Is Tiger Stadium the only stadium with 5 yard number increments in CFB?

Every other CFB stadium seems to be numbered in 10 yard increments:

I don’t know. It’s an interesting observation that I’ve never even thought about.

it's probably my favorite thing about our field

I read somewhere that in the early days of football, the rule was three downs to get five yards, so the fields were marked in five-yard increments. When the rule changed to four downs to get ten yards, everybody else went to ten yard markers. LSU stayed with five.
I can't find the article to corroborate, so I could be lying.
Edit: The rule changed in 1912, so that part is true.

Coincidentally Florida State is one of the others.
