Been to BDS, Oxford, and Auburn. Don’t recall traffic being the issue that it is here. What abt the others? Clearly the urban planners didn’t plan for >100k in the stands (and god knows how many just tailgating)

It’s not great but LSU is the worst and it’s not really close. Other stadiums have way more room to work with and are generally in states that handle infrastructure better. We are 40 years behind other states when it comes to our roads.

Negative. Athens and Knoxville weren't bad along with the others you mentioned.

Been to BDS, Moo State, Oxford, Arkansas, LSU, and A&M. LSU and A&M are tied for the worst by a massive margin. The rest were super easy/borderline zero traffic issues. A&M you have to wait for a bus to take you to the next town over. You’re still waiting forever for a bus and then waiting for that bus to take you 20-30 minutes to your car. Then walk to your car before a bit of normal traffic. LSU is far and away the worst without having to ride a bus. It’s truly crazy how pitiful it is compared to everyone else.

UGA is terrible. So is Obnoxiousville (UTenn). I have been to several games at both places.

Vanderbilt definitely doesn’t have traffic issues.

There’s no fix. Too many people, too few ways in and out, too big a body of water to the west.

It’s not that big of a river and much easier to build bridges across with no deep shipping. There’s four bridges near Tennessee’s campus. You don’t have to build them with 160 foot clearance above the river.

The Tenn River at Neyland Stadium has several bridges within easy shot of the stadium.

50% of the problem on LSU’s campus is that most of the fan base is comprised of total retards put zero thought into their post-game travel when parking.

“Damnit, I know I have to drive to Hammond after the game, but I’m parking in a River Road lot anyway”

I park on the north side of campus and never have problems with traffic after the game.
