Went to game there during Miles era when we pretty good
All the pre game stuff OUTSIDE stadium was cool
More formal than I like,but still OK

But I don’t remember the stadium being all that intimidating to play at.
Been to many away games & it definitely behind BryDenny, Swamp & Neyland.
Never been to Athens UT or Oklahoma
Has it changed

It’s smaller, but their team has been better recently so you can expect the crowd to be louder

It is harder because the Ole Miss team is better just like Tiger Stadium is hardware for teams to play on than the Curley Hallmann era

I mean LSU went there last year with a much worse team and lost by 5 I believe.

Its going to be rowdy but its not a big stadium so its relatively harder because of their QB and offense but not because of the fans. Miss St. is a much more annoying stadium to play.

Yes, and we have our own coach to thank for that .

It'll die down within another year or two though.

absolutely....LSU prolly cant win

when you play at "THE VAUGHT" you are in prolly the hardest road game environment in the country

we, as LSU fans, need to recognize there are levels to this shite and we arent on the same level as there stadium, especially when they have had all day to tailgate in the grove which is by far greatest environment for tailgating in the country


there are just levels to this shite and us as LSU fans have no clue wtf a real playoff team looks like in this era.

ole miss cant lose, prolly beat us by 40

When we lose there it’s usually because of some dumb shite


“Clock it”

Mett chucking wounded Saline Bayou gadwalls to OBJ in 2013

The end of the Les era running i-form vs Freeze’s HUNH

The entirety of Ole Miss and their fans have severely chapped asses over Kiffin leaving and taking personnel with him. No telling what's going to break out.

Was seated next to the Ole Miss student section the last time LSU played at Ole Miss, the Ole Miss students are some mouthy little frickers.

It is not.They also do not really rally their teams. If you can up get 10 on them, the life will come out of that crowd.

it's had its moments to be loud, but usually just at the start of the game

The product they have put on the field is just much better. The stadium is not that intimidating, but they have had a string of good coaches and good players.

Don’t kid yourself. It is a more confined space and can get loud enough in there to mess with communications.

Rebs are 6-3 against the Tigers in Oxford since 2009. LSU has been one of the winningest programs in the country during that span.

Size does not always matter with a stadium. It will be loud and intimidating. Hopefully the refs call a clean game

Its not going to be loud. Bama, Georiga, Tennesee, AM, UT, Auburn, Florida, are all significantly harder places to go and win.
