Mr Ed? My Friend Flicka? There was a Spider-Man in a racing flick you might like but the horse is on the distaff side (not that there’s anything wrong with that).

If you’re really horse don’t do Deep Throat, you’ll rip her lungs out Jim.

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.

Food is a secondary consideration, nothing special, but it’s hot and available. You won’t likely eat your way through the ticket, even if you go back for seconds, thirds, or fourths…

View is not bad at all for an end zone seat, but being up high you are somewhat removed from the crowd noise (much like all the upper deck seats) so the intensity level leaves a little to be desired.

The primary benefits of the club are clean bathrooms and food stands that you can go to and return to your seat during a 3 minute timeout…try doing that just about anywhere else without a “club” designation.

There’s room to hang out on the concourse if you don’t want to sit in your seat (can’t find that anywhere else in stadium) and there are belly up counters behind the last row of seats where you can eat and watch the game standing up (again, no where else but in club seating).

And, if there is another field-storming game, you can get from the Club to field level in no time flat.

Lastly, it’s one of the easiest ways to get a row 1 seat with an unobstructed view that is not subject to fans constantly walking in front of you, fans congregating in front of you, or fans taking your seat.

For me, The Skyline Club seats and spacious concourse eliminate some of the most problematic challenges (crowd and crowd-related), and is more than a good trade off…

I’ll be up there for the Ole Miss game.

USC unis are bold and stately, helmets not so much

Loud it was, frenzied it was not. The only 3 crowd eruptions were the Daniels INT, Dixieland Delight, and throwing Kid Rock up on the video board - amirite?

This was not a Tiger Stadium-on-the-edge-of-delirium night, the home crowd was quite composed with the lead. Had LSU led Bama by 2 TDs in Death Valley anytime in a game Neck and OEO would be sung nonstop with or without band accompaniment and the joint would be rocking. The BDS crowd never got anywhere near that froth, but down-for-down - for the entire game - their crowd was into it and I dug it.

Tiger Stadium rarely sounds that loud on a 2nd down, and just about never on 2nd downs for an entire game…hats off!

Hoped upon hope that our offense would shut the crowd up, but that’s asking a lot with only 28 points production.

Seats on the 40 lower bowl halfway between the bands.

As I recall “visitor” painted end zones in Tiger Stadium in the 70s were when Ole Miss used it as their home field…Ole Miss end zone colors rocked! That was in the big block letter days.
