Tiger stadium is number one by a lot. It’s not even close. You can try all you want, but lies are always lies. LSU Tiger Stadium is number 1!!!. Deep down you know it’s true. Everyone does.

Nah. I actually think Auburn is more impressive but I realize I’ve had more chances to experience Jordan-Hare.

I’ve been to AU-LSU games in Tiger Stadium in ‘97, ‘01, ‘03, ‘05, ‘07, and ‘09. Most involved Top 25 matchups and in some, both were Top 10. I also attended a Top 10 battle in 2012 when #3 S Carolina played at LSU.

In all of those experiences I witnessed a great atmosphere. But nothing I haven’t experienced at Auburn. The numbers also show Auburn as a better home field advantage:

Home Wins against Top 5 Teams Last 40 seasons:
AU- 11
LSU- 8

Home Wins against Top 10 Teams Last 40 seasons:
AU- 21
LSU- 20

Auburn has proven to be a better home field advantage in big games.
