App state was the hottest. Tenn game was smoking but the second half cooled down a tad. The app state game got hotter as the game pregressed.

The App St game was as brutal as I can remember. Medical staff was working over time pulling people out of the stands. One dude we sold a ticket to could only last the first quarter and i thought for sure we'd have to call 911 for him.

Good god it was miserable. 11:30 kick i think.


LSU played MSU in Saban's 1st year (2000) and I'm pretty sure it was a night game that went to OT. 01 was in Starkvegas.

Yeah, remember that one too (Western Carolina 2000); was Lil Nicky's debut! They asked everyone going to wear just white lite clothing fearing outbreak of heat fatigue!

This was BY FAR the hottest game I ever been too in Tiger Stadium. I remember them carrying people out on stretchers. Concession stands ran out of ice. Everyone had to sit on a program or drink holder from the concession stand because the metal bleachers were scorching hot.

Absolutely. This game was also a week and a half after Hurricane Andrew. I dont think power had been fully restored in BR. May be a bit biased because it was my first game in TS.

App State 2008 was by far the hottest game I've ever been to. It was like hell had exhaust vents into Tiger Stadium...

Western Carolina.

Road game was definitely the A&M game in Dinardo's first year.
