Tiger Stadium

Louisiana

LoginSave

LSU's Tiger Stadium is also popularly known as 'Death Valley,' and lest you think that title is a little too grim, try coming here as an opposing team on a football game day. This stadium gets loud, like you're on the inside of a drum. It's an exhilarating sporting moment, and as united as Louisiana gets about anything.

American sports media regularly rank Tiger Stadium as one of the most difficult stadiums for a visiting team to play in. Tickets for football games can be bought online, and often go for high premiums.
