Yep, those beautiful aesthetically gorgeous renovations at Bryant Denny really make it feared and ear-splitting. We've lost to Alashama in BD exactly ONCE since last century. Somehow the renovations make it louder, I don't understand. But it is just DEAFENING.
Why, Tiger Stadium is a solitary confinement chamber in a Monastery library compared to Bryant-Denny.

You may love it but the fact is that Tiger Stadium is an asbestos filled dump compared Bryant-Denny. It's not symmetrical in design, everything is rusty, the paint peels off everywhere, there are broken windows all over... It's loud, there's no arguing that LSU fan create quite the atmosphere there, but it's a dump.

Bryant Denny Stadium is one of the finest football stadiums in the country and possibly tops in college football. Being from Louisiana I will confess that some of our fans could learn a thing or two from LSU fans when it comes to creating atmosphere, but there really is no comparing the buildings.

I've been hearing about these renovations for years too. I've spoken to the guy who owns the construction company. The logistics to making Tiger Stadium a 100,000 seater are a lot more complicated than just signing the check.

UPT -
Classy post. Agree with a lot of it.
BD can't help but get louder with more people, esp. for the big games.
The Tiger Stadium SEZ Upper starts construction this summer and will be finished for the 2014 season.
The outside mall and renovations have been going on since last season, including the "broken windows" and "peeling paint" you mentioned.
It is by no means "a dump."
BTW, Tiger Stadium is just as old as Bryant Denny. Your "dump" just has a whole new outside thanks to the wrap-around upper decks.
