Tiger Stadium

Tiger Stadium is a football arena on the Louisiana State University campus in Baton Rouge with more than one hundred thousand seats. The venue spreads across several tiers and includes separate sections for students, visitors, and sponsors.

The stadium opened in 1924 with several thousand seats and grew over the decades through multiple expansion phases. The last major renovation took place in the early 2000s and brought additional tiers along with expanded facilities for players.

The stadium takes its nickname from the university's Bengal tiger mascot, and fans wear purple and gold colors throughout game days. On match days, the venue fills with students, alumni, and families who often arrive hours before kickoff to tailgate on the lawns surrounding the grounds.

Visitors should bring warm clothing for evening events as temperatures can drop after sunset. Entrances are located around the building, and most seating areas sit above ground level and are reached by stairs or ramps.

The crowd reacted so forcefully to a deciding touchdown during a 1988 game against Auburn that a nearby seismometer recorded vibrations. This incident earned the match the name Earthquake Game and became a popular anecdote among supporters.
