DISASTER: LSU Tigers FC Stadium Catches Fire And Damage… See More..

The LSU Tigers football team has experienced several incidents involving fires at their stadium, Tiger Stadium, also known as “Death Valley.” One notable event occurred on August 20, 2006, when a small fire broke out under Gate 3 of the stadium. The Baton Rouge Fire Department responded promptly, extinguishing the fire in approximately 20 minutes. Initial reports indicated minimal damage, with no fire or smoke affecting the seating area. The fire was believed to have originated in an office beneath the stadium

Another significant incident took place on September 21, 1996, during a game between LSU and Auburn. While the game was underway, a nearby building known as “The Barn,” which housed the Auburn gymnastics team, caught fire. Despite the proximity of the fire, the game continued without interruption. This event is often referred to as “The Night ‘The Barn’ Burned.”

In both instances, the swift response of emergency services and the prompt action of stadium officials ensured the safety of attendees and minimized damage to the facilities. These events highlight the importance of fire safety measures and emergency preparedness in large venues like Tiger Stadium.
