Tiger Stadium and it isn't close. Bama has lost there less than 10 times in its history. You can't say Bryant Denny because no one rates BDS.
For a Bama fan, this is definitely true. Though LSU/Bama is somewhat of a weird series. Bama dominates LSU in Tiger Stadium and LSU has a winning record against Bama in games played at Bryant-Denny.
I believe LSU has a 10+ game lead at home against every team in the West except Arkansas and even that is like 10-2 in favor of LSU or something like that.
Oddly enough, with all the scheduling complaints, Tennessee has had the most success there besides Bama. They hold a four game edge on LSU in Tiger Stadium. Tennessee mostly played there many years ago, but still... UF has a one game lead on LSU in Tiger Stadium (not bad considering Spurrier's reigning dominance of LSU). LSU and UGA are tied at each other's stadiums. Mizzou has never played at LSU and LSU has dominated the other three East teams in Tiger Stadium. The teams with the most competitive records in Tiger Stadium are some of the winningest programs ever.
I see people throwing around time frames too. In this millennium, I believe that no team in the SEC has a winning record against LSU in Tiger Stadium (UGA is 1-1 there I believe).

Bama fan (all of the ones I work with daily and know personally anyways) wont witness a game live in Tiger Stadium because most are too scared to come down for a game. So they cant really speak to crowd noise or how the stadium can effect play. So they're talking out of their collective arse, mostly.
The hate for Tiger Stadium by Bama fan is evidenced in this thread.

Which I did and LSU had the 25th best home field advantage over that period
LOL your facts are from a ridiculously arbitrary time period (that just happens to include the worst decade in LSU football history) that have absolutely nothing to do with homefield advantage. If you want a true representation then do the entire history of Death Valley. If you want a representation of recent homefield advantage do 5 years.
Picking a time frame of 25 years that includes a programs worst decade and comes just short of its best stretch of the last 50 years is just stupid.

Another arbitrary time period:
Since 2000
LSU has the 5th best winning % in the nation. 1st in SEC. See how that works?

Yes....exactly. I get it. I used the sample I had available and it included UGA which also sucked during that time period but had a better home record than LSU. No one is saying LSU does not have a home field advantage just that it is overrated

11 losses at home since 2000, while playing in the SEC, is overrated?
Ok

I am fine with that idea. I think the better teams in the SEC play in those types of environments enough to not really have an issue, but I can certainly see how a good home crowd can help your own players perform above their heads. I imagine lesser teams from other conferences probably feel the effects of a hostile home crowd more than our top teams.
yeah definitely, it can still happen with SEC teams sometimes, particularly with inexperienced quarterbacks. But you get like Arizona or somebody coming in here and they are prone to completely come off the rails much more than another SEC team that play in big time atmospheres much more regularly.

LSU. Their night time record is remarkable. They are around .600 in day games there.

If LSU has an overrated home field, then who doesn't in your mind?

2. Ben Hill Griffin Stadium (The Swamp), Florida .863 9. Kyle Field (The 12th Man), Texas A&M .801 10. Jordan-Hare, Auburn .796 11. Neyland Stadium, Tennessee .796 14. Sanford Stadium (Between the Hedges) Georgia .780 25. Tiger Stadium (Death Valley), LSU .689
Overrated is an understatement.
Why should Alabama or it's fans be impressed in the least of this fictional home field advantage?
As far as this "arbitrary" time period of the facts posted above, LSU won 2 BCS and several SEC championships in those years, with about 8 bad years in the 90's.
But please don't let statistics and science get in the way of your feelings.
The preacher at the Church of Jesus Christ with Signs Following in East Tennessee feels and believes that the rattlesnakes and copperheads his congregation pick up on Sundays will not bite you if you just have enough faith and believe. Who is more qualified to speak on that than the congregations preacher? He has seen more nonbelievers bitten than anyone. Amorites?
