My son wants to go to the Mississippi state game for his birthday. Looks like I can get tickets and hotel. How hard is it to get into the public parking.

Get there early enough and it's about as hard as parking at walmarks

I'm going to the A & M game on Thanksgiving. Any word on how long the bathroom lines are?

Check online for pre game festivity times and arrive about an hour before whatever you want to see begins. Don't miss the team walking down the hill and the GBFTL as well.

You want to be at least 2-3 hrs early and probably as least 4 hrs before KO. That gives you time to park, see some sights and still get into the game at a reasonable time.

I recommend entereing the stadium at least 30min before KO. At 15:00 before KO the pregame starts.

Not hard. There's always parking near the sorority houses/U-Rec

Hayfield Lot is also an option too

I usually park at the free Hayfield or Levee Lot and walk down Gourrier to Nicholson. I'm usually there at 10AM for tailgating for an evening game, wide-open parking at that time. I notice the free lots start filling up rapidly after 12 noon for evening SEC games.

drive in from Navarre is gonna be a heck of a long day....but manageable.

As long as you can get rolling before about 8AM, you should be ok...any later and you are going to run into a hell of a traffic jam.

Moo state is the first SEC game, so it should be fun. unfortunately, that means a good bit of traffic, too.

If you have more questions, just hit us up here and we will answer.

You can also shuttle in from downtown BR. I haven't seen it posted yet this year - but I'm sure they will offer it again...
The city buses run about every 15 minutes from a few spots around downtown and drop you off across the street from the stadium near the vet school. Getting in is quick and easy. Cost is $10 per person for the round-trip.

Getting out afterwards is affected by traffic - but typically not more than about 15 mins back to your car. Buses only run once full - so you may have to wait a few minutes for it to fill up once you get on.

Here is the link but it is 2015 info - Not sure when they will update it for 2016.
