Quick Tiger Stadium Seating Map Overview
Hover over any section for a row breakdown
Use LSU’s official seating chart first—it labels gates, amenities, clubs, and even the LSU and visiting benches. You’ll see the LSU bench on the west/southwest sideline near lower sections 101–106 (midfield 102–104) and the visiting bench opposite near 300–306 (midfield 302–304).
Student Sections & Band. Students occupy a large block in the north end and northwest corner (200-level), and the Golden Band from Tigerland sits in Section 217. Additional student seating has historically included parts of 105–106, 202–205, and 218–236. Always confirm the current map before you buy.
Tiger Stadium History
Tiger Stadium, home of the Louisiana State University Tigers, is located in the state capital of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Tiger Stadium has a reputation of being one of the most difficult stadiums to play at in all of college football (which is the main factor in it being nicknamed “Death Valley”), as plenty of opposing teams have noted it is nearly impossible to communicate on the field because of the noise level.
The stadium has undergone recent renovations that give it a capacity of 102,321 for this season, making it the seventh-largest stadium in the entire world, much to the dismay of the rest of the SEC conference and all other opponents alike.
Best Seats by What You Care About
1) Best overall view (non‑club)
- Lower midfield behind LSU: Sections 102–104 put you close to coaching adjustments and substitutions. Great sightlines near the 50-yard line without climbing.
- Across the field: Sections 302–304 mirror the view on the visitors’ side.
2) Best value view (chairbacks + easy in/out)
- Tiger Terrace (front of upper deck): Seats at the front of the 500s—Sections 510–520 & 530–543—are small (2–4 rows), chairbacked, and easy to access. If you want shade earlier in day games, pick the west sideline (510–520).
3) Best seats in the shade (day games)
- As a rule of thumb at Tiger Stadium, the West sideline gets shade sooner in mid‑afternoon, the East sideline sits in the sun longer, the South end zone has limited early shade, and the North end stays sunny late. Night games reduce sun concerns.
4) Loudest atmosphere
- Near the student section in the north/northwest 200s (e.g., 218–224) or lower‑bowl pockets by 105–106. Add in the band at 217 and it’s classic Death Valley.
5) Family‑friendly comfort
- Aim for the west upper sideline away from the student block—Sections 610–619 (front rows) often have chairbacks and catch earlier shade.
6) Best on a budget
- Upper corners/ends in the 600s deliver a full‑field perspective at lower prices. If you prefer amenities bundled in, see the Skyline Club below for a value‑perks tradeoff.
Premium & Club Seating (What You Get)
- West Stadium Club (multiple levels) – Sideline view with covered exterior seating, climate‑controlled lounges, private restrooms, elevator access, and complimentary buffets/non‑alcoholic beverages. One of the most comfortable ways to watch LSU.
- South Stadium Club (Sections 550–568) – Spans the south end; club lounge access, climate control, exclusive entry, and cushioned seats. Amenities and terms are managed by the Tiger Athletic Foundation.
- Skyline Club (Sections 650–658, upper south end) – Open-air club with all-inclusive food and non-alcoholic beverages; beer and wine are available for purchase. Elevated view, social vibe, and good value for fans who like to graze.
- Tiger Den Suites – Premium suite experience along the north; see the official map for placement.
Chairback Seats (Where to find them)
Confirmed chairback locations include:
- 100–106, 300–306, 510–520, 530–543, plus the front rows of 610–619 and 630–643 (many club seats also have chairbacks). If you want back support without a cushion rental, start here.
Tip: LSU also offers rentable seatbacks for added comfort if your section is bleacher‑style.
Accessibility quick hits
Accessible seating is available (subject to availability) and can be requested through LSU’s ticketing portal. ADA parking is off Gourrier Avenue with a shuttle to/from Tiger Stadium on a first‑come, first‑served basis.
