I’ll take the national titles over the atmosphere.

Think pretty much anyone not part of the two teams would pick Tiger Stadium to get the college experience. BDS while a nicer stadium just doesn’t have the same visiting fan experience and atmosphere.
As an Alabama fan I would agree but I think it has more to do with the fact that Tiger Stadium (especially at night) has arguably the best atmosphere the best atmosphere in all of college football than Alabama not providing a good visiting fan experience as far as atmosphere goes.
BDS gets plenty loud for a big game especially in big games where we're an underdog or barely a favorite

BDS in a big game is great.
LSU with a big game is just different.

No stadium in the history of stadiums is as over rated as Tiger Stadium.
To say the atmosphere is 100x better than UGA, Saban Field at BDS, A&M etc. is just repeating a false narrative.
Its louder because of the design, other than that, its like most any other SEC stadium outside of Vandy and the Mississippi schools.

Alabama's Bryant-Denny might not have the reputation of being intimidating, but since 2008 it's a rare thing for an opposing team to come out of BDS with a win. Over the last 16 years, these are the only teams to do it:
2010 Auburn (national champions)
2011 LSU (BCS NCG participant)
2012 Texas A&M (Heisman Trophy winner)
2015 Ole Miss (Sugar Bowl champions)
2019 LSU (national champions)
2023 Texas (CFP participant)

I wonder what the teams to win in Tiger Stadium over the last 16 years are
For the best/loudest/most intimidating etc. etc. it must be pretty small.

In Tiger Stadium, if the team is ballin’, the band is calling, and the crowd answers…it used to be mainly the student section and SEZ but when the whole crowd is in on it it becomes a frenzy, a transcendent experience that few stadiums and crowds can conjure up.
It stirs up like a TORNADO, and you are swept up in it, and it’s just on the edge of anarchy, I’d think even the visiting teams are digging the scene, it’s what we are ALL there for, and it doesn’t happen every game (and for some teams and schools never), so catch them while you can, smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.
Unless it’s a close four-quarter game the visitors won’t get the true Tiger Stadium experience, win or lose (sorry Tennessee) so the ideal is a very competitive game…LSU doesn’t always hold up their end of that bargain (sorry Bama).
But make no mistake, there’s always a tornado warning in effect there…with a chance of near anarchy.

I don't think this has as much to do with the stadium as it does with the dudes on the field and the coach that was leading them over that time period.
Went to BDS last year for the LSU game; it was a good atmosphere. The on field emcee and cell phone light show was cool. But Tiger Stadium literally gets unhinged for big games.

For how big BDS is, it's really unimpressive. Tiger stadium is pretty much one of the best places to watch a college football game in my opinion so to answer your question, LSU has the better stadium and the better environment. Plus, LSU fans will treat you to some good food and alcohol before cussing your mother at the game.

Hold on a second, my friend! Considering Louisiana is renowned for its incredible food, it’s surprising that Tiger Stadium’s concessions could be among the least impressive in the SEC.

Even if it's not a dick sucking topic, that LSU fans frequently create, an LSU fan is going to find a way to bring dick sucking into a thread.
It doesn't matter how absurd the stretch is, leave it to a coonass to relate it to dick sucking. There could be a letter D in one post, a letter I in another post, a letter C and K in another and an LSU fan will automatically assume the whole thread is a secret code about dick sucking.
They've always been faggy. Their forefathers offered to suck every dick in the British Army to not be evicted from Acadia, but they were too gay even for the notoriously gay English.
Once they became established in the murky, isolated, muddy shitwaters of the Mighty Mississippi because no cities would accept them, current LSU fan's ancestors took gay dick sucking to an extreme never before known on the face of Planet Earth.
STTDB is not just a "cute" college football chant for them, it's a way of life from way, way back.

Probably depends on which team you're a fan of.

Tiger Stadium on average is on a completely different level atmosphere wise compared to not only BDS but literally 97% of college football stadiums nationwide.
No offense but BDS atmosphere wise is a completely different fan experience for a visiting Ole Miss fan as opposed to say a visiting Auburn, Florida, Tennessee, LSU, or Georgia fan.
Other than the last game Ole Miss won in BDS in 2015 where BDS did get really loud because Ole Miss sustained a lead throughout and the fans realized they needed to be a bigger factor, Alabama fans rarely if ever have had a reason to feel like Ole Miss was a serious threat to come into BDS to pull an upset. The atmosphere in BDS for practically every Ole Miss game is more one of relief whenever we begin to inevitably put the game out of reach usually no later than midway thru the 3rd quarter.
For better or worse (especially during Coach Saban and Coach Bryant's tenures) BDS crowds were so conditioned to expect comfortably lopsided home wins against most SEC teams not named Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, or Tennessee that Alabama fans became complacent and reactionary rather than seeing a need to be a factor themselves against any other visiting team (with a few exceptions) not included among those 5 teams. Even in the really lean years from 1997 to 2007 Alabama rarely lost to either of the Mississippi schools at BDS.
Bottom line is Tiger Stadium is going to be far and away a louder experience for a visiting Ole Miss fan than BDS likely ever will be because LSU fans unlike Bama fans consider y'all both a major rival and therefore much more of a threat to come into their stadium and pull off an upset. It also makes a huge difference whether you're seated in the lower bowl or the upper deck of each respective stadium as well
