re: what was your first experience at tiger stadium?

I was a boy scout usher over the visiting team seating. We rained peanut shells over the tam fans.

that was his job when i ended.

WASHINGTON HUSKIES
1983

Mid to late 60’s…as a Boy Scout usher. Walked mostly men to their seats, often carrying their flasks/bottles for them which usually earned a $1 tip!

November 22, 1986 (8)LSU-21 vs. Notre Dame-19. I remember this game because everyone in the stands kept screaming about how we whipped Notre Dame in South Bend the previous year and we were going to do it again. I sat in the west in section 101 right down the 15 yard line. I don't remember much about the game, but I do remember getting picked up and put on my dad's shoulders (I was 6) and the guy behind us getting mad.

1949 - My brother was a student there - family went to see LSU football game.

Opp was North Carolina - and they had an All-American back, Charlie "Choo-Choo" Justice - never forgot that name. Don't recall any LSU player names, but we did win the game.

The entire experience was unreal = when I first saw the stadium, I thought it was a building and they played the game on top of it - I was wondering what they'd do if the ball, or someone, fell off the building. (I was 10 yrs old - had only been to a football game in Leesville at "Giberts Field" which was nothing but a set of wooden bleachers on the side of a flat piece of ground.)

Also saw original Mike the Tiger. I was with my brother and his friend when we passed by Mike's cage. (pretty simple little building & small cage in that era) - they had just washed out the cage and a green slime was across the sidewalk. My brother and friend easily jumped over it, but I didn't quite make it - fell on my backside in the middle of it - got Tiger shite all over my pants. Parents had to buy me a new pair of pants .

I was a freshman at LSU in '56 when Mike died - got to see the first replacement. I've seen them all.

Lived in that stadium for my first 2 semesters - great memories.

1979. USC. One of the greatest games in history of Tiger Stadium even though we "lost". The day I became a die hard LSU fan.

Don't remember the year - it was some time in the mid 80s - and I don't remember who we played. I just remember it was homecoming and the band played Johnny's Mambo from Dirty Dancing as the field show.

I think it was Ole Miss the 89 season fully decked out in my Hutch lsu uniform and helmet at 4 years old. We stayed at some hotel with a fountain out front that I fell into. I remember students were living in dorms in the stadium it seemed like and all these random strangers were teaching me cuss words.

That was in 1970. I wonder if the field was messed up for the next home fame? Billy Graham in BR
