Why you should go…

Tiger Stadium, nicknamed Death Valley, has been home to LSU football since 1924 and now seats 102,321. On select non-game dates you can book a guided tour of about 45 minutes that starts in the Bill Lawton Room at the northwest corner and continues past the North Stadium plaques, into the Jeff Boss Locker Room, through the Chute and onto the field. Tickets must be bought at least 24 hours ahead, and the goalposts are an unusual H shape.
