The LSU Tigers play football in the Western Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The SEC has traditionally been one of the toughest conferences in football. The LSU Tigers have over the years had few in-state rivals since Tulane left the conference, but with the competitiveness of the SEC, LSU Tigers has found inter-conference rivalries grow with Auburn, Florida, Arkansas, and Alabama. Their nail biter of an overtime loss to Kentucky may have started yet another rivalry! Recent Tigers history has produced top talents such as coach Nick Saban, running backs Kevin Faulk and Joseph Addai, and quarterbacks JaMarcus Russell and Matt Flynn.
The LSU Tigers play at Tigers Stadium on LSU campus. The stadium holds over 92,000 spectators, and, also known as "Death Valley", is considered one of, if not the, toughest places to play football as a visitor in the country, giving the LSU Tigers an incredible home field advantage. Named by the Sporting News as the best place to attend a college football game and by ESPN as the best pre-game party in college football, attending a game at LSU is an experience not to be missed by college football fans. Pre-game tailgating at LSU constitutes the biggest party in Baton Rouge besides Mardi Gras. Buy LSU Tigers football tickets and be a part of a long time college football tradition!
