Not surprising.
That said, it also must be taken into account there were a lot of local visitors driving to campus who don't usually come for an LSU game. Visitors who are not particularly well known for following rules well. Case in point, I've talked to more than a few people who told me some of the parking pass lots were full...despite people with passes in said lots being stuck in traffic trying to get to the game. It was opined that people without passes were just jumping curbs or otherwise getting into the lots even though they did not have a pass. People who many not have even been going to the game given the stadium was pretty full at kickoff despite there being a ton of people stuck in traffic trying to get onto campus.
I'm not saying the city police should ever be held as some sort of gold standard for traffic control. But it could be the unique situation this particular game created, essentially an invitation for any and everyone in the city to converge on campus, may be the cause for such a mess. A cause that, presumably won't be there this week with an out of state opponent in town. If so, then we know there are BIG TIME problems with the city, LSU, BRPD, or all three.

We parked in lot 404 and there were 4 people tailgating close to where we parked and each of their tents were taking up 2-3 parking spaces. None of the vehicles around the tents had parking passes. This was around 2pm.
