Bama fans, what did you think of Death Valley's environment?

First, good win. Congrats.

Was curious what the opposing fans thought about that scene in the stadium? Helluva place to watch that much talent go after each other.

Always the best road trip between the fans, stadium, etc.

Just nothing else like it.

Definitely a tough place to play.

Hadn't been since I was a kid. Had an absolute blast. Can't wait to go back in two years.

It wasn't as electric as Ole Miss but that was due to LSU fans being scarred by Bama. I told our group in the stands that you could tell the entire place was just waiting for something bad to happen.

We'll be telling our grandkids about some of these Bama/LSU games. It's the best rivalry in college football right now.

It was my first trip. Got tiger baited on the parade grounds, had a front row spot for the team/band coming down victory hill, partied to Cowboy Mouth. The atmosphere in the stadium was incredible. I was prepared to be let down, but definitely wasn't.

LSU-Bama has had it's share of bad moments between fans, but for the most part it's just good people who know football and like to have a good time. Hard to beat.

I've been to 4 games at Baton Rouge (wasn't there this past Saturday)

The main reason it's such a loud environment is because old LSU fans are loud and rowdy. Young fans are always rowdy no matter the stadium, but the middle aged and old folk LSU fans make noise which is different from most stadium.

Alabama has tons of old money fans who sit there and golf clap and shite.

Yup, everyone was just bracing for a massive let down.


And weren't disappointed

I said it this morning...it was without a doubt the best environment for a football game that I've ever seen....and that includes most SEC schools and three national championship venues that I've been to. That was the first time I've ever been there and I can't wait to go back. Y'all had it rocking.

Had Louisiana Saturday Night stuck in my head all day.

I found myself singing "Bitch I'm from Louisiana" way more than I'd like to admit

Bama fans call it "Happy Valley" Since we have won so many games there.

This is a bucket list item for me. I want to go to a game where I can cheer for LSU and also when I'm pulling against them. I'm an Alabama fan but LSU is my second favorite team to watch.

This.... I for one will be truly sad when Les Miles hangs it up.. That guy is great for CFB and even though I like to jab at LSU fans from time to time, it's all in good fun... Death Valley is awesome and I love making the trip down there...

I didn't go this year, but I've always had a great time. Great environment. Great band. LSU fans always treat us great in the stadium. Of course there are a few drunk assholes but I've encountered those everywhere and most of them just tigerbait us and we laugh and go about our business.

I am a born and raised Louisianian...Louisianan...I'm from Louisiana. And I love our culture. Different circumstances steered me toward being a Bama fan though.
I have been to many games in TS. Only once when LSU was playing Bama (2002). I love going to games there. LSU naturally has the best tailgating because south Louisiana easily is the home to the best cuisine in the world.

I shamelessly love hearing something good about the weekend.

I had a great time as always. The games have sucked for me. The last 3 I've been to have come down to the wire and I hate games like that. This was my first time going out after the game. Had a blast a tiger land. The stadium was loud as always. The moment the energy completely left the building IMO was when Foster tackled Fournette on the KO return. Before the play my section was still confident in overtime, or they were pretending to be anyway. They looked like they just watched their dog of 10 years get hit by a truck on the KO return though, which made me feel a lot better about overtime. Great experience as usual.
