Eliminating most of the $40 gameday on campus parking would be a start. They can't be making that much money with that. A lot of 75% empty lots on campus last year while most fans parked on the outskirts of campus. Except when there was a chance of rain and all the free lots closed, then it just became a total mess.

It's like that at every sec campus. As long as people are paying to have those spots, they will still be reserved.

I recommend looking into using the new parking garage.

I would like to know the thought process in the LSU Athletic Department.

Seems like anything they touch, they screw up!

Would be nice if the athletic dept had a couple sessions asking the public to attend for feedback. They can talk about parking, fees, construction, etc..

There were more fans attending games 3-4 years ago and not nearly the traffic congestion. Now there are less fans but traffic congestion so bad fans just turn around and go home.

The $40 parking was the beginning of the end and not well planned or thought out. A blanket parking fee of $20 for everyone would have netted LSU more money and most people would be for it.
