re: Your stadium's progression through the years

This is interesting. I'm noticing that both Alabama and Tennessee didn't close in their bowls until the 60's, while LSU had enclosed Tiger Stadium in 1953 with the "Library" closing in the South end bringing capacity to 67,750.

I've been asked why teams like Ole Miss, State and A&M always played at Tiger Stadium instead of home-and-away series. This is the reason, Tiger stadium was generally the largest, or second largest, stadium in the SEC.

This was due in large part to expansions to Tulane Stadium over time to accomodate the Sugar Bowl. There was something of a competition between the two back in the day.
