1. Tiger Stadium – LSU

Known as “Death Valley,” Tiger Stadium is one of the most intimidating environments in college football. With a capacity of over 102,000 fans, this legendary stadium reaches deafening noise levels, making it nearly impossible for opposing teams to communicate on the field. Night games in Baton Rouge are particularly electrifying, as the atmosphere intensifies under the lights.
