It\u2019s scary, it\u2019s loud and, according to a poll recently conducted by Athlon Sports, it\u2019s also the best college football stadium in the United States, with the best game-day atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The stadium opened on Nov. 5, 1924. At that time, it had only 12,000 seats. Over the years, the stadium underwent several renovation and expansion projects, and, last season, its official seating capacity was 92,542, making it the eighth largest on-campus stadium in the NCAA and the 18th largest stadium in the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/synd.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2014\/07\/64384384.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-275689\" title=\"64384384\" src=\"https:\/\/synd.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2014\/07\/64384384.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"289\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>Death Valley is currently undergoing another expansion project. At a cost of $75 million, the renovation started in 2012, and it is scheduled for completion this summer. The project calls for the construction of 24 suites, a 3,000-seat club section, 1,500 in regular seating and 400 to 600 in standing room only. It will increase the stadium\u2019s capacity to about 100,000, making it the seventh largest on-campus college football stadium in the NCAA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Athlon Sports has asked 15 college football experts to help rank the best college football stadiums and game day atmospheres in the nation. LSU\u2019s Tiger Stadium easily outpaced the competition. Death Valley was on all but two of the 15 ballots, receiving the most first place votes, seven. It was ranked No. 1 or No. 2 on 11\u00a0of the 15\u00a0ballots. Ohio State\u2019s Horseshoe came in on second place, with Oregon\u2019s Autzen Stadium finishing on third.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Photo credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lsusports.net\">www.lsusports.net<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LSU&rsquo;s Tiger Stadium is known throughout the nation as the most difficult place for a visiting team to play.
