Major Wright is well aware of how loud Tiger Stadium can be, playing there while at Florida.

Wright was on Thursday’s edition of Pregaming the SEC before the Florida-LSU matchup. Wright played the Tigers each year while at Florida.

Wright said that Baton Rouge was the loudest place he played in college outside of Gainesville.

He sat next to Joe Haden once in Tiger Stadium on the bench. Haden couldn’t hear Wright even though the Florida teammates were right next to each other.

“The atmosphere is nuts, man. I’m gonna tell you this, going into Baton Rouge. Baton Rouge was the loudest stadium in at college other than The Swamp.  I remember this vividly, I’m sitting next to Joe Haden, and we are looking up at the scoreboard. I’m like, ‘Joe!’ He can’t hear me. Literally I’m sitting right next to him. I looked around the whole stadium and I was in awe at how loud this stadium was.”

A bowl game spot is on the line for the Gators, as LSU looks to bounce back after a tough loss vs. Alabama.

The Tigers are looking to make it a 5-game winning streak against Florida on Saturday. Kickoff will be at 7:30 p.m. on SEC Network.
