Since 1958. Duke vs. LSU was my first one. We had three tickets for a family of four, but my dad grabbed me up and rushed me in. I was a gate crasher for my first game at four years old.

First game was Kentucky 1998. My uncle had become a season ticket holder a few years earlier and that 1997 UF game rejuvenated a lot of people. Tim Couch drove the Wildcats down the field to kick a game winning field goal. The next year we sat through a torrential downpour vs UF as Spurrier made up for the loss in 1997. They torched us and we sat through the whole thing in the pouring rain.

I live 800 miles away and aside from the last 2 seasons, have made at least 1 home game and normally 1 away game since 2003. Many great moments shared with my favorite people on Friday and Saturday nights in Baton Rouge. If you have the privilege of doing that every Saturday, enjoy it. Best place ever.

My first game was Rice, 1973. LSU won 24-9. I made my Dad stay till the last play, which he did not like to do (he liked to try to get a jump on traffic) but he was happy to see I inherited his passion.

First game was the ‘01 auburn game in which they stopped on the eye before the game. That was also the game in which their kicker tried to fight our band at halftime. Good times. I’ve been to at least 1 home game every year since. Most years I’ve made it to almost all of them. But this year, because of a job change I might not be able to make it down for a game.

First Game: 1982 Oregon St when I was 12
First Season attending all games/having season tickets: 2001

Basically, my owning season tickets is the ultimate reason for the Golden Age of LSU Football. You're welcome, everyone!

First game was in 97 after we knocked off Florida we went to the Ole Miss game a week later and they beat us. Go figure. I dont remember this game though.

First game I remember was the 2000 OT game against Tennessee. We won in OT and the fans stormed the field. I cried bc my dad wouldn't let me storm the field too. I was only 6 years old.
Been a die-hard ever since.

Student section from 2009-2012. I was in middle school for the 03 championship and High School for the 07 one. 2011 was supposed to be the year I got to see us win one as a student, and it all fell apart 


I was in college from 91-95. Count yourself lucky. I was a student when we won 2 games. In 95, I was so excited over a winning season that I camped out for tickets for the Independence bowl. Let that sink in. The Independence Bowl.

1973 as a wee lad was my first game. Thanks Dad.I Started LSU in 1984 and graduated in 1989. So Almost every game between 1973-1991. Then I moved away and for most of those years had CU Buffs tickets or went to sumo. Then basically every game between 2001- 2018.

First game I ever saw at Tiger Stadium was Vanderbilt-LSU in 1976.

Was a student from 1980-1984, so student section 80-83. Saw Notre Dame in '84 and Alabama in '85 at Tiger Stadium (plus bowls and road games.) Started getting season tickets in 1986 and have had them ever since.

1967 LSU at Tennessee. Sammy Grezaffi returned a kickoff 100 yards, a record that stood till Eric Martin broke it.
