Everything you read and hear about LSU night games at Death Valley is absolutely legit! The ULTIMATE college football experience and I’ve been to a bunch of top venues all over the country.
Outside the stadium is very well-done, between the national championship plaques, statues, and of course Mike the Tiger in his playpen.
Fans are the best I’ve been around in college football or any sport for that matter. I sat in the Tiger Terrace chair seats (500-level) and it’s a very intimate experience you share with a smaller group of fans and you “bond” with them as the game goes on for lack of a better term. Don’t think I’ve ever talked so much at a sporting event and the fan to my right even bought me a beer and asked for a pic together as the fans celebrated on the field after a clutch OT win over Ole Miss. We had a vocal Ole Miss fan in our section and the banter was always in good faith and friendly from the LSU fans and vice versa. It was a great time, I’d go to another game at LSU in a heartbeat.
My only complaint and I don’t know if this is an issue in the lower bowl or elsewhere, but concessions in the 500 and 600 levels are a disaster! About 40 minutes before the game I got in line to get a couple hot dogs and the stand I was at was already “out” of them and other things. I didn’t want a pretzel or nachos so I went to my seat hungry. During the game, I’m not even kidding the lines were so long you’d miss most of if not an entire quarter of the game standing in line. So I never got food, wasn’t worth it. I’ve been to other 100,000+ seat stadiums, some bigger than LSU and never ever had this issue getting food and drink. Do better LSU, MUCH better!
This is THE best college football experience there is, bar none. Do yourself a favor and go to a night game at Tiger Stadium, you won’t regret it. Just eat before the game lol. I’ll likely be back even though I live...
Read moreAs I embarked on my journey to LSU Stadium, nestled in the heart of a state charmingly shaped like nature’s own porcelain throne, I couldn’t help but marvel at the dedication of a fanbase in a land where the stadium stands as a beacon of unwavering excitement amidst the otherwise quiet landscape.
The stadium experience is nothing short of a roller coaster of consistency, each game a testament to the undying spirit of fans who have little else to distract them from the thrill of the game. It’s a place where the collective heartbeat of the state finds its rhythm, leading the nation not just in the big stats of illiterate adults, balanced diets, and average baths per year per capita, but in unparalleled passion for their team.
Upon arrival, I was greeted by the latest tech marvel: a partnership with Google Translate, specifically designed for the uninitiated to decipher the rich, syrupy accents of the local, often shirtless, swamp aficionados. A true testament to Southern hospitality!
The stadium’s color palette is truly a sight to behold, a kaleidoscope of hues that whisper, “We might not be your first choice, but we’ll definitely be your most memorable.” And how could I overlook the mascot? Ah, the tiger – a choice so unique, so unprecedented, it’s almost as if no other team could possibly have thought of it!
Now, let’s talk amenities. The restrooms are a tribute to the local cuisine, with artistic flair that vividly narrates the journey of every spice used in Louisiana’s famed dishes. A visit here is not just a call of nature; it’s an olfactory voyage through the bayou!
In conclusion, LSU Stadium isn’t just a venue; it’s a full-blown cultural escapade. From the linguistic ballet of the fans to the sensory overload of the facilities, it’s more than a game, it’s an experience that captures the essence of Louisiana in all its...
Read moreIt's apparently called Death Valley because the response of the stadium staff will end up getting you killed.
While at the LSU-Alabama game, an incident in our section occurred resulting with a fan being punched and subsequently knocked out, hitting his head, and seizing. The only way staff knew about it is because 911 was called by a fan. As other fans worked to secure and stabilize the injured fan, no staff was in sight. Once the medical "professionals" slowly meandered there way up to us, they improperly took care of the injured man. They had no concern for a head or neck injury only the large gash on his face, not even considering how he got it. He was sat up and then they walked him(he was stumbling and clearly was suffering from a head injury)over to a special chair so he could be brought down the stairs. Once sat in the chair they "secured" him. His head was flopping side to side as if his neck was a slinky and his hand was dragging and would have been crushed had another fan not come over and grabbed it. The two medical staff then brought him down the steps with the help of a fan because they were not prepared to do it themselves, all while the injured man began to throw up all over himself. Once on the ground the wheeled him off and then finally two sheriff's showed up. They asked a few questions and seemed ill equipped at handling the situation. The man who threw the punch was long gone at this point so who knows if he was apprehended.
I'm leaving this review on here in hopes that maybe this will bring about some change to how they address these incidents. I do not know what happened to the injured man but in a situation where response time and proper handling of a situation are dier, LSU...
