<Li> LSU's Tiger Stadium uniquely sports "H" style (or "offset") goal posts, as opposed to the more modern "Y" ("slingshot" or "tuning fork") style used by other schools today, although they are not the true "H" goal posts which were once ubiquitous on American football fields, since the posts are behind the uprights and connected to the uprights by curved bars . This "H" style allows the team to run through the goal post in the north end zone when entering the field . Tiger Stadium is one of only three Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) schools college stadiums in the nation who still uses the H style goal posts . The only other FBS stadiums that use goalposts with two posts all season are Doak Campbell Stadium at Florida State and Martin Stadium at Washington State . Many other schools use the two post goals during rivalry games only to prevent them from being torn down in victory, a real safety concern in recent years . They received special permission from the NCAA prior to the November 20, 1993 game against Tulane in conjunction with LSU's football centennial; NCAA rules have since changed to permit the use of two uprights full - time . These goal posts remained intact for the four New Orleans Saints games held in 2005, with dispensation from the NFL . Under NFL rules in place since 1967, goalposts for NFL games must be slingshot style and bright gold in color . Tiger Stadium's goalposts are white with the then - NFL - standard 30 - foot uprights (the NFL raised the height of the uprights to 35 feet for 2014). Many schools' uprights are the NCAA - minimum 20 feet high .

The crossbar is painted with the word "WIN!", and superstition dictates every player entering the field touch the bar on his way out the door . </Li>
