Grey and fun stadium to watch a game. They say this is one of the toughest places to play at. I…read moremight can believe this at times, but honestly was just a little disappointed in the crowd noise, but it's still very loud. The inside part of the stadium is nice and up to date. The seats are older and need repainting but still in great shape. The grass on the field is pristine and looks phenomenal. The outside even looks very good and up to date, very minimalistic. For the concourse area where the concessions are are extremely old. It needs updating badly. It's just not in good shape. They have great food and drink options, but just old and tattered. The bathrooms are even worse. It's like they have never even tried to update these. I mean you are using toilets and troughs, it's that bad. I honestly expected more. I walked around the whole stadium expecting there to be some cool LSU memorial of former player, but there was nothing. Just an old concourse that nobody has put any thought too. Overall, I expected much much more from the long tall tails I've heard from this place, but just didn't live up to the hype. Great time, great people, and great atmosphere. Just a very old stadium wrapped in glitter. Also, don't let the preconception fool you of people saying these are rude and ugly fans. They are not! These are some of the nicest fans I have ever met. I was wearing the opposing fans gear and was treated very well and very nicely. It definitely changed my thoughts on lsu fans, and honestly kind of made me a small fan of them.

There's nothing…read morelike stepping into Death Valley on a Saturday night--the energy is electric, the noise is deafening, and the passion is unmatched. Honestly, there isn't a close second when it comes to college football atmospheres. What makes it even more special are the Cajun folks of LSU. The fans here aren't just passionate--they're welcoming, fun-loving, and make the entire game day experience unforgettable. The tailgating scene is second to none: from jambalaya to gumbo, crawfish boils to boudin, you're surrounded by incredible food and even better people who treat you like family, no matter where you're from. Simply put, Death Valley is college football heaven. If you've never experienced a Saturday night here, you're missing out on one of the greatest traditions in sports. GEAUX TIGERS!

This is Baton Rouge's premiere venue for any large venue gathering. For all of the various types of events listed above, the set-ups have been different. The venue is pretty versatile and can handle any kind of event. It's locate at the heart of the downtown Baton Rouge area. The only problem, I see a lot of is when a huge event is letting out and the traffic could be quite horrendous, when exiting the parking garages. Sometimes, one could be stuck for an hour or so, when everyone is trying to get out at the same time. You may be better off finding street parking and just walking to the arena. What's great about it being downtown is that there are a lot of eateries close by and you may even catch a free event in the outdoor venue - Galvez Plaza. If you are coming for a huge special event, then prepare to pay for parking (bring cash though; preferably, exact change). I wish they would bring cooler acts here, so I don't have to drive all the way to NOLA to see a show.

The seats are VERY uncomfortable for anyone over 5'7" because your knees reach the seat in front of you even when sitting with your back against your chair!

Day 1-3 I was able to bring my wallet but day four I can not?! We are not sneaking cheeseburgers in here with our wallets. And also, why allow full sized carry on luggage in here and NOT a wallet. I'm literally watching people with all these bags and outside food and drinks and I know these people aren't athletes. The facilities were clean, the seating is good, the chicken fingers were good but again this bag policy needs work. Also it was very cold...blankets were permitted. And if you need to talk...

They also have a ton of vending and include items like Jambalaya, gumbo, alligator, shrimp PO boys and of course burgers, hot dogs, sausage, nachos, pizza, etc. The food selection will not disappoint.

There was also a graduation ceremony going in next door to where we were at on the same complex and there were still spots. The security getting in was not smooth. One line, with an over zealous security staff and inefficient processes, including yelling and screaming did not help. Once inside, the seating was good as they dived the space into two gyms so you were close to the one you needed to be. Concessions were priced a bit high and their screen had a "tip" option for getting your own food and having them ring it up.

I've attended HS football games and the US track & field competition here. And John is correct that the seats are not super comfy; this is why my Mom has a stash of stadium cushions, I guess. However the seats are well spaced so there's plenty of room to pass by others. Back in the day there used to be concerts here. I really wish they would do that again, because that would be awesome. If you have the chance to go to an event here, go just tour the venue.

Tad Gormley is the premier venue for prep football in New Orleans. There are many other stadiums…read morewhere you are likely to watch a high school game, but there is only one Tad Gormley. This is the stadium where I attended many football games when I was in high school. I was able to attend as both a fan and a player so I got to see many unique things about this stadium. As a fan I liked the large amount of comfortable seating. OK, that is a lie, the seats are hard metal that will make your butt fall asleep after only a brief period of time. When it is cold, your butt is not only asleep, it is freezing. If you come here often, I recommend one of those cushiony stadium seats, preferably one with your school's logo. There are concession areas and bathrooms on each side of the stadium so you don't need to mingle with the opposing team's fans, unless you want to. This helps prevent all sorts of silly arguments between football fanatics, especially grandparents of players. Once the canes start swinging, look out. As a player, the roar of the crowd was always motivation even if I was just headed to the Gatorade table. The view from the sidelines was always unique as it was surprisingly difficult to pick anyone out in the crowd. But pick you out, they could. I will never forget seeing friends or family after the game and having to endure their questions about why I held my helmet a certain way, or why I picked the red Gatorade over the orange. It was all a bit stressful. The most amazing event I experienced here was the time my team scored a victory and it marked some astronomical number of victories for our head coach. You would have thought we had one the Super Bowl except that we were in high school and not being paid exorbitant sums of money. OK, enough reminiscing.
