re: What era was peak Tiger Stadium?

A day game vs Ohio St in 1987 they couldn’t snap the ball because of noise!

I remember this! Done forget, the stadium was a heck of a lot smaller, too!

the 80's. To see the tigers you pretty much had to go to every game. Fans were loud AF and only 80,000. The 80's, not sure about prior years, definitely had a lot to do with the mystique of TS.

Billy Canon played football at LSU almost 70 years ago. Anybody who claims Tiger Stadium was at its peak 70 years ago is old and senile.

Anyone who dismisses the atmosphere from 70 years ago should be spanked and put back in their cradle without a bottle.

You incapable of understanding the crowd's enthusiasm of that era. Much of the enthusiasm in the modern era is for the 'tailgate' experience, not the 'football' experience ===> imho.

The bama game in 2012 was insane until we lost at the end
But as far as constant noise and passion, that game might top the list. Most people don’t put it at the top due to the loss but I’ve been to every home game for a long time now and thats right up there with any of them

‘83 Washington was pretty loud as well

68,500?

I can just tell you the loudest game in my lifetime attending LSU games was USC 1979 and it's not really close.

As far as era's I'd say '95-2000 even though there were no championships I remember more epic noise games in that period - bring back the Magic in 95, Florida '97, the Tennessee, Alabama and State games in 2000 were some of the loudest within a 5 year period I remember.
