Tiger Stadium gets Facelift

Recommended Posts

Even though Tiger Stadium is 88 years old, it will have some new looks when the LSU football team opens its season there against North Texas on Sept. 1.

On the north end of the stadium, a new coating has been applied to the outer façade and a new lighting system has been installed that turns the upper archways purple and gold and lights the “LSU” on the stadium’s north scoreboard.

Another change scheduled for completion before the opener is a new portal gating system on the west side that will include a national championship plaza as well as plaques commemorating LSU All-Americans and members of the College Football Hall of Fame. Also, just below the west upper deck facing Nicholson Drive, the name “Tiger Stadium” is illuminated in 10-foot tall letters.

The change to the gating system will also result in a change in the numbering system on the west side of the stadium. Gates will now be numbered 1 through 6 from south to north at the west entry gates instead of the old “Portal A.”
