| Tiger Stadium, home to Louisiana State University's football team, opened in 1924, with a seating capacity of 12,000. A lot's changed since then. |
| When a capacity crowd is present, Tiger Stadium ranks, in population, as the 6th largest city in the state of Louisiana. I wonder what the folks who attended the first game in 1924 would think of it now! |
| After several expansions over the years, the stadium now boasts a seating capacity of 92, 542, making it the 10th largest stadium in the NCAA and the 17th largest stadium in the world. |
