Tiger Stadium, Baton Rouge (must see)
Tiger Stadium is an outdoor stadium located in Baton Rouge, on the campus of Louisiana State University. It is the home stadium of the LSU Tigers football team. In 2005, the stadium served as a temporary relocation site for the New Orleans Saints and Tulane Green Wave after Hurricane Katrina's damages.
Construction on the stadium, designed by the architecture firm of Wogan and Bernard, was completed in 1924. When it first opened, it had a capacity of 12,000.
Tiger Stadium has been remodeled and expanded numerous times, which cost almost $200 million. The outdoor stadium now has a capacity of over 102,000. However, its record attendance exceeded that number by nearly 25,000 during a Garth Brooks concert in 2022.
The stadium has been nicknamed "Death Valley" because it is considered the most challenging stadium for a visiting team due to its reputation as the loudest stadium in the country.
