re: Worst weather you've experienced at an LSU game?

2003 ULM was pretty bad if I remember correctly

Pretty sure that was an actual tropical event making landfall. I was on the first row of the student section and the water was about a foot deep. They asked the fans to shelter in the portals, but there was not enough room, so we just stayed in our seats and tried not to get swept away.

ETA - It was outer bands from Tropical Storm Grace.

Tennessee 2017. During halftime and the start of the second half, it felt like we were in the middle of a tropical storm. UT even lost the ball on the kickoff because it was raining so hard.

Yep, was there and can concur.

Heat

2005 Tennessee
1999 Auburn odd 4pm kick off, The cigar game.
early 90's season opener Against Texas A&M. 1pm kickoff in Tiger Stadium in early September is a bad idea. Acadian was helping ppl in the Stadium with heat issues.

Cold

1995 night home game against Ole Miss. Temp was in the mid 30's with a strong north wind. My Dad and me were sitting in the middle of the south upper.

early 90's home game cold as hell afternoon game against Alabama.

Rain

1996 Mississippi State, Anyone that was there will understand. The second qtr rain was biblical.

1988-Miami. Stayed the entire game under plastic. Despite the rumors, it actually rained that night.

That was the homecoming game I believe. Lots of pretty girls in pretty dresses soaked.

that oregon state game in 2004 always stood out in my mind. it pissed for a while

This is accurate. It wasn't just rain falling, it was so heavy that it was like somebody was dumping a bucket on you after being in it for a minute. And this was right when they instituted the lightning proximity delays, so the team came out to warm up and this was the first game after the 2003 Title game, so the stadium was fricking packed. They call a lightning delay and it starts raining, all around the same time. So you have a full Tiger Stadium with rain coming down like that, and there's nowhere to go because everybody is trying to haul arse under the stadium and it's just a solid mass of people at that point. That sucked.

The only good thing about it, was wet t shirt contest.

Was in TGBFTL for the away game in Birmingham (Bama) in the mid-80s. We were under a Tornado Watch and the sky got really bad right before halftime. Frank Wickes told us we were going to perform. Right before halftime we went under a tornado warning. He told us to march and play through anything unless we heard something that sounded like a freight train and then just run off the field.

It poured rain and hailed in us during halftime but we did the entire show. Pretty freaking crazy.

Exactly the game I was thinking of when I saw thread title. I remember we spent half the game in the concourse

Oregon State. Standing at top of south endzone (before upper deck), just looking around. Lightning hit not 200 yards away. Got down below pretty quickly

2001 vs Florida (Got killed by Spurrier and I was a miserable 10 year with water up to my knees bc it was so flooded)

i don't remember it raining for this game, it was a little chilly, but no rain.
