re: When did LSU start calling "Deaf Valley"...

I went to LSU in 1970. There was no Deaf Valley then. There was no Shell station @ Highland and State then. Tiger Stadium had been known as Death Valley for years by that time.
Dale Brown started calling the Assembly Center Deaf Dome after his teams began to draw large and very loud crowds mid 70s to 80s. Somebody picked up on that and started referring to Tiger Stadium as Deaf Valley.
I don’t know how long Clemson has called its stadium Death Valley. LSU’s Tiger Stadium has been called that for at least 50 years, but I don’t know if that was something LSU used officially or if the sobriquet was something used only by the media and fans.
