Won't have to worry about leaving (stadium will only have LSU fans two minutes in)....maybe just getting in.

I parked at University/Fraternity Row in some shopping center. I was late getting there for the 2:30 PM kickoff in 2007. Easy to get in, easy to get out. Long walk from the stadium, however.

Whatever the main highway is that goes by the campus. All the people we were with all parked there and getting in and out was super easy. (Highway 278/Highway 6)

Not that hard to find a spot. Across Jackson Ave. in the movie theater parking lot is far, but easy (just GPS Malco).

Frat row will be harder, but closer.

Other side of grove is the square and neighborhoods. You can park legally in front of someone's house in between the Square and the Grove and you'll be fine. That's what I'm probably doing.

Can be a hell of a walk from there.



I'd google map Van Buren and park on the west side of the square somewhere on a street off of Van Buren. It is a 2 minute walk from there and you'll be super close to the square after the game.

Not getting out will definitely be easier on Hwy 6 or in the Malco, but still not that hard in the neighborhoods between Grove and Square.

Oh and don't illegally park anywhere because the tow truck guys are HAWKS.

Just read all the street signs thoroughly.

I need to figure out where to park. It sounds like parking sucks.

It boarders campus. The actual stadium is not next door but the campus is and we wanted to see some of the campus walking to and from the Grove/stadium/tailgating area. I guess it just depends if you want to see Ole Mrs.'s campus or not.

Very close. I walk to every game from the Square. About a mile tops I'd guess, probably more like 3/4 a mile.

I too will be eating on the square then walking there. It's what smart people should do

there's plenty of parking, and it's free. just don't show up 5 minutes before kickoff and expect a good space. we parked on coliseum dr last time, a little over half mile walk to the stadium.

I personally like the paid parking section in the top left corner. It's 20 bucks but it's easy access in and out to the highway and is a quarter mile from the stadium.

Highway 6 leads to Batesville, which leads to I-55 and Grenada.
