re: Those who attended the game

Their tailgating scene is awful. It's all corporate, almost nobody cooking anything.

As for the in-game experience in comparison to TS... TS is way louder. It got loud inside BDS, but Tiger Stadium creates that ear ringing noise that I really have only gotten at Jordan-Hare and TS. However , they do an awesome job creating a cool atmosphere. The lights, the music, the screens, all 100x better than what LSU has. The commercial breaks weren't terrible, they don't feel the need to honor every former athlete that came through, like LSU does. The lights and the music make it feel like a smooth transition of energy back to the game.. It's tough because on one hand, the energy in Tiger Stadium is all organic. It's not manufactured like it is at Bama, and I would love to keep that. At the same time though, it undoubtedly creates a better atmosphere. We could do everything they do, and just make it better with our raw energy.

Light show was cool. Not sure why we can’t do something like that. Got really loud when they did dixieland delight. Outside of that, wasn’t all that loud. Not really a fan of the piped in music. Rather hear the band play. Seats much more spacious than Tiger Stadium.

Sorority houses that are literally steps away from the stadium are incredible

You don't think that LSU fans would've stayed until the end to witness a Bama beatdown in Tiger Stadium?

Nowhere near as loud as I expected, not as electric as Death Valley. I felt the same way after going to Kyle Field last year. We as LSU fans are lucky to have the best stadium and atmosphere

The general consensus here is correct. The crowd isn’t nearly as loud as the crowd in Tiger Stadium. LSU was playing on offense with minimal crowd noise in the second quarter and early 3rd when the game was still on the line. The overall niceness of the stadium, sound and lights is great if you want that and not if you don’t. I think most people would find it pretty cool. Can have that debate with the different generations later. I’m only 32 and my football memory begins with Kevin Faulk but I still prefer the old school coliseum feel of Death Valley and wish we had more band and less piped in music but do think there is room for improvement in Death Valley in those regards. BDS concessions were out of most food except hot dogs at the end of the 1st quarter with long lines to get them. The campus is pretty nice. Traffic leaving the game was terrible, I did ok getting off campus over the course of an hour and a half while my father in law sat in a parking lot for an hour and half before even starting to move.

I live around here. The fan base is extremely entitled. After one loss and a rough showing against USF I heard people asking whether they should even go to the Ole Miss game. A lot of front runners mixed in with the die hards. Hoping I get to see them in a post Saban world soon.

Big picture, the experience and atmosphere watching Taylor stretch across the pylon last year in Tiger Stadium from beginning to end kills whatever advantage BDS has in lights and sound in my opinion and it’s not like they really have their overall game day experience at a different level from what I could see (and I despise Aramark and the current parking and traffic situation at LSU).

Saban ripped their asses for leaving early before the Tennessee game. It worked, We got spoiled. We have a heisman trophy QB and it's empty before 3rd quarter. It's only 6 games a year but hey...

I didn’t like how they dimmed the lights and had piped in music playing while we were coming back from tv timeouts, but the stadium is nice and it was a great experience.

My first time there and it was a sight. Of course the arrogance of their fan base was obvious, but it is well deserved. They know how to create a very organized and intimidating atmosphere. I was close to our band, but of course they were drowned out by the piped music on cue. Had all variations of fans around me. Most were very nice but a few cursed and flipped off our team and band throughout the game. I gave my share of the same while we were up, and especially when they took out Daniels.
The worst were the students, especially after the game, but that's expected from immaturity.

If we had a competent coaching staff we would've won the game and it would have been completely different post game. Oh well . . . the hot women were off the chart.

I enjoyed my TTown experience. I thought the tailgating was less than LSU's experience. The fans were very nice to me. I enjoyed the stadium. Concessions were outstanding and fast. The traffic situation postgame was insanely good. I am so used to awful that it felt like I was leaving a HS game. I thought the crowd atmosphere was very generic...it didn't have a big game feel as I feel in Tiger Stadium.
