Official account of the Football Factory at Legends. Located at 6 W 33rd Street, across from the Empire State Building

You have Jeaux and Ohio.

Cole and Cali and Massachusetts.

And this is in NY across from the Empires State Building.

Best place to watch #LSU outside Death Valley. Except Jordan Hare Stadium last week, I suppose.

It's not like that's some random bar.

Anywhere you get a majority of LSU fans together to watch a football game its going to be wild. I've been to Legends and it's a lot of fun. I'm glad it's the LSU bar of Manhattan.


ETA: In case Tiger Ree wasn't aware, that is THE LSU bar of NYC. They have LSU flags and pictures of Tiger Stadium and the alma mater and shite all over the place. The owner is from Louisiana and sent kids to LSU.

The natty goes through the Valley. And O is gaining popularity .. Cole Tracy and Burrow’s story, Fulton’s fight through adversity. This team has a lot of great story lines. America loves an underdog.

I went regularly to Legends for a few years...if there's any one thing I miss about living up in that part of the country, it's the ability to drive over and watch LSU football in the fall...

That video was TAME compared to the 2011 Alabama game...

Half of it is true...one of the owners "N..." sent his daughter to LSU...

You know what now that I think harder on it he may actually be from New York based on what I know about his daughter. I'm not sure how ownership has changed about the place but when I was there in 2016 the owner definitely had a daughter at LSU . I know this because we were there in the spring for a school trip and I was telling our server how we actually went to LSU and when she told me the name of the owners daughter I couldn't believe it was someone I knew at the school. I just hadn't put it together before that the bar her dad owned in New York was Legends.

The more they are belittled and called second class, the stronger this becomes, as long as they win

ESPN had a segment from Gameday New York last year
All the big schools have their own bars for gamedays
I think Rinaldi did a tour of a few

not the first time...there is a map somewhere showing where all the Power 5 schools have a bar in Manhattan...

the Kentucky and Iowa State bars are just up the block from Legends (going toward Broadway on 33d)...

I'd say we are becoming a fav of many outside the region.

Anyone got a similar game reaction from Baseball Tavern in Boston? Another fabulous place to watch the Tigers.

Ree is fully aware. This is all part of the shtick.
