Does LSU and BRPD even have a plan for traffic?

Since the addition of the East upper deck and Saban arriving at LSU and creating more fan interest from the sidewalk crowd, traffic has been bad and that's understandable. I understand that any time you put 125,000 people on one campus, there's going to be traffic. I really do get that.
What gets me is that every week, the "plan" is changed. When you try to get it down to know which lane to be in, what street to go down, etc. it never fails. What was last week will stay last week and this week is something entirely new. Yesterday was absolutely ridiculous. Barricades shutting off entire lanes for absolutely no reason other than to shut off the lane on the way out. Don't worry about the reason, just shut down the lane and that's it.
How is it that the Saints, the Cowboys Stadium crew, Auburn University, and any other games I can't think of that I've attended - how is it that they get it and LSU doesn't? The LSU and BRPD are absolute jokes on gameday and are just there to draw OT on their paycheck while they stand around and creep out at young college girls old enough to be their daughter.

Where do you park? I always park in the Ag Lot, and the plan for leaving has been the same for years. I've never parked on the other side of campus though, so maybe that's where the problems are.

Auburn? It took FOREVER to leave Auburn a few years ago. Morgantown was by far the worst post game traffic I've ever seen. I had zero problems leaving tiger stadium yesterday, but I agree with you that they change the traffic patterns and which roads get closed every week.

I think they have a plan and work it efficiently.

Didn't read, but after years of fighting traffic after games, I have devised a route that leaves me with absolutely no traffic time. Where do I go, you ask?
You wish you knew.

LSUPD/State/BRPD actually monitors traffic and parking lot egress by helicopter. Since not every lot empties at the same time every week, and outlying surface streets may or may not be more congested than others from one week to the next, it's understandable that the plan changes a bit between games.
Additionally, I'm sure you're smart enough to know that civil engineers could not have foreseen the draw LSU would one day have. I'm sure if they had, things may have been designed differently.

I parked by the Methodist church on campus, stayed until after the band played "Let Us Break Bread Together", and was home in 30 minutes from the time I got in my car. The traffic lanes are always the same in that area.

I park on Nicholson along the tracks. All I have to do is stay on that road and follow it through St. Gabriel and Geismar. Til I hit i10 in Gonzales. Easy route for me.

Buy a pass in the old Alex box stadium parking lot. You shoot down River Road and you are on I-10 within 20-25 minutes.

But also, if you don't like fighting traffic every game, stay home and suck your boyfriend's dick and watch the game on TV.
WOW this is funny. I mean truly clever. I know that all of the other 4th graders love your cutting edge humor. I bet they are laughing now. They are the only ones.

People/fans don't arrive at the same time, but they all want to go home at the same time.
Got a plan? Call the traffic office.

Hey, they bought some cool watch towers to put up on the corner of Burbank and Nicholson though...

In any event, instead of crying to Rantards maybe you could pick up a phone and talk to any of the agencies involved in an attempt to gain some knowledge.
Or, you know, you could just go suck a dick.

no. they have a plan to move 1xx,xxx people off campus in a relatively timely manner and it works. if you don't want traffic, i'm sure there's plenty of spots at the dome for tulane games.
