The atmosphere of a college stadium or noise made by it's fans can't be measure by a team's record. The greatest, loudest, craziest stadiums in the nation will never overcome the performance of a bad team and LSU had plenty of those over the past 15 years.

Don't have the website but I agree it has to be a myth. Since 1983, LSU is 86-49-2 at home. During that same time period, Auburn is 110-28-3 and Tennessee is 111-25-4.

I went but I was about as high as you could be in the stadium. It was still very loud and almost insane. LSU does a good job of keeping the crowd loud....of course there was a helluva lot for them to cheer about.

When things are going well for us, Jordan Hare is as loud as Tiger Stadium, but LSU is probably more consistently loud than Auburn. I've been to Tiger Stadium the last 2 times we played there, and that's about what I gathered.

Ti-guh Stadium ain't that tough!

I'm no mathematician, but even I can multiply and divide. The fact are clear – the Tigers are a slightly above average team at home. When you judge LSU against the Vanderbilts and Mississippi States of the world, I suppose the Tigers do have a home field advantage. But when compared to Tennessee, Auburn, Florida, Alabama, Georgia or even Ole Miss, LSU might as well play all its games at a neutral site.

The Tigers went 35-21 in home night games in the 1990's. Not too scary.

I try, I try. I think one thing we can all agree on is a hatred for the corndogs. If that's the tie that binds, then so be it.

Here's a great quote about Tiger Stadium, although you don't necessarily need to turn your speakers up.

"You've only beaten us once there since 1969, and even then it was by 2 points to a 3-8 team. Tiger Stadium is a filthy dump." -- me

The only thing scary about playing at LSU, is they way the fans treat the visting team's fans. Now that is down right scary!

JH is louder than tiger stadium for our 'rivalry' games.

I was there last year, and in 2001, 1997, 1995, 1993. The loudest I've ever heard ts was in 1997. But just a few minutes later, that night was also the quietest I've heard ts.

I was there, on the 45 yard line. I'll agree that the LSU fans were loud at the beginning, but I got the impression that everyone got bored by the second half (I know I was!) The 1997 game was much louder, because it was a much more exciting game.

My seats were on the 15 about half way up the lower section for this past game. I didn't feel the noise level in BR was as loud as the noise at the UT-AU game, nor was it as loud as previous games I attended in BR, including the earthquake game (naturally) or the game 2 years ago.

Night games in general are more intimidating to opposing fans, but not necessarily to the teams on the field. The lighting at BR is IMHO less than average, certainly not in the same league with Neyland or J-H.

Harder on passing teams and it's also harder to spot those interior holding calls

"Its harder to spot those interior holding calls" since Tiger Stadium lighting system is inferior to Jeeeeerdan-Hare. Caddy you are a true Brainstormer!

Here is my opinion of Tiger Stadium you can add to your little list of quotes:

"STD's and alcoholism have a friend in Tiger Stadium. Make sure to bring a family size container of hand sanitizer if you go to this modern day Sodom and Gomorrah."

Nothing anyone has said thusfar has been wrong. Yes, it is loud, but the myth of it being ear-drum shatteringly loud is bogus. It's louder than most, but the difference isn't enough to make a big deal about. Yes, it is a dump. I don't think anyone will try to say it's an aestetic marvel of a stadium. And no, they don't play any better at home than other teams do. It's just part of LSU tradition to buy into this myth because up until recently being loud and creating a "home field advantage" is the only thing for which anyone would give them credit.

the earthquake game is broadcast periodically on espn classics.....turn up your sound thru-out the entire game.....it is eerie in its intensity from the first quarter forward....it is that loud.....the seating is so elevated on the incline it traps the sound in.....reason this stadium is the #1 in not wanting to play in by opposing teams.....physics rules......

If the crowd noise determined who won or lost, USC would never win a game. (unless you count their band playing the same irritating song after EVERY SINGLE DOWN as crowd noise).

You talking about this one (sing the words to it):

Thissss is the only song we know.....it's the only song we knowwwwwww

I thought I was the only one that noticed that. I can't stand to watch USC. That same sound going on and on and on and on...drives me absolutely bonkers.

USMTiger · Apr 4, 2004

I have to mute the broadcast for the USC games after about 5 minutes. What's funny is all they do on their own forums is brag about how great their band is. The other song they play non-stop is the cliche "duh-duuuuh-duh - HEEYYY!" song which I can't think of the name right now. Combine that with the ass kissing announcers like last season and you've got one irritating football game.

As a realist, I don't expect fans or teams to come into Tiger Stadium and be completely shaking in their boots, or the team doing that either. But these fans that blow off Tiger Stadium noise and intensity are just talking out their @ss. I talked to a couple of UGA fans after our game with them last year, and they told me that they have never experienced the home field advantage that was supported by the crowd noise as they did at that game. I've been to two other stadiums in my lifetime so far: I went to an Ole Miss game in Jackson, which the fans were comparatively loud. I also went to the Swamp in Gainesville. The fans get loud at other venues, but loud only for a play. Then the noise dies down until another good play happens. At LSU, it's one continuous "rooarrrrrrr" of noise that picks up in volume during snaps. This may be me being a homer, but there's something intangible about Tiger Stadium that can't be proven or written about, and some people will never understand that until they come and experience it firsthand (like the UGA fans did last year).

Re: A few personal notes on the SEC Venues:

Sunday, October 23, 2005

BATON ROUGE, La. -- Their eardrums were still clogged after four hours in Tiger Stadium, and Auburn players admitted after Saturday night's 20-17 loss to LSU that the crowd noise seriously affected their offense.

Auburn had to waste time outs and took at least one delay of game penalty because the noise made changing plays at the line of scrimmage so difficult.

The attendance was announced as a sta dium-record 92,664 fans.

"It was a loud crowd, and we couldn't hear out there," Auburn quarterback Brandon Cox said.

Running back Kenny Irons also said the noise affected the team's concentration.

"The crowd noise affected us," Irons said. "We fought. Everybody fought. It's just hard to put it in when they have a great defense."
