About Tiger Stadium
Tiger Stadium, which is also called Death Valley, stands on the Louisiana State University campus in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The LSU Tigers football team plays its home games there. Before 1924 the team used State Field, on the university's old campus downtown. The stadium opened in 1924 with room for 12,000, in the lower halves of the east and west sideline grandstands.
The stadium grew in stages. In 1931 the existing grandstands gained 10,000 more seats, and in 1936 a further 24,000 seats enclosed the north end zone, turning the stadium into a horseshoe. More than 21,000 seats went into the south end zone in 1953, producing a bowl of 67,720 seats. In 2012 LSU's Board of Supervisors approved, by a unanimous vote, an $80 million upper deck over the south end zone, adding 70 "Tiger Den" suites. Work started on October 17, 2012, and finished by the summer of 2014.
At the time of the 1936 expansion, the state budget had money for dormitories but not for the seating. Until the late 1980s, students lived in West, North and South Stadium dormitories, which were part of LSU housing. The official capacity of 102,321 ranks Tiger Stadium seventh in the world by capacity. Alabama head coach Bear Bryant said that being a visiting team in Baton Rouge was "like being inside a drum".

- Many thin seating rows
- The bowl is built from many thin stepped rows of seating. Print friendly adapts them to your print scale; Full detail keeps every row, which suits larger prints and a fine nozzle.
- Slim columns around the outside
- Slender columns line the outer walls, and a tall block on one side carries a fine grid. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm help keep them crisp, and a larger print keeps more of them.
- One piece with the ground
- Tiger Stadium is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. Tiger Stadium takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.

Common questions
Is there a Tiger Stadium STL I can download?
Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.
How big can I print it?
Any print size from 40 mm across. Tiger Stadium grows with the print: about 15 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
Is it free?
