Snuck in the Union a few times while it was closed. There was one door that was always unlocked upstairs for like a year. Never tried the stadium. Had some friends get on probation from sneaking in the natty.

I always wanted to sneak into the stadium. Is it possible to do it now? I would think its a lot harder now. My girl and i snuck into the Vanderbilt football stadium on valentines day this past year when we went to Nashville for a lil R&R. We did the usual ran around the field, took pics.

I just read every post in this thread and I was giving folks rep for good stories and all kinds of shiit. I just realized that these posts are years and years old. Some of the people that I repped up are probably dead now (hope not).

I don't feel so smart right now.

I had some friends who snuck into the PMAC and repelled down from the catwalk.

wow. I had heard of all of the other stuff, even done some of it. This never, ever, occurred to me or any of my friends. Wouldn't have tried it if it had.

Seeing this thread again brought back another Tiger Stadium memory I had stored long ago.

When they replaced the old wooden benches in the North end zone in the early 70's we snuck into the stadium and the workers had constructed a huge chute made from some of the new aluminum benches they were installing, so they could slide the old wood ones down it to field level so they could be disposed of.

The chute went from the top of the stadium almost all the way to the Tiger players field entrance, it was one bench high on both sides and two bench widths wide.

Well, being teenagers (I think I was 13 or 14) we decided it would make for an excellent slide.

We slid down it several times, the connections between the ends of the aluminum benches was rough, and it was way dirty.

We finally stopped when my last time down I ripped up my jeans pretty good, how I avoided cutting the crap outta myself I'll never know.

I had so much fun growing up in BR and exploring the campus most summer days back then.

Thanks for bumping this thread, loco. :thumb:

During the early 70's a friend's mom worked at LSU and during the summer we would go to work with her and wander the campus. because it was summer and the campus was somewhat empty, we went about everywhere we weren't supposed to (except the tunnels).

Being curious 12 year old boys, we snuck into Tiger Stadium and lo and behold, there was the biggest slide in the world set up coming straight down the north end zone, from the scoreboard to the field. We were happy that the stadium was empty except us, even at midday.

It was when they were changing out all of the seats to aluminum from wood. The "slide" was constructed of three aluminum seats welded together to form a U. They were sliding the old wood bleachers down this and collecting them at the bottom.

Well, we saw this as an awesome opportunity to slide down. Several times down and it was starting to get fun. You couldn't get up too much speed, so it didn't seem that dangerous. We finally stopped when I was sliding down and caught my jeans on a weld stub and ripped them wide open down the side. I came pretty close to hurting myself badly. That was the end of the fun that day.

We used to sneak into the PMAC, the track stadium was always open & it was GREAT to play football on the Tartan Turf artificial grass in the infield - especially when it rained - you would slide 20 yards if you were going fast with no rug burns!!!

Those were the days. I really miss 'em. I was glad that I got to know the campus even before I went to school there...
