stadium is nothing special when LSU plays a cupcake or just a decent team these days. But when LSU is the underdog or is playing one of the big boys at night, it is awesome when it's a good game. It used to be better, but there are still those nights at times where it's awesome. 2012 against Bama was incredible even though LSU lost. I remember hearing the comedian Bill Burr say he made that trip to see the game and he said it blew away anything he had ever been to. He said he got so drunk and into the game that he started yelling stuff at the Bama fans like he was a local.
