25 Fields of Fire: College Stadiums Forged in the Heat of Rivalry

3. Tiger Stadium (Baton Rouge, Louisiana): Death Valley's Saturday Night Terrors

Night games in "Death Valley" are already legendary, but when Alabama rolls into town, Tiger Stadium becomes a primal scream. With over 102,000 fans packed shoulder-to-shoulder, the roar is almost physical, often registering on seismographs. The close-quarter, steep seating traps every decibel, creating a suffocating environment for the Crimson Tide. The "Tiger Walk" electrifies the air, culminating in a game where the ferocity of the LSU faithful aims to break the will of their most hated rival. This is college football at its most raw and intense.
