LSU Ticket office now saying there is no parking available for the Florida game. Auburn parking is $75 per vehicle, WKU $40 per vehicle, Arky is $50. Is Arky a lesser game than Auburn? How in the hell can the ENTIRE CAMPUS be "sold out" for parking???

The parking situation this year is a real shite show.

I think you have your facts wrong. That would be impossible since the overnight decals don't go on sale until the Friday before the game. And where are you getting these prices? It's $40 for cars and $50 for trailers no matter what game.

You can by GameDay parking passes ahead of time. We do this every year for individual games rather than a full parking pass.

Is this your first game this year? It's impossible for the entire campus to be sold out. You might want to 'splain yo'self fool.

Some of ya'll are unbelievable with this parking stuff. It's really not that big a deal at all. We found a great spot less than 2 hours before game time for FREE right off dalrymple behind the frat houses for the Kentucky game.

I wish I could say we had to walk a decent distance but I'd be lying. We were outside the stadium in 15 minutes. Less than a quarter of a mile down dalrymple, down the hill and there we were. Why anyone who is not severly handicapped or has trouble walking would even think about spending money on parking in the "parking zones" is beyond me.

I wouldn't show up to this game @ noon expecting to find a spot like that.

Couple things here: Kentucky was an unusally docile game, it was 11:10 am and parking was very, very easy to find. The free lot at the hayfield was virtually empty when we got there at 8:45 or 9 am.

Now go to a FLA. game or Auburn game at night and you may have to get to campus 6 or 7 hours early to get anywhere close to campus. For that, I'd rather have an indivudual gameday parking pass for Alex Box to guarantee me a spot and so I don't have to get out there 10 hours early. I can show up 3, 4 hours early and get into my lot. Without a gameday parking pass for FLA. at home, you'll be 10 miles out on Burbank pal.

Not really, I'm less than 2 miles from Tiger Stadium from my house on Highland but thanks for the concern.

The passes that are sold out are for the individual game reserved lots. It isn't possible for the new "gameday" passes to be sold out since they don't go on sale until....gameday.

I think he is talking about parking passes at Alex Box West. The Florida game has been sold out for about 2 weeks.

i would think the OP meant this as well
