LSU athletic director Joe Alleva released a statement thanking Tiger fans for their support of LSU’s fall athletics, especially after Tiger Stadium sold out for LSU’s 36-16 upset over Georgia. 
Alleva calls Tiger Stadium the “most intimidating place to play football in America,” but urges fans — the student section in particular — to “keep it clean.”
“We are Death Valley because of the intensity of our fans and tough style and grit that often characterizes our team,” Alleva said in the press release. “I know we can and will continue the great traditions of Death Valley in a positive way.”
Alleva’s statement is in response to the student section chanting “STTDB” and “kick their a** and beat the s*** out of them” along with the LSU Tiger Marching Band’s songs. 
“Our goal is to create a competitive advantage for our team and to inspire our players and each other,” Alleva said. “Chants and cheers that blatantly offend rather than inspire do not represent what LSU is all about. Be relentless. Be loud … We have a diverse group of fans in the stadium, and every week we represent the entire LSU family on national television. Let’s represent LSU with the pride and class it deserves.”
