I was at the game with my youngest son next to me and my two other sons at the game after riding a tour bus called the Lavalais Express. Thinking about my Dad who died decades earlier with the expression, "'08, '58 and next year!"

Getting escorted out of the superdome and heading to the snoop dog concert

I was a junior at LSU and my roommate and another friend got student tickets through the lottery. I thought I was going to miss out. But, on Christmas Day my cousin and uncle surprised me with a ticket. I sat with my uncle in the OU section (plaza level end zone). Spears’ pick 6 came right at me when he scored. I have a panoramic of the dome that night up in my home office. You can see me in my bright yellow vintage early 70’s LSU jacket (Mike climbing out of TS logo) that my future father in law gave me in the midst of the OU red.
What a weekend and what a night. I was there last January and that was maybe the greatest weekend of my life but 03 will always hold a special place.

Watching the game on a 19 inch tube tv at Fort Polk three weeks out for Iraq. I would do it again if it gave LSU another championship. GEAUX TIGERS! This post was edited on 1/5/21 at 12:12 am

I was at the game and rather drunk towards the end. I never thought we would lose with that defense that night. IT WAS GLORIOUS!

The last game my father ever got to see in person. 15 year old me will never forget that night in the Dome. Amazing experience.

In the Dome baby!! Never been in a more intense environment for a football game, the place was electric. Was working in Lake Charles at the time and a couple weeks after the game Saban and JV came in to visit Ryan Miller I believe. The guy who came with me to the game was coaching at Barbe and told me about it so I sped over there and got our tickets autographed by both JV and coach Saban. The whole thing is still surreal thinking back on it.

I remember hearing about that
It was an experience. Had just met the guy through his wife, the (incoming) Senator. Actually felt bad for him...and considered letting him use my ticket....until I thought to myself "He's a doctor, and his wife is a State Senator...let them handle it."

I was lucky enough to be in the city that entire weekend with my Dad. Posted this in another thread but we happened to play on the Sunday of Wild Card Weekend in the NFL. Watched Hasselbeck say "We want the ball and we're gonna score" outside of the sports bar in the Hyatt right before we walked into the Dome.
We had just walked out of the bar they used to have ("Hightops" maybe??). I was 13 years old and my dad and his friend snuck me in by distracting a bouncer. ESPN's Ron Franklin was doing a pregame show in the main room and they had a DJ in the back. Many asses bouncing when Pour Some Sugar on Me came on and the DJ started throwing LSU lyrics into the song. I don't remember what I ate for lunch 2 days ago but I can replay that weekend in vivid detail.

Bought a single ticket for $500. Nervous as hell not knowing who I would be sitting next to. Got to the bottom of the section I was going to be in and looked up, OU fans to the right, LSU fans to the left. Luckily was on LSU side, sitting next to a smoke show. Great time!!

In the Dome with my seven year old grandson who had already become a fanatical Tiger fan. During the 2003 season I brought him with me to most of the home games in Tiger stadium. It was so much fun to see a true Tiger fan being born over the course of the season. He is now an LSU grad and a lifelong Tiger fanatic. He was fortunate to be in the dome again to see JB and the Tigers cap off the greatest season ever. An interesting side note: We were in Baton Rouge at my daughter’s house in 2006 watching the televised CWS Final. Just minutes before Warren Morris came up to the plate to make another “great moment in LSU athletics history” my daughter placed this same kid in my lap to hold. Who knows, maybe some kind of cosmic LSU brain waves from all of us wildly celebrating Morris’ walk off home run were somehow burned into his six month old brain. He’s also very lucky that I was able to keep my composure and didn’t drop him on the floor.

Terrace level. Row 10. 40 yard line.
What i still remember is thinking that "we got this" and tearing up when Skyler took the reverse to the house. Never thought I'd live to see it.
PS - I was obnoxious to the Sooner fans around us.

I was on the first row of the terrace level about the 30 yard line. It was surprisingly emotional. I was with the 3 friends whom I had traveled to every home and road game for the prior 12-13 years . We saw some really bad LSU teams get their arse kicked in every stadium in the conference practically. It was surreal to see us reach the pinnacle.

It did suck that we were on top of the Oklahoma band and had to hear Boomer Sooner played 5277343434373 times.
