Looks like an interesting stadium. Football? Are the Tigers the local team?

Yes, football (American). We are the LSU Tiger (or Fighting Tigers). The stadium has come a long way since this 1924 image that I own (I own the original). My image above was taken from the left side of the image below

Funny thing about the windows you see in the lower front. Back in the 40's, the university wanted build new dorms and to enclose the north end of the stadium (the part you are looking at). The state only gave the university money to build dorms (had to be used for dorms), so the university took the money and enclosed the north end with dorm rooms. Both ends of the stadium were eventually enclosed and contained dorm rooms. They were used until the mid-80's.

I think I remember you showing us that old photo once before and telling us the story about it.

U need to get special access to that stadium AT if this is your favourite subject.

Do you have any pictures of the inside of the stadium?
