BATON ROUGE — LSU fans planning to attend home games in person this year will be without a familiar voice at Death Valley: Dan Borné.
Long-time Tiger Stadium public address announcer Dan Borné is temporarily stepping away from the booth to manage health concerns, the university announced earlier today.
Borné has served as the public address announcer for the Tigers for 38 years and has also worked as the announcer for LSU Men’s basketball games at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center for the previous 36 years.
“We are going to miss hearing Dan’s voice fill Tiger Stadium on Saturday nights,” LSU coach Brian Kelly said. “Dan has been a big part of creating the atmosphere and energy in Tiger Stadium. We hope for a speedy recovery for Dan and look forward to his return to the booth in Tiger Stadium.”
The university hopes he can return some time during the 2024 season but didn’t specify when that might be.
The longtime voice of Alex Box Stadium, Bill Fanques will take over in the meantime.
LSU’s season kicks off on Sept. 1 when the Tigers travel to Las Vegas to take on the USC Trojans in Allegiant Stadium at 6:30 p.m. local time.
