TRANSCRIPT
For the college
football fan, it
doesn't get any
better than Tiger
Stadium. Already
considered one of the
loudest athletic
venues in the
world, an additional 11,600
seats were added last
season making Death
Valley one of the most
intimidating stadiums in
all of college football.
Once the new EastUpper Deck was completed,Tiger Stadium,with a seatingcapacity of 91,600,becamethe fourth-largest on-campusfootball stadium in the coun-try. In the first year of thenewly-expanded TigerStadium,LSU averagedschool-record 87,815 fans acontest,the fifth-highest totalin the nation in 2000.Threetimes last year, LSU drewcrowds of 90,000 or moreincluding a school-record
mark of 91,778 against Alabama.In addition to the new east upper deck,70 skyboxes,
called “Tiger Dens”were built giving Tiger fans luxuryaccommodations.The addition of the 11,600 seats markedthe first expansion to Tiger Stadium since 1978 when thewest upper deck was completed.
But stadium size is only part of the story of this cathe-dral to college football.
Poll after poll have proclaimed Tiger Stadium,knownthroughout America as "Death Valley,”as the greatest siteanywhere for a college football game.
In 1998, Sport Magazine named Tiger Stadium "themost feared road playing site in America." And in 1996,ESPN named LSU's pre-game party the best in all of

America. Those surveys supported the previ-ous polls by Gannett News Service in 1995,The Sporting News in 1989 and the CollegeFootball Association in 1987 that show TigerStadium to be the most difficult place for avisiting team to play.
Indeed, Tiger Stadium is legendary incollege football circles for its overflowing,raucous crowds and for uncountable memo-ries that have been spawned inside the mam-moth structure.
Last year alone, the goal posts camedown twice.Immediately after the Tigersupset then No.11 ranked Tennessee 38-31 inovertime,the capacity crowd of 91,682 spilledonto the field of Tiger Stadium to celebratethe victory. Hundreds of students lined thesidelines and the back of the north end zoneas the Tigers’held the Vols scoreless in over-time for the victory.
The goal posts came down again in thefinal home game of the season as the Tigers’posted a 30-28 win over Alabama, their firstvictory over the Crimson Tide in TigerStadium since 1969.
The goal posts came down for the firsttime in 1997 as all of America witnessed oneof the most explosive nights in the history ofthe grand ol' stadium when the Tigers
upended No. 1-ranked Florida before anational television audience. A sea of Tigerfans swamped the floor of Tiger Stadium asboth goal posts came crashing down -- ascene that was replayed countless times incollege football highlight shows.
Perhaps the most famous moment inDeath Valley history took place on "The NightThe Tigers Moved the Earth," October 8,1988.When Tiger quarterback TommyHodson threw to Eddie Fuller for a winningtouchdown against Auburn, the explosion ofthe crowd was so thunderous that it causedan earth tremor that registered on a seismo-graph meter in LSU's Geology Departmentacross campus.
Then there was the night the Tigersnearly upset No.1-ranked Southern Calbefore a sellout crowd on September 28,1979. The Tigers came up short,but thecrowd roared from kickoff to final gun in agame many ardent LSU followers rank as theloudest in stadium history.
And of course there was Halloweennight,1959, when Billy Cannon made hisfamous 89-yard punt return to lead No. 1LSU past No. 3 Ole Miss. Legend has it thatfamilies living near the campus lakes camerunning out of their homes in fear of thenoise erupting around them.
Those are the highlights,some of themoments which shaped the character of thisgreat stadium. But week in and week outeach fall, a new chapter unfolds in the historyof Death Valley.

LSU has averaged70,968 spectators foreach of its 277 battles
in Tiger Stadium since theNCAA began compiling official attendance figures in1957. Last year, 614,704 fanswitnessed seven homegames in Tiger Stadium.
Since the start of the NCAA's atten-dance compilations,LSU has finished in thenation's top 10 in average attendance 38 of43 seasons.The Tigers have drawn 19,658,160fans since 1957.
LSU's all-time record in Tiger Stadium isa sparkling 318-133-18 (.697),and since thestart of football at LSU in 1893,the Tigershave posted a home record of 398-154-19(.714).
The home of one of football's proudesttraditions,this unique structure also onceserved as a dormitory for approximately 1,500students, and while Broussard Hall,thenLSU's athletic dormitory, was being renovat-
ed during the fall of1986,the LSU footballplayers lived in TigerStadium.
The original phaseof construction wascompleted in 1924. Thisfirst phase included theeast and west stands,which seated about12,000. Seven yearslater (1931),the sideswere extended upwardto accommodate anadditional 10,000 fans, raising the capacity to

22,000. In 1936, the stadium seating capacitywas increased to 46,000 with the addition of24,000 seats in the north end,making TigerStadium into a horseshoe configuration.
The next phase of construction tookplace in 1953, when the stadium's south endwas closed to turn the horseshoe into a bowl,increasing the seating capacity to 67,720.
The upper deck atop the west standswas completed in 1978, and it added 8,000seats to the stadium's capacity. Additionalseating in two club level sections, whichflanked the existing press box, brought thetotal addition to approximately 10,000 seatsand raised the stadium's capacity to approxi-mately 78,000.
Refurbishing began on the stadium inthe summer of 1985,when the east and weststands were waterproofed, and 25,000 chairback seats were added to replace the older"bench" type seats. Another phase ofimprovements was completed in 1987,whenthe north and south stands were water-proofed and newer bleachers were once againinstalled to replace the older ones.
The playing field was moved 11feet to the south in 1986, to providemore room between the back line ofthe North End Zone and the curvatureof the stadium fence which surroundsthe field. It also put the playing area inthe exact center of the arena's grassysurface.
The Tiger Stadium press box wasredecorated prior to the 1987 season,and a few more seats were installed atthe upper portion of the west lowerstands. Also,the stadium's seatingarrangement was renumbered prior tothe 1987 season, to make all seats auniform size. The addition of bleacherseating in 1988 brought the capacity to80,150 and the elimination of somebleacher seating after the 1994 seasonto accommodate renovated visitingteam dressing facilities, and other ensu-ing seating adjustments,brought thecapacity to 80,000, its size until theexpansion for the 2000 football season.
