My first Tiger Stadium experience.
LSU vs Tulane, 1980. Sat in the South EZ. My friend's Dad took us. First time in Tiger Stadium. Ironically, I don't really remember the game itself (except that we won). I was too busy absorbing... EVERYTHING! The band, the Golden Girls, the coeds, the crowd... just a memory I will never forget.

attending my first LSU games as a 6-year-old and watching this guy play (pic below). Will never forget Saturday pre-game traditions of parking near the bowling alley, walking amongst the century old live oaks, eating lunch inside the Union cafeteria, and watching other CFB games on the big screen tv inside the ballroom. LSU on game day is just special for a young kid

Listening to ‘97 LSU vs Houston on the radio. Tigers down 20 in the 4th. Faulk goes off for 246 and I think a punt return in that game to win 35-34.
Then watched highlights on ESPN after. If I recall, they kept breaking in during live coverage of whatever game was showing on ESPN that night showing the Tigers roar back.
I’d been a fan as a kid but I think that game was the tipping point for me emotionally. A loss to Houston there may have numbed me not to care so much anymore. The comeback win however solidified my core commitment to Tiger football. What a ride it’s been

86 1st game as student vs aTm. Jet flyover, blast in stands and North Endzone Nut had me hooked.
Anyone know where the North Endzone Nut is today?

Went with my dad to LSU vs USC in 1979. I was hooked. Spent a few of my formative years as and usher with the Boy Scouts when Dalton Hilliard was thrilling Tiger Fans.

Nov 10, 1979. I was a casual LSU fan until #1 Bama came to Tiger Stadium and barely escaped with a 3-0 victory. I've been a diehard Tiger fan since.

Dad took me to see Shaq play in the PMAC when I was a kid. First live sporting event I’d ever been to. Packed house. Still have a pic he took of Shaq hanging on the rim. Been hooked on all things LSU since. Many other great nights in tiger stadium after that. And I’ll always remember the old box chanting in unison, “Eddie, Eddie,...when Furniss went to bat. Great memories.

Lol I got earlier memories bro. My earliest memory was losing to Nebraska in the Orange Bowl early 1980's with Jerry Stovall as our coach and Alan Risher as our qb with Turner Gil as the opposing Qb. Damn you Nebraska. Nebraska used to be revelant for you youngens out there.

Mine was Rohan’s start against Arkansas in 99. Last game of the season & first conference win — we won 3 games total that year lol... but there was something special about that one. Dinardo was out & many regarded the program a sleeping giant. We were thirsty for something positive after losing every game since week 2. The razorbacks were seeking their 9th win + Davey flashed brilliance in his first start for a 2-win team under an interim coach... three years later, we’d be national champs.
Forgot to mention baseball (I didn’t get into all the sports at once). — my dad hit his head on the ceiling fan after Warren Morris’ walk off while I was playing in the curtains
I got real curious after that scene + Skip’s run was a lott of fun, even towards the end.

My father played on the 58 team and every birthday from 1 year old on I got LSU stuff so had no choice. Then started going to games making the then 4 hour trip from Shreveport to Tiger stadium at a young age. So was born to be a Tiger fan.

2000 Tennessee at LSU upset. Was actually my first game that I ever went to. Stormed he field afterwards. Ever since then, I’ve been hooked. Wasn’t that the game that really signaled the turnaround for LSU football?
I didn’t get knee deep into it until I was a little older than most of you. Teaching my son a little sooner than my dad did.

Lsu vs Florida 97 I was 10 years old my dad went to game and left me at a local friends apartment on campus to watch the game bc I wanted to be as close to stadium as I could lol. I had a blast with his friends I consider all of them family and still call his best friend uncle but that day and whole season BBQ and hanging out on campus when I had a chance was amazing. I will always miss those days.
He brought me to the notre dame game and we lost lol should have left me home both times I guess.
I just looked at map seems they tore down the old dorms down street from chimes. Looks much more congested then it used to from a overhead map. Hope they still allow all the students to grill outside there dorms on bottom floor.. that landscape looks like there is no room... I hope they aren't bbq pit nazis but from that map I believe they are. Shame that used to be pretty fun.

Mine is the 1991 game against Florida State in Tiger Stadium. My older brother was in grad school at LSU and he brought me with him in the student section. It was the best thing I had ever experienced in my young 12 year old life. I fell in love with all things LSU football that night.

Late 1960s. On Saturday nights in the fall my Dad would go out to the driveway and sit in his old pickup to listen to John Ferguson, the voice of the Tigers on KWKH radio. He let me sit out there in the dark with him. He muttered a lot under his breath. Good times.

1968 Sugar Bowl vs Wyoming. Drove with my father and uncle from SF Bay Area the day after Christmas to New Orleans to go to the Sugar Bowl. My mom and her family lived in New Orleans for 7 years after they arrived in the USA from Naples, so my uncle thought the trip would be a great way for me to see where they lived.
I was 11 and all I really remember about the game, was that the day was cold and rainy, but I became an LSU fan that day. Despite always/still living in the Bay Area I've attended 46 LSU games.
