GO TIGERS!!!!
(LSU Tigers that is)
Some quotes I’ve seen about LSU (& they are all so true):
Pros: This will be your ultimate football experience!
Cons: If you don't like noise, this is NOT the place for you!
Pros: LOUD, Beautiful, Tailgating, the Fans and did I mention LOUD!
Cons: Only if you're an opponent!
You are in awe. The atmosphere of the people - man, I had goose bumps. It was another level. It was more intense than down there in Florida"
-- Auburn defensive tackle Jimmy Brumbaugh
"It's like you are in a cup with everything on top of you. You can feel it rush through your body. And the fans are close enough to throw things at you, hit you in the head and spit at you"
-- Auburn fullback Fred Beasley
"It makes a body tingle. These folks go berserk when the band marches on the field. A huge roar is heard for the invocation, for heaven's sake. They not only know the words to the national anthem, they sing them, loudly."
-- Douglas Looney, Sports Illustrated describing a Saturday night in Death Valley.
"Baton Rouge happens to be the worst place in the world to be a visiting team."
-- The Late Paul "Bear" Bryant, head coach of Kentucky, Texas A&M and Alabama.
"I stood in Tiger Stadium and I thought, 'This is what the Colosseum in Rome must have been like."
-- Ed Simonini, Texas A&M linebacker.
"It was like the Colosseum in Rome and we were the Christians."
-- The late Bobby Dodd of Georgia Tech.
"Unbelievable, crazy. That place makes Notre Dame seem like Romper Room."
-- Brad Budde, USC lineman.
What else could you want from a college football venue? Food in the stadium is typical ballpark food...but OUTSIDE when tailgaiting is as good as any 5 star restaurant in New Orleans. The stadium itself resembles the Colosseum in Rome...and is gorgeous. And how many other teams can boast of rolling out an ACTUAL bengal tiger named Mike V into the stadium and then park him outside the opposition's locker room? Just LSU, that's how many! Do yourself a favor...make it to a game in Death Valley.
