A couple of years ago my sister and niece were in town and we walked around campus. One of the gates was open so we walked in the southwest gate and were looking at the field from BEHIND the fence. All of a sudden some guy starts yelling at us to get out immediately. We complied but while we were out by the tiger statue in from of the stadium we see he has taken the elevator down and is just staring at us from the gate.
It was a weird situation. It was probably one of the reasons she decided to attend Texas A&M.

It's a trap! But seriously, I know the guys who got arrested a couple months ago for being in the stadium and they said the open window they climbed through had like a 10 foot fall on the other side but luckily there was a ladder right up against this random window for them to climb down. I'm not saying it was placed there intentionally but aliens.

Technically, it is not open....however, there is usually a gate open with some maintenance folks inside working. I have walked in and had a look around a couple of times. I got some pretty concerned looks, but they never said anything. One thing that I would suggest is that you not even give the impression that you are attempting to go near the turf.
Walk in briefly, admire the place for a minute and walk out....no wandering around at all.

For years I'd visit before game day - usually late afternoon. Don't know about now but Gate 10, where I enter for games, was always open and seemed to be a busy place for workers. I just eased in, smiled and waved, and kept going. I may have been the first know the goalposts were greased for the Alabama game after they came down after Tennessee that year. I like to call it KY jelly since we did screw 'Bama for the first time in a long time in Tiger Stadium. Those clowns still got up there but couldn't bring them down. Today, we EXPECT great success. Those days were the revival of Tiger Football and were a lot of fun.

Around 2005, my cousin was deciding on what college to attend, so we convinced her to tour the LSU campus.
When we were walking by Tiger Stadium, we noticed the gate was open so we went inside. There were a few people doing "stadiums" in the stands so we thought it was OK to be in there. We eventually got onto the field and ran around for a little bit then left. Nobody told us anything. But looking back on it, I'm pretty sure we just got lucky during that 5ish minute stretch while we were on the field. /csb
My advice: I don't know if I would risk it after hearing about the guys being arrested.

Not usually open but there are lots of ways to schedule to see when you're there. LINK

Every time I go to campus during the off season I stop by the Athletic Office and get permission. Never been told no and given permission to enter the stadium. Thinks may have changed since then.

You can arrange a tour if you call ahead to athletic office. Not sure if they do individual or not but definitely group tours.

What is all this Nazi bs? In '94 plenty of people were there to run the steps for exercise and it was never an issue.

One of my favorite memories from growing up was during Skip's last home series as baseball coach. My dad was walking around campus with my sisters, my best friend and me when we saw an open gate to Tiger Stadium. We went in and played catch on the field, acted like we were catching touchdowns, pretended to tear the goalposts down. One of those little things I'll never forget.

During the nineties, they always seemed to have a gate open during the day and people were usually in their running stadiums or walking around.. never saw anybody on the field but we did sneak in a few time st night and wandered around.. they would chain lock the fences but never pull them tight..

The concession offices used to be in the old dorms, not sure if they still are. I would walk in all the time, I had a reason to though.
