re: Old dorms inside of Tiger Stadium

I lived in North Stadium in the middle 60's... quite an experience, and much different from what the present day students experience living on campus!

There was a thread from several years ago, maybe a decade ago , where posters shared experiences. I think discussion turned more to the entire campus. Lots of old stories about the abandoned Huey Long Fieldhouse and pool and courts underneath, the old Gym Armory, Kirby Smith, etc. Some great stories about sneaking around, including some ambitious guys that explored the tunnels under the campus.

I want to say that there were entry portals where those checkered gates are now, like near the visiting team entrance. It looks like you go up some stairs and could enter an indoor corridor on either side to access the hallways.

I also lived in south stadium 1 year. Fall 73 to spring of 74. My 2 person room was directly over the visiting locker room. All rooms under the stadium faced outward. The halls had windows facing in under the stadium seats. Some of the rooms in north & east stadium were 6-8 person rooms.

South stadium was a male only dorm (same as Hatcher, Hodges, Johnson).. None of these dorms had private bathrooms. Big hall bath rooms with 2 showers with about 8 separate nozzles. You get used to the heat. Everybody brought big fans.
