re: The Death of Tiger Stadium

Aside from being called middle-aged (according to the bio, I was born the same year as the original poster) I agree with you. This is a ridiculous notion.
I attended my first LSU game in TS in 1986 as a sophomore in high school. I was a freshman at LSU in 1988, graduated in 1992 and attended every home game in the student section during that time. I am currently a season ticket holder in the South End Zone, have been for many years. I’ve been there for every big game in the last 20 years, we all know which ones they were. I do what I have to do to afford my tickets, so I don’t want to hear about somebody from out of state who watches the game on TV tell me about how Tiger Stadium is dead and I sure as hell don’t want to hear about how it’s dead from somebody who was an embryo when I got to school there. You want to know dead?? You should have been at a game when we were going 3-8 under Hallman.
I get so tired of people bitching about what they think has become of TS when they don’t know anything about it. If you want to make a difference, buy tickets and go to a game. Don’t tell us what looks bad on TV or bitch about all those rich folks who just sit on their hands. The only way to change it is to get to the Stadium and do something about it.
The atmosphere and intensity is as electric today as it was 20 years ago when a big game comes along and the crowd is pumped. I suspect this Saturday will be one of the all time best at kick off, and I’ll be there, will you?

Great post PT. I too hated to see all those folks leave and the booing of Jarrett. Definitely low class. I did bring six first-timers with me and they all had a great time and will be going back to the Troy game along with six more. I know they aren't a bigtime powerhouse, but I hope folks are more vocal and stay to watch the game. The real tiger stadium experience is something to marvel at.

Do you think he should get some of the revisionist history lessons contained in this thread, or would you prefer it be something a bit more genuine?

I love it when the "class war" comes up. The "true fans" can't afford tickets and the rich people somehow have the inability to cheer simply because they are rich.
It's like your yearly salary affects how good of a fan you are.

i have been to every game i can make since 1999, especially the big ones. i can honestly say that there isn't much to get rowdy for this year compared to the thrilling games last year. i expect a much different stadium when alabama comes in.
