Since 2004, LSU has either won or played a very close game against Bama in Tiger stadium. The atmosphere has undoubtedly given LSU a better shot. In 2008 and 2014, two terrible LSU teams brought #1 ranked bama into OT in Death Valley.
Losing is losing and I can count on one hand the number of times LSU has beaten Bama in Baton Rouge in my life, and I am middle aged. It is pretty clear that Alabama isn't intimidated by Tiger Stadium. To Alabama, LSU is just another divisional team that sometimes makes it interesting, but Bama usually beats.

it has nothing to do with intimidation. you can probably count how many times LSU has beaten Bama in Tuscaloosa in your lifetime on one hand too.
The level of crowd noise effects every football team. Well coached teams such as Alabama usually handle loud atmospheres quite well compared to most teams, but it still affects their communication process. In heated SEC rivalries the crowd is usually loud enough to where the opposing QB is unable to call audibles. If you think home field advantage has no effect on the outcome of games, then you are arguing against numbers.
In the past five seasons, the home team in SEC conference games has won 55.3% of the games.
LSU has lost 13 conference games since 2011 and 9 of those losses were on the road.
