Is Traffic Really Worse at LSU than Other Places?

I have been to several LSU games over the past few years - including a big game in 2011. I have also been to games in Tuscaloosa and Auburn when LSU played there. Honestly, the traffic/parking situation seems about the same.
Auburn is a nightmare, whether you park on campus by the stadium (was able to do this with a pass one year recently) or with everyone else about a mile or more from the stadium. Takes forever.
Alabama is the same way. You get stuck trying to get off of that campus and just don't move.
I have never left an LSU game early. Yeah, I've waited an hour or more to get out of the traffic, but I never thought that it was worse than anywhere else I've been with 85-100K people on a college campus.
It definitely is not enough to make me leave a game early.
So, for those who have been to other SEC stadiums, what has your experience been? Is LSU THAT much worse than others to require so many fans to leave at halftime or in the 3rd quarter of almost every game?

Ive sat in it early and late and have never had a problem with it tbh. Listen to post game and relax

Gainesville is the worst.

Tuscaloosa is the worst I've ever seen, it seems like there's only one way out

I don't think it's worse but don't act like it's a problem limited to LSU. This is a problem that plagues every major team.

I don't think so. Traffic is always going to be bad, relatively speaking with 100,000 people attending any event.

Yeah, that's what I do. I listen to the post game show and don't worry about it. It is just part of things. And, it is that way everywhere.

It doesn't hold a candle to the nightmare which is Athens, GA after a well-attended game.

Yeah, that's what I am saying. But, LSU is the only stadium that I have seen that files out almost every game in the 3rd quarter. The excuse given here is "traffic." I am just not sure that traffic out of Tiger Stadium is worse than other places. Everyone has the same problem.

It's like this at every sec venue (except Vandy). Most sec stadiums are in typical college towns and the infrastructure will never accommodate those 6-8 days per year.

honestly, all are pretty damn bad...only problem is that LSU is a bit worse because it is bounded by a river to the west...
one place that I was totally impressed with was the university of washington...there were about a hundred busses waiting outside of the staduim after the game and they cleared out a hell of a lot of folks almost immediately...

Yeah, but everyday parking on Wire Road is over a mile from the stadium. So, you have the walking time with crowds and what not, anyway. Then, you still have to get out of there.

After the Georgia game last year I waited about 2 hours after the game to try and leave and still sat in traffic for about an hour. It was way worse than LSU.

This all confirms what I thought.
I wonder if LSU fans compare Tiger Stadium to the Superdome? I have always gotten out of Saints games fast. But, that is a completely different set up. It is downtown and not on a college campus.
LSU fans need to stay the whole game.

Yup, don't get in a hurry and enjoy the post game show

Been to every SEC venue and Athens, GA is the worst, imo.
I will say this about parking at LSU. We ride the bus most games, but wehn we do drive, we park on the northside of campus. Dome that scores opf times day opr night and have never had any problem. Heading toward downtown on Nicholson is the best getting away from TS, imo. And we live on the SE edge of EBRP.

GOTC 2011 was the worst I've ever seen. I shite you not it took 5 1/2 hours for us to get out of Tuscaloosa.

I've always heard UGA is the worst.
Posted on 9/14/14 at 9:50 pm to nycajun
UGA, took me hours to get out of that place 09;
Then last year we hit the bars after and let traffic fade so wasn't too bad.
But the highway outside of Athens with the hundred signals until hit interstate was putrid and caught up with traffic then!
