They had to replace the sod in some areas, but you could still see tire and drag marks all over the place.

In the 1950s, Mike the Tiger (Mike I) was kidnapped by Tulane fans before a Tiger-Green Wave football game. He was found, abandoned, in New Orleans -- he and his cage sprayed Tulane green.
One memorable incident involving Mike IV began in the early-morning hours of November 28, 1981 when pranksters cut the locks on Mike's cage. The tiger roamed freely for hours, attacked a small tree, and appeared to be enjoying himself before becoming trapped in the Track Stadium near his cage. Three tranquilizer shots later, the wandering mascot was returned to his home without further incident and awoke without ill effects.
This happened during my time at LSU and we assumed that since it happened the weekend of the LSU-Tulane game in New Orleans (and fortunately during the Thanksgiving break) that the "pranksters" were Greenies.
