For those stuck in traffic after games, where do you park/leave from?

Since the 80's, we've been parking in front of Kirby towers. Now that's gone, so I parked at the levee. Took two hour to get to the interstate.

I make it back to my parents house off O'Neal & S. Harrell's Ferry usually within 35-45 minutes of getting to my car. Usually tailgate with a buddy who has a condo by VooDoo BBQ. Pay $20 and park on Nicholson as close to his condo as possible just north of the gates. Head north on Nicholson and cut over to Highland and hit Louise St. and you're at the I-10 east onramp in no time.

If people would study the maps and figure out where to park so they can go with the contraflow, it would solve a lot of problems. If the contraflow is going in the wrong direction from where you want to go, you have to go with it and find a place to turn, or wait a while until they take the controls off. Find another lot that allows you exit in the direction you want to go.

this is my problem...after the games, I am forced in the opposite direction that I want to go. unfortunately, over many years of trying to upgrade, I have never been able to get a parking pass in a lot that sends me in the right direction.

^^same here, we ALWAYS get sent south , and it takes forever to get re orientated

I stay till the game officially ends hence no traffic woes. Ya'll should try it!

I park at the old Alex Box lot. I turn left on River Road and then to Brightside which is where I live. I stayed until the sack that won the game. I hit traffic on River Road and then stop and go up to 5mph driving down Brightside. I believe Brightside became a major choke point once the Hayfield lots become so popular due to the fact that it's a free lot.... In the last 3-4 years I have started riding my bike home to avoid sitting in traffic for an hour for a 4 mile trip.... I definitely don't ride my bike home for the games that my younger kids attend.

Thats where I park, it's a nightmare trying to get down Nicholson. I always post up at pluckers until it dies down.

Free Park behind the Law School every game. Exit right onto Dalrymple and make it onto I-10 in about 30 minutes or sooner, depending on the game. We always have the post-game on the radio, so it goes by pretty fast.

BTW, Post-Game is now "Listenable" without High School Boy. Culotta & the Prince are light years better and not annoying/irritating. I can now actually leave the show on until Hannigriff comes on.......
