DEATH VALLEY GOT THE NUMBERS, NOT THE NOISE!

Death Valley, with it's 102,321 seat capacity, is the fifth-largest college football stadium in the country. Some say, on any home game Saturday night, it gets filled with the loudest and most hostile fans in any American sport. I think that reputation is fading. It seems as though the days of intimidation from the fans in the seats have slipped by, but it's not too late to revive that once worthy shining review.
Granted, the night games have always been special to fans and players alike, but good teams and good fans adopt to scenarios presented. We've got the numbers..so let's bring the noise! Let's make it hard for the opposing team to hear their quarterback's cadence, and fill their world with chaos. It's not just up to the student section...it's on every Tiger fan in the place. Raise the energy level with your voices!
If drinking all day is gonna alter your enthusiasm and have you lagging a bit, don't drink so much! Let's show the nation that we can bring the noise to support our boys in purple and gold!

This should go well.

The game itself drives fan enthusiasm throughout. It ALWAYS has. The crowd will be fired up and loud to start the game tomorrow. It will stay that way throughout if the game is close. However, if either team jumps out to a big lead the crowd won't be as into the game.
The 2022 Alabama and 2024 Ole Miss games were great atmospheres because the game dictated it. The 2024 Alabama was not (after the 1st quarter) because the game dictated it. The Clemson game this year was a great atmosphere in the first half because the game dictated such. Fans weren't as into, and many left, in the second half because LSU was in total control.
Drinking, kickoff time, and message board challenges don't drive the crowd enthusiasm. The game does

I love your enthusiasm and your support for LSU.
Dont like your take because it's not true.... When we have a decent game in that stadium, it's the loudest place and most hostile place in college football.

I guess you haven't heard the DJ Speakers from inside the stadium

It’s hard to get crowd noise over crappy piped in rap music.

The nightime air does make the sound coming from the stands louder at field level. So the night games DO help with the homefield advantage.

Mehhhh. It’s been a big game only stadium for awhile. When there’s a big game though, there’s literally nothing like it. To try and say otherwise is intentionally misleading @ best & more along the lines of dishonest.

Oh, this fresh take again.

I no longer drink because I’m not disciplined enough to know my limits, but to all of you who do drink and are going to the game, FUEL UP!! This game is gonna be EPIC and we need you LOUD! Drink whatever it takes but don’t pass out before halftime, lol. Go Tigahs!

The only place you ever hear this is on the rant. Probably from people who don't even attend the game. A big time LSU home game is loud, and people stay......always.

Some of the best/loudest games I've ever attended were 2:30 games. Another myth, that you only will hear from this board.

“Piped in” — can we eliminate this term of the Curley Hallman era? Why don’t we all just have some Golden Flake potato chips, play some VCR College Bowl, and enjoy a Diet Rite and talk about “piped in” music.

It's always been a "big game only" stadium. The only difference is what constitutes a "big game" has changed a lot since 2000.
In 2000 LSU played No. 13 Miss. St. The crowd was great and the game was great. So much so that fans rushed the field after LSU won. This year LSU played No. 16 Miss. St and no one really cared. Partly that is because KO was at 11:00, but it would not have been all that more raucous at 6:00 pm because LSU fans would not have looked at it as a "big game".
In 1993 5-5 LSU played 6-4-1 Arkansas with a potential Carquest Bowl birth on the line. There was more energy an excitement in the stands for that game than there has been for much better SEC matchups in TS over the last 25 years. That because in 1993 that was a "big game", whereas if LSU and Arkansas teams with those same records played today none of the fans would care.
Tiger Stadium has never been some intimidating, raucous atmosphere for games against teams with bad records or unappealing matchups.
